It means that physically, it can be anywhere in the world in digital format.



Unlike off-line world of entrepreneurship, however, spaces for e-preneurship operation is not considered as premium asset, as it can be easily obtained, managed and moved to wherever places available in the internet. But then comes operational risks every epreneur wants to avoid: spaces gone, spaces crashed, spaces taken over without prior notice…
