Sustainable corporate entrepreneurship from a strategic corporate social responsibility perspective Current research and future opportunities

This paper explores the process of sustainable entrepreneurship from the perspective of strategic corporate social responsibility (CSR). Drawing on insights from entrepreneurship studies that focus on opportunity creation and enactment, along with the extant literature on CSR, the authors propose a conceptual framework for sustainable entrepreneurship that combines an entrepreneurial approach with sustainability. The authors suggest that sustainability should be embedded in the business operations of companies and that sustainable business practices should be driven by an entrepreneurial approach in order to create shared value that is, value for the business as well as for society. Shared value creation is the outcome of sustainable corporate entrepreneurship.
