Dr. Ali Aslan Gümüsay co-authored an article on digital social innovation in the wake of COVID-19. The article was published in Journal of Business Venturing insights as an open access publication. 

The article addresses the question of how crises in general - and COVID-19's physical distancing measures in particular - shape entrepreneurial opportunites for social innovation.

Have a look at some highlights of the article:

• Physical distancing constraints promote digital brokering and digitized services
• New entrepreneurial actors engage in improvised venturing to create social innovation
• Existing ventures engage in rapid pivoting and pro-social product extension
• Social innovation in response to crisis can be ephemeral or enduring
