“…On a more practical level, Hendrickson and Tuttle (1997) present (with use of US case studies and a US context) an environmental classification scheme that can be used to categorise the mission or market strategy for different environmental enterprises. Their framework contains internal and external variables as defining criteria.…”

Given the importance of green entrepreneurs in the transition towards a sustainable society, the authors propose a framework for investigating the influences on, and motives of, green entrepreneurs. The literature on entrepreneurs generally, and approaches to classifying entrepreneurs, are reviewed with the aim of gaining useful insights for the green context. The scope for investigation encompasses all possible forms of green business, including not only those founded on the principle of sustainability but also those that are opportunistically or accidentally green. Assessing both the research on typologies of entrepreneurs generally and recent perspectives on green entrepreneurs in particular, the authors propose that green entrepreneurs are best characterised by a combination of internal motivations and external (hard and soft) structural influences. The resulting typology presented in this paper produces four 'ideal types' of green entrepreneurs: innovative opportunists, visionary champions, ethical mavericks and ad hoc enviropreneurs. Their characteristics are explored and examples provided. Recommendations are made on how the typology can contribute to further research into ways to foster green entrepreneurship and the change agent role that green entrepreneurs play in the two-way iterative relationship between firms and society.

Abstract:Purpose: The study aims to identify and rank the major strategies that help achieve successful implementation of Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) in Indian manufacturing industry.Design/methodology/approach: Strategies to implement GSCM have been identified thorough extensive literature review and then experts' opinion is sought for categorizing them into four representative dimensions which are then ranked using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Findings:The study categorizes the GSCM implementation strategies into four dimensionsNon members of supply chain, downward stream supply chain Members, Organizational members of supply chain and upward stream supply chain members. These dimensions are found to play an important role in greening the supply chains enabling the practicing firms achieve enhanced operational performances. opinion of the experts drawn from academia and industry. As is natural, opinions of experts may not always be free from bias or prejudices. Moreover, the study relied more on the GSCM practices literature in developed nations as only limited literature related to the undertaken work in the Indian context was available. Research limitations/implicationsPractical implications: This paper may play important role in understanding various strategies and ranking them in order of importance. This facilitates firms prioritize different actions for achieving high GSCM performances in Indian manufacturing industry. Strategic implementation of green supply chain management will help Indian manufacturing enterprises enjoy cost and efficiency benefits.Originality/value: GSCM is a relatively new topic for majority of Indian manufacturing industries.This work is likely to help GSCM practitioners select suitable strategies in consonance with the government regulations and customers' requirements.

“…To clarify them, Hendrickson and Tuttle [12] succinctly explained that "green entrepreneurship" denotes entrepreneurial activity that benefits the environment, and that "green enterprises" are those that place particular emphasis on environmental impacts in their business practices and resource usage (e.g., using alternative energy sources, recycled products, or more environmental-friendly manufacturing processes).…”

Abstract:The objective of this research was to explore, both theoretically and empirically, the ecological impacts of small-scale entrepreneurial ventures in developing countries. To this end, six microenterprises in rural southwestern Bangladesh established using green-microcredit strategies were evaluated in terms of goals, operational procedures, economic viability, social contributions, and impact on local ecological sustainability. This research revealed that the majority of such enterprises are not only sustainable and comply with current ecological standards, but also contribute a considerable number of vital ecosystem services while simultaneously maintaining suitably high profit margins to promise long-term economic viability. These findings indicate that microenterprises given environmental guidance by developmental non-governmental organizations (NGOs)-especially NGOs microfinance institutions, NGO-MFIs-have the potential to make significant ecological contributions and address the issue of climate change from the bottom of the social ladder upwards.
