Abstract
Zbadanie, jakie czynniki przedsiębiorczości i sukcesu mogą pomóc w osiągnięciu odporności i stabilności biznesu oraz osiągnięciu przewagi konkurencyjnej dzięki innowacjom w różnych krajach i realiach biznesowych w erze transformacji cyfrowej i turbulentnych czasach. METODYKA: Na podstawie narracyjnego przeglądu literatury przedstawiamy wyniki badań dotyczących nowych strategii i perspektyw dla innowacji biznesowych w czasach wielu niewiadomych. Każda organizacja chce znaleźć drogę do sukcesu i stworzyć swój unikalny model biznesowy, który może uchwycić tworzenie wartości i innowacyjność oraz być bardziej adaptacyjnym, odpornym i stabilnym w krytycznych momentach oraz zrównoważonym w czasie. WYNIKI: Artykuły przedstawione w tym numerze pozwalają odkryć podstawowe czynniki innowacyjności i sukcesu biznesowego w różnych organizacjach i środowiskach, w których te przedsiębiorstwa funkcjonują. IMPLIKACJE DLA TEORII I PRAKTYKI: W artykule dokonano syntezy znaczenia prezentowanego pola badawczego, łącząc jego teoretyczne tło z praktycznymi badaniami. Zalecenia i implikacje dla przyszłych trendów tego nurtu badawczego mogą być również pomocne dla profesjonalistów i naukowców. ORYGINALNOŚĆ I WARTOŚĆ: Nowatorskie badania przedstawione w tym numerze zostały przeprowadzone w pięciu różnych (rozwijających się i rozwiniętych) krajach i sektorach biznesu, które przedstawiają różne ludzkie i pozaludzkie czynniki jako kluczowe do wzmocnienia transformacji biznesowej w złożonym świecie. Każda grupa elementów ma kluczowe znaczenie dla sukcesu biznesowego, a ich składniki są od siebie współzależne. Musimy patrzeć na interakcje i współzależności jego komponentów w dynamicznej i sieciowej formie i nie możemy upraszczać rzeczywistości, skupiając się tylko na jednej grupie komponentów biznesowych, ignorując pozostałe. Te unikalne badania zapewniły cenną perspektywę ustanowienia dynamicznych, adaptacyjnych ścieżek biznesowych w kierunku zrównoważonej i odpornej przyszłości organizacyjnej oraz pozwoliły na stworzenie propozycji przyszłych ścieżek badawczych potrzebnych do przeprowadzenia zmian strukturalnych w przedsiębiorstwach.

PURPOSE: Explore what entrepreneurship and success factors can help drive business to resilience and stability and achieve competitive advantage through innovation in different countries and business realities in the era of digital transformation and turbulent times. METHODOLOGY: Based on the narrative literature review, we present research findings concerning new strategies and outlooks for business innovation in times of many unknowns. Each organization wants to find its way to gain success and create its unique business model, which can capture value creation and innovativeness and be more adaptive, resilient, and stable in critical moments and sustainable over time. FINDINGS: The articles presented in this issue explore the essential factors of business innovation and success in different organizations and the environments in which these businesses function. IMPLICATIONS FOR THEORY AND PRACTICE: This article synthesizes the presented research field's importance and relevance, connecting its theoretical background with practical research. Recommendations and implications for future trends of this research stream might also be helpful for professionals and academicians. ORIGINALITY AND VALUE: The novel studies presented in this issue were done in five different (developing and developed) countries and business sectors that present human-based and non-human-based factors as crucial factors needed to empower business transformation in a complex world. Each group of elements is essential in business success, and their components are interdependent. We need to look at the interactions and interdependencies of their components in a dynamic and network form and cannot simplify the reality, focusing only on one group of business components and ignoring the other. These unique studies provide a valuable outlook to establish dynamic, adaptive business pathways towards a sustainable and resilient organizational future and propose future research paths needed to execute structural changes in businesses.
