Of late, there is a great deal of emphasis on methods adopted for digital humanities. I wonder if such tools can be used to study entrepreneurship from a different perspective. I would appreciate any pointers?. Thank you
Hello.
On what I know about Digital Humanities, it is focus on the interacion human-computer and the philosophical quest models on the Humanities purpose in the world, now that all technology is around, studying, deliberating and talking about how we evolve as humans through technology.
For that matter, talking about entrepreneruship and digital humanities must be always a question on the person itself. Which purpose impulse an entrepreneur to engage into a: community, group of clients, social activities, etc. And also, what digital tools (only focus on the human side interaction) are used to achieve this purpose (or to improve it, or to enhance such entrepreneurship engagement).
These are my ideas regarding your question. I hope they are useful.
Un ejemplo de aplicación de herramientas digitales a las humanidades y al colectivo empresarial está en el sistema de información geográfica o GIS que han desarrollado Ana Crespo Solana (Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, Madrid) y Jack B. Owens (Idaho State University, USA) a partir del proyecto Dyncoopnet, financiado por la Fundación Europea de la Ciencia y del que he participado. También en los métodos de Hilario Casado Alonso (Universidad de Valladolid, España), Amandio Barros y otros profesores de la Universidad de Oporto (Portugal) a la correspondencia de los comerciantes Simón Ruiz y sus hermanos y colaboradores, o en mi caso a la de Feipe Moscoso, mercader de origen oraní y judío establecido en Alicante (España) entre 1660 y 1685.

An immediate example that comes to mind is creating a digital archive of 'successful entrepreneurs in your local area as a global online project. The entrepreneurs would be interviewed by students, the digital videos of the interviews would be transcribed and both later make up a larger searchable contextualized database with an innovative information architecture. The database would be placed online and eventually connected with other similar databases sharing metadata and information to create a network to gain larger insights and make connections regarding entrepreneurship. This could be a history, anthropology and business interdisciplinary project connecting many humanities disciplines through the digital interface. Once a prototype is complete locally, larger grants can be applied for to connect globally and create a humanly scalable and pragmatically useful application. The key is to work with locally available resources technologically and academically with faculty/students who are interested in participating.
Digital humanities are an interdisciplinary set of fields that are primarily concerned with using digital technologies, sources and methods as part of research in the humanities.
