Abstract

This paper primarily focuses on two questions: (1) “How is a sustainable entrepreneurship team (SET) formed?”; and (2) “What factors contribute to effective SET?”. Based on the model of Baron and Henry (2011), we adopt a process view of SET development and propose a conceptual model of a SET work that includes four key elements: (1) Sustainable entrepreneurial motivation; (2) sustainable entrepreneurial opportunity recognition; (3) knowledge resources acquirement; and (4) sustainable entrepreneurial outcome. Furthermore, based on complex systems theory, we elaborate on how individual entrepreneurs form a SET. We also develop a SET scale and provide some initial empirical support for our conceptual model. Finally, based on our qualitative and quantitative results, we offer suggestions for Research Question 2.

Highlights

  • In recent years, the term “sustainability” is often used to describe developmental visions

  • We argue that sustainable entrepreneurship (SE) development requires four key elements: (1) sustainable entrepreneurial motivation (SEM); (2) sustainable entrepreneurial opportunity recognition (SEOR); (3) knowledge resources acquirement (KRA); and (4) sustainable entrepreneurial outcome (SEO)

  • Based on Baron and Henry‘s (2011) entrepreneurship process model, we described the process of sustainable entrepreneurship and argue it be considered at the team level

Summary

Introduction

The term “sustainability” is often used to describe developmental visions. Entrepreneurial activities were believed to lead to these problems [1,2,3]; scholars have recently shown that entrepreneurship can promote the development of sustainability in a society and the protection of the environment [4,5,6]. How can entrepreneurs take action to escape “green prisons” to implement sustainable business practices These include setting norms related to environmental behavior, establishing co-operation, defining property rights and seeking government intervention.
