Perspective on the Development of Digital Capital Theory:Origins,Applications,and Prospects
With the increasing level of informatization and digitization,digital technology and services have played an increasingly important role in various fields of society.The academic community has proposed the concept of"digital capital"and formed a theoretical system.In order to help the academic community gain a deeper understanding of digital capital theory and provide reference for subsequent empirical research,this paper systematically and deeply explores the digital capital theory from four aspects,namely,origin and development,connotation and extension,measurement and quantification,application and prospect,on the basis of combing and summarizing domestic and foreign literature related to digital capital.The study found that digital capital,proposed by Ragnedda et al.on the basis of Bourdieu's capital view,is a generalization of digital resources possessed by individuals with certain social utility,including digital capabilities and digital technologies,which can be quantified from different dimensions.It is an important factor affecting users'adoption of information systems and services,as well as engaging in certain information behaviors.It provides a theoretical framework for understanding digital divide and social inequality.
