Book Synopsis

The ebook edition of this title is Open Access and freely available to read online.

Environmental sustainability and social responsibility are of key importance for organizations in the 21st century and beyond, but business models are not achieving this, nor the expectations of consumers.

The book addresses the critical need for innovative, research-based and practice-oriented approaches to tackle vulnerabilities and challenges of the current business environment by incorporating sustainable practices into business and place strategies. These practices are guided by principles such as the circular economy, inclusivity, stakeholder participation, place authenticity, and regeneration. These principles/practices are essential for transitioning businesses and places towards sustainability, making them more resilient to external shocks and more beneficial to local communities.

The Entrepreneurial Behaviour series is dedicated to communicating innovative and multi-disciplinary new research that advances theory and practice in Entrepreneurial Behaviour. The series is focused on expanding the scope of Entrepreneurial Behaviour theory and analysis and enriching practice by encouraging multi-theoretical, multi-cultural and multi-disciplinary approaches.
