“…The development of social entrepreneurship is mainly based upon the development of sustainable business models. According to Abereijo (2016), social entrepreneurs aim to design and develop a business in a way which would not only bring profit to the organization but also be beneficial for society. This might imply that the development of social entrepreneurship is not only based upon profitability but also sustainable business practices and models.…”

“…On the other hand, sustainable business models are also important for competitive advantage for businesses. In order to fully benefit society, a social enterprise must survive and remain profitable, which is only possible when it is operating on a sustainable business model (Abereijo 2016). Within this context, Scaffa and Reitz (2013) recommended that social entrepreneurs must develop effective business strategies to ensure that social business remains competitive and survive within a commercial context.…”

The main aim of the research was intended in assessing the role of the Indonesian government towards the promotion of social entrepreneurship in the country. The research was focused on addressing the level of awareness about the concept of social enterprise and what it means in Indonesia, especially among young students. For achieving this aim, a survey was conducted among students in Jakarta, Indonesia. The survey reflected the assessment of government role in the promotion of social entrepreneurship in Indonesia. The results noted that when it came to social entrepreneurship, it is the government that acts as a vital role in communication what a social enterprise is and its role to the members of the society. From the regression analysis, it was identified that there is a significant relationship between the promotion of social entrepreneurship and the role of the Indonesian government. However, the study also identifies that while the promotion of social enterprise is essential, the role of innovation and its link to the building resilient social enterprises needs more attention.

“…To extend entrepreneurship research through an examination of sustainability, Juma et al (2017) conducted a study in the context of a comparison of two case studies, which resulted in the proposal of fluid and integrative multi-systems model of collaboration with various stakeholders (e.g., private and public sector, and NGOs etc.). Thompson and Scott (2010) and Abereijo (2016) also analyzed the perspective of environmental entrepreneurship and sustainable development of the global entrepreneurship using different tools of analysis, and found that global entrepreneurship is developing in an unstable way. Practical solutions are offered to resolve this issue in the study of Morozova et al (2019).…”

The aim of this study is to evaluate the entrepreneurial environment of selected countries, and analyze and rank them on the basis of entrepreneurship related indicators. This study’s design comprises a review of the literature, extraction of secondary data on the phenomenon, and analysis. The research gap has been established through a review of the literature, leading toward the development of problem statement. The cross-sectional data, related to entrepreneurship indicators, is extracted from website of World Development Indicators (2021) for 48 selected countries. Using positivism as a research philosophy and deduction as a research approach, the data are analyzed through grey relational analysis (GRA). On the basis of grey relational grades, this study also classified the countries on the continuum of “much better” to “worse.” The results of the study show that the United States, United Kingdom, Japan, Australia, Hong Kong, France and Canada attained the highest grey relational grades and are considered the countries having much better entrepreneurial environment; whereas Poland, Kuwait, Namibia and so on attained the lowest grey relational grades and are considered the countries having worst entrepreneurial environment. This research has several practical implications for different economies/countries, entrepreneurial ventures, aspiring entrepreneurial, and researchers. On the basis of findings of this study, policy makers should refine country-level entrepreneurial policies while keeping in view the respective grey relational grades.

The article summarizes the arguments and counterarguments in the scientific discussion on the development of sustainable entrepreneurship. The main purpose of the study is to identify the essential characteristics and key determinants of success of sustainable entrepreneurship initiatives. Systematization of literature sources showed that the current stage of entrepreneurship is characterized by the transition from the concept of maximizing profitability to the formation of long-term sustainability. Existing theoretical and empirical research shows that sustainable entrepreneurship is an activity aimed at balancing economic, social and environmental challenges. The theoretical analysis of the results of basic research on sustainable entrepreneurship has identified a list of key internal and external determinants that contribute to the development of sustainable entrepreneurship. It is determined that the key internal characteristics of the entrepreneur are the level of his motivation and qualification. At the same time, among external factors, the education system, the availability of state environmental and social policy measures, as well as public perception and support of social and environmental initiatives play a significant role in promoting sustainable entrepreneurship. It is established that the existing empirical research revealed the differentiation of results for companies of different sizes and at different stages of operation, as well as depending on the form of ownership and sector of activity. The results of the analysis provide a scientific basis for further research on the key determinants of the effectiveness of sustainable entrepreneurship initiatives, the identification of the most promising sectors for social and environmental initiatives, and the study of links with social, environmental and economic parameters.
