Vol. 6 No. 3 (2014): Enhancing Innovation, Sustainability and entrepreneurship through EIS

The business world has been designated as a foremost strength for creating a sustainable world, predominantly when acting as a source of innovation and creativeness. Sustainability, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship (SIE) explores the evolution of sustainability thinking in the workplace. Sustainopreneurship (a portmanteau of sustainability and entrepreneurship) is the exercise of business organizing to resolve problems related to social and environmental sustainability. It is a “business with a foundation” where world problems are twisted into business opportunities by deployment of sustainability innovations. Social entrepreneurship in contemporary society offers a philanthropic appearance of entrepreneurship that focuses on the benefits that society may harvest. Merely putting, entrepreneurship becomes a social endeavor when it transforms social capital in a manner that affects society completely. The deep roots of sustainability philosophy are now perceptible in widespread and increasingly visible activities worldwide, and SIE explores this progression; its stipulation, its implications and its progression.
