The field of sanitation has been extensively discussed in the literature from varied viewpoints. However, a comprehensive approach summarising the entrepreneurial facets of the sanitation industry is still fragmented. This study examines 375 papers published over 25 years. It attempts to identify significant studies and concepts that researchers have developed across time. A review of the literature on sanitation and its entrepreneurial ecosystem has been undertaken in the study. It incorporates bibliometric as well as content analysis. The bibliometric approach focuses on the quantitative aspects of the study, while content analysis looks at the literature qualitatively. Data analysis has been performed using the Scopus database. Further, VOSviewer software has been used to create various network maps. The highest number of papers were published in 2021, signifying growing research interest in the domain. Environmental Monitoring and Assessment is the journal of highest influence, and the most cited paper is about “Marketing to the Base of the Pyramid (BoP) Market.”

et al. 2022

Sustainability-oriented innovation (SOI) is a subset of innovation that focuses on not just maximizing profits but also on minimizing negative consequences for the environment and society. Despite the fact that the study of SOI has grown rapidly in recent years, little is known about how SOI takes place in social enterprises (SEs). The aim of this study is to understand SOI in SEs with two research questions focusing on the current state of the research and the identification of emergent themes and subthemes regarding SOI practices in SEs. The method used was a systematic review of the scholarly literature guided by the PRISMA protocol. The systematic search and filtering process resulted in 27 studies, which were filtered out of a total of 100 studies. The study’s findings show that process/organizational innovation, such as business model transformation and stakeholder management to increase SEs’ societal impact, is widely practiced in SEs. Unlike SOI in commercial organizations, which is dominant in the subcategory of SOI of environmental innovation, SOI in SEs is more prevalent in social innovation. Several challenges faced by SEs in developing SOIs were also revealed, including a lack of long-term funding, low entry barriers for potential competitors, and inefficiencies. A number of potential future directions were also discussed.
