On April 2nd, the 27th Feima Entrepreneurship Academic Forum, hosted by the School of Entrepreneurship, was successfully held in Classroom 602. This forum specially invited Professor Shan Biao’an from the School of Business and Management at Jilin University to deliver a special academic lecture titled “New Perspectives on the Study of Entrepreneurial Activities in Digital Context.” Through a combination of online and offline methods, it presented an academic feast for all first-year graduate students in the context of digital transformation.
At the beginning of the forum, Professor Peng Huatao, Deputy Dean of the School of Entrepreneurship made a solemn introduction of the keynote speaker. Professor Shan Biao’an is a professor and doctoral supervisor at the School of Business and Management, Jilin University, a Kuang Yaming (Youth) Scholar, and a regional editor for the SSCI journal “Asia Pacific Business Review.” His research focuses on the fields of digital innovation and entrepreneurship management.
Professor Shan conducted an in-depth exploration of “The Impact of Digital Technology on Entrepreneurial Activities,” analyzing the topic from multiple dimensions, including technological characteristics, diversity of entrepreneurial entities, and the efficiency of resource allocation. By combining typical cases from both domestic and international contexts, he systematically dissected the changes and challenges of entrepreneurial activities in the digital age. He pointed out that the openness and programmability of digital technology not only lower the threshold for entrepreneurship but also give rise to new types of entrepreneurial entities like user entrepreneurs. Meanwhile, the strategic value of data resources and the innovation of opportunity development models have also become the focus of academic attention. His clear and concise explanation made abstract academic theories easily understandable.
This forum not only deepened the understanding of the digital entrepreneurship ecosystem among teachers and students but also injected new momentum into regional innovation and entrepreneurship education. The teachers and students present all expressed that the lecture was both academically profound and realistic concern, providing important inspiration and guidance for subsequent academic research and entrepreneurial practice. The School of Entrepreneurship will continue to invite leading scholars from home and abroad to discuss entrepreneurial issues in the context of technological change, promote more cross-university and cross-sector dialogues and cooperation, and help cultivate more innovative and entrepreneurial talents that meet the demands of the times.
