> with the aim of further illuminating this vital societal role. This
> special issue Call is seeking high quality conceptual and empirical
> submissions that explore the opportunities, threats and unique
> characteristics that exist in this emerging sustainable
> development-entrepreneurship inter-relationship. We encourage broad
> and far ranging explorations that will extend our understanding of how
> entrepreneurs can address a variety of energy, environmental, and
> social concerns. Relevant topics include but are not limited to the
> following:
>
> Are there elements of Opportunity Discover unique to the evolution of
> Sustainable Development
>
> What are the implications of additional complexity challenges due to
> social, environmental and economic parameters on the bounded and
> transrationality of
> entrepreneurs?
>
> What are the differences between incumbents and new entrants regarding
> emerging sustainable development concerns?
>
> Can the establishment of sustainable development concerns and policies
> provide, or hinder, new entrepreneurial or innovative activities?
>

> environmental dynamics?
