Digital Shadow Entrepreneurship, Social Commerce. InstagramAbstract
Informal digital entrepreneurship encompasses economic activities in the virtual environment, such as virtual social networks, which are not regulated by public authorities. In this context, the economic activities that occur in these social platforms are called social commerce. This research aims to investigate digital informal entrepreneurship through Instagram in the northeast. The study has a qualitative nature and is exploratory and descriptive. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and non-participant observation and analyzed through content analysis. The research results indicate that the profiles of business owners are not so different. Motivations such as ease of access to new markets, increased exposure of products and opportunity are among the most cited. The difficulties most addressed were to achieve followers, only vision and sound can be used and bad functionalities. Thereby, s-commerce is a recent phenomenon and it is not possible to say whether the reality found in this research will prevail over the years.
