During the next 15 years, 40 million jobs need to be created each year in order to keep pace with population growth and foster greater participation of small and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs) in a globally integrated economy. Our paper proposes a new theory that integrates the sustainable use of natural resources, better use of produced capital, and further investment in human capital. Our new theory, Humane Entrepreneurship (HumEnt), encompasses three key research domains: Entrepreneurship, Leadership, and Human Resource Management. The HumEnt theory presents a new perspective on how to create 40 million quality jobs each year and helps address global challenges.
