Abstract:
Digital literacy is the ability of using digital sources. Adopting new technologies contributes to both its effectiveness and efficiency and is a key source of long-term competitive advantage in entrepreneurial ventures. Cyberfeminism is a woman-centred perspective that advocates women’s use of modern digital technologies for empowerment. This paper explores the role of digital literacy in empowering women entrepreneurship in the post-covid19 via increased digital literacy and improved self-efficacy. This perspective paper aims at proposing a conceptual framework linking digital technologies and digital literacy to shed the light on how to integrate digital technologies among B40 women entrepreneurs. The model includes “Social Media” “Social Capital”, “Self-efficacy”, and “Empowerment” that could be referred as a guideline for B40 women entrepreneurs to adapt digital technology in their business towards Technopreneurship.
