Artificial intelligence (AI), digital ecosystems, and increasingly sophisticated organizational systems are reshaping how entrepreneurial value is created, coordinated, and sustained. These transformations invite a broader understanding of entrepreneurship that extends beyond independent venture creation toward organizationally enabled ownership development. Synthesizing the conceptual contributions presented in this volume, this editorial argues that entrepreneurial ownership represents a distinct theoretical construct that deserves explicit scholarly attention and proposes an ownership-centered perspective as an emerging research agenda for entrepreneurship and strategic management.
