Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The evolving landscape of sustainable entrepreneurship and organizational management has become a focal point in modern research, emphasizing the need for innovative frameworks that foster both economic viability and social responsibility. The purpose of this Special Issue is to explore cutting-edge strategies, methodologies, and practices that foster sustainable business development and organizational resilience in a rapidly changing global economy.
The concept of sustainable entrepreneurship plays a crucial role in guiding future enterprises by integrating economic growth with ethical, social, and environmental concerns. Innovation in business models, digital transformation, and ethical leadership are increasingly used by forward-thinking organizations to navigate sustainability challenges. In order to balance profitability with responsibility, companies should understand how strategic management and sustainable growth interact.
We invite research and review articles on leadership in sustainable enterprises, the role of emerging technologies, and innovative management approaches for long-term value. Contributions that discuss the impact of government policies, financial incentives, and corporate social responsibility are encouraged. We welcome multidisciplinary perspectives from the fields of business, economics, psychology, and the social sciences to bridge theory and practice. This Special Issue seeks diverse insights into sustainable entrepreneurship and organizational strategies, offering both empirical and conceptual studies with actionable recommendations for businesses, policymakers, and academics.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
