Handbook of Entrepreneurship and Sustainable Development Research

In this handbook, a diverse group of researchers from 16 countries contributes to the understanding of how entrepreneurship and sustainability work together. To introduce this relationship, they explore the historical roots of the alliance between sustainable development and entrepreneurship. The focus then shifts to the potential of entrepreneurship to be used as a tool to improve sustainability in current times and addresses topics such as the motivational and intentional approach to combining entrepreneurship with sustainable development and industry- and economy-oriented approaches. Throughout, the authors explore various themes including women's empowerment, climate change, and organic farming. Annotation c2015 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
