DX시대의 ESG와 기업가정신이 융합적 사고에 미치는 영향

This study aims to explore how ESG management and entrepreneurial spirit strengthen entrepreneurs’ convergent thinking in the era of Digital Transformation (DX). By examining the interactive perspective between traditionally emphasized entrepreneurship and the increasingly prominent ESG elements, the study seeks to propose strategic approaches to maximize digitally driven convergent thinking. The analysis yielded the following results: there were significant differences in the levels of convergent thinking (challenge orientation, strategic thinking, and intercultural acceptance) depending on whether participants had received entrepreneurial education. In addition, significant differences were also found in all three sub-factors of convergent thinking according to the level of ESG awareness. Specifically, for challenge orientation and strategic thinking, no significant difference was found based on entrepreneurial education among those who recognized ESG as important. However, among those with low ESG awareness, individuals who had received entrepreneurial education showed higher levels of challenge orientation and strategic thinking, indicating a significant difference based on education. In contrast, for intercultural acceptance, a significant difference based on entrepreneurial education was found only among those with high ESG awareness. Among those with low ESG awareness, no significant difference was observed in intercultural acceptance based on education.
