A Review on Cyber Entrepreneurship in Malaysia: Past, Present and Future

Abstract

Cyber entrepreneurship is a relatively new frontier in the entrepreneurship field that utilizes the internet of things in doing business, which is shifting from the traditional way. However, there is a lack of systematic review of cyber entrepreneurship research in previous studies. Most of the studies focus on cyber entrepreneurship as targeted current career and employment for human capital sustainability. Few systematic reviews have been carried out on the future impacts of cyber entrepreneurship among Malaysian cyber entrepreneurs. This paper sets out to analyse the existing literature review outlining early issues, reveal trends, and identify research gaps towards the future impact of cyber entrepreneurship in the Malaysian context. A total of 55 articles addressing the cyber entrepreneurship which were published between the year 2011 and 2019 were analysed, guided by a systematic review of the Web of Science, Scopus and Google Scholar database and the PRISMA statement. Further review of these paper articles resulted in main items example cyber entrepreneurship, digital entrepreneurship, online entrepreneurship, social entrepreneurship, and e-entrepreneurship. This study also highlights several recommendations for conducting a quantitative study as well as to depth specific. Thus, a typical systematic review technique was used for guiding the analysis within the perspective of cyber entrepreneurship to use technologies as well as enable them to examine complementary searching such as snowballing searching and citation tracking.
