Special Issue 'Entrepreneurial sustainability: new innovative knowledge'
Dear Colleagues,
Sustainable entrepreneurship is a new subarea of entrepreneurship [5] that is profiled as one of the concepts that, in conjunction with the business strategy, links the organizational performance research towards a new direction [6, 7]. In addition, with the same goal of improving performance, some authors indicate the suitability of adopting this type of multiple strategic orientation [2, 3].
In this special issue, we will focus on sustainability from the entrepreneurial point of view. Specifically, in this area, we are called to change our approach towards a long-term growth that replaces the short-term vision of recent times [1, 4, 8].
The aim of this special issue is to make a relevant contribution presenting a body of works with new innovative knowledge in the field of entrepreneurial sustainability. Suitable topics include, but are not limited to, the following: entrepreneurial sustainability and management innovation, entrepreneurial sustainability and decision-making, entrepreneurial sustainability strategies, business creation within sustainability, entrepreneurial sustainability in marketing, sustainability innovation in business, energy, and climate in the industry.
