Abstract

The study aims to identify the principal circumstances of the digital exclusion of innovative enterprises. A deductive approach was used in the analyses. A leading method was the query of selected literature sources (domestic and foreign) – narrative literature review. Analysis and synthesis were complementary methods. Scientific studies have been chosen from the following full-text databases: EBSCO, Emerald, CEEOL, and BazEkon. The analyses indicated that the primary external circumstances of digital exclusion concerning innovative enterprises include technological, legal, economic, sectoral/cluster, educational, infrastructural, socio-cultural, territorial, and demographic dimensions. On the other hand, the leading internal circumstances for the digital exclusion of innovative enterprises are financial, relational, competence, management, infra-structural, and structural and procedural. In addition, individual circumstances (internal and external) can interact, which further emphasizes the legitimacy of planned and structured management of these circumstances so that they can be used constructively in innovative activities, i.e., aimed at eliminating the phenomenon of digital exclusion.
