| How to improve the identification level of entrepreneurial opportunities is an urgent problem to be solved. At present, most studies on the identification of entrepreneurial opportunities for young entrepreneurs emphasize the net effect of a single factor, and few studies explore the complex causal mechanism between different factors and the identification level of entrepreneurial opportunities for young entrepreneurs with an overall framework. This paper adopts the configuration perspective and fsQCA method to explore the synergistic effect of six antecedents in three levels of technology, entrepreneur and entrepreneurial environment on entrepreneurial opportunity identification of young entrepreneurs. The results show that: (1) a single antecedent condition does not constitute the necessary condition for high entrepreneurial opportunity identification; (2) There are three configurations with high entrepreneurial opportunity identification, namely, the two-factor driven type by entrepreneurs and environment, the all-factor driven type led by digital technology, and the all-factor driven type led by entrepreneurial policy. Entrepreneurial alertness plays a more universal role. (3) There are five configurations that generate non-high entrepreneurial opportunity identification, and there is an asymmetric relationship with the configuration that generates high entrepreneurial opportunity identification. |
