The Impact of the Omani Digital Entrepreneurial Ecosystem on Opportunity Recognition and Entrepreneurial Action: Insights for Enhancing Startup Succes

The purpose of this study is to investigate the Omani digital entrepreneurial ecosystem (EE) and its effect on opportunity recognition and action. Using a descriptive methodology, data were collected from 109 Omani nascent entrepreneurs who are at the stage of launching their tech start-up companies. The authors used SPSS to analyzed data. The finding confirmed that the EE positively influences the opportunities and action from a digital entrepreneurship perspective. The original contribution of this research is to offer an empirical investigation of the role played by the EE not only in terms of the digital opportunity recognition process but also on the capability of nascent entrepreneurs to move toward effective entrepreneurial action. This research offers theoretical and practical implications for decisions makers on opportunity recognition.
