“…In some studies, the green business is mentioned as a sustainable business as both terms consider the environmental issues besides financial benefits (Geissdoerfer, Vladimirova, & Evans, 2018;Joyce & Paquin, 2016;Painter, Hibbert, & Cooper, 2018).…”

Academic and business interest in sustainability and green practice has grown up considerably in recent years. Entrepreneurial orientation and market orientation are the two most researched issues in the SME sector. Instead, the business has proven a direct and indirect effect on our mother nature, which is not in favour of the environment. Even the SME sector and environmental issues are very closely related to upcoming challenges and opportunities for Bangladesh. So depending on previous studies, this paper presented a way of the better environmental performance of the SME sector that is positively influenced by green entrepreneurial orientation. Side of that, this paper also focused on the mediating effect of green market orientation. The main purpose of this paper can divide into two categories. One is a details literature view on the topics, and another is a conceptual framework for this research field.

The study also covers the significant outlines and reviews in this field. Further, it explores specific features of green practices in SME as well as limitations of present research; but it helps to stimulate further study.

“…Specifically, this study adopts as its point of departure scholarly contributions that focus on sustainable business models (SBMs) and reflects on the possible inclusion of relevant ethical and spiritual considerations in such models. In particular, it develops a new approach to sustainability management inspired by some of the main tenets of ecofeminism and Buddhism and by the framework elaborated by Bocken et al [4] that, when compared with the various SBMs described in management literature, is found to include several relevant ethical reflections [5].…”

“…As observed by Painter et al [5], very few scholars have attempted to elaborate SBMs including the ethical aspect inherent to sustainability. Among these, Bocken et al [4] propose a relatively comprehensive framework that includes several ethical aspects of commercial activity, such as the adoption of greener production systems, fair business relations within and across organisations and a shift of production and consumption towards more just and frugal practices.…”

This conceptual paper argues for the explicit inclusion of the inherent ethical and spiritual dimensions of sustainability in approaches to business models. The main characteristics of literature on sustainable business models are reviewed. Based on some of the main tenets of ecofeminism and Buddhism, it is observed that some important aspects of sustainability's ethical and spiritual dimensions in the business context are not mentioned or are relegated to a marginal role in the existent literature. To fill this gap, I propose and illustrate a new approach to the creation of sustainable business models, partly inspired by an existent framework that includes some ethics-related elements. This new approach promotes a contextual and relational view of businesses and the cyclical development of the value-related processes underlying business logic. The salient elements of the new model are the multifaceted meanings of value for stakeholders in the specific contexts in which businesses operate, care for and assume responsibility for their various stakeholders. These include the natural environment and the production and consumption mechanisms that aim to satisfy basic needs and promote eudaimonic well-being for consumers and employees.

“…As various business challenges require robust solutions, critics have indicated that conventional approaches are restricted and advocate the creation and deployment of new outlines regarding sustainable business accomplishments (Jaeger et al , 2011; Painter et al , 2018). At this point, transdisciplinarity can be understood as an approach that integrates various scientific and extra-scientific insights to contribute to the advancement of society and science (Jahn et al , 2012).…”

Hence, this study aims to serve deeper understanding about a strategic innovation focused sustainable growth model on basis of multidisciplinary QBL-QHIM theoretical perspectives where strategic innovation practices intervene in between desired growth and government support (regulations).Design/methodology/approachThis conceptual investigation embraces a newly emerged concern of sustainable business growth in SMEs, considering ranges of literature reviews from the disciplines of management and entrepreneurship. The study also systematically explores the concepts of regulations, strategic innovation practices on basis of QBL and QHIM theories to adjust the sustainable business growth model from a holistic angle.FindingsThe outcomes show that multidisciplinary QBL-QHIM conjunction within the interrelationships of the selected constructs holds the potential for innovation focused business growth in a more sustainable, comprehensive and holistic manner. The study also detects that exploitative-explorative innovation practices can possibly mediate in between suitable regulations and sustainable business growth of SMEs, considering supportive external environment.Research limitations/implicationsResearches are encouraged to test the proposed model.Practical implicationsThe study indicates a conceptual configuration for policy makers as well as entrepreneurs to ensure sustainable business growth for SMEs. The outcomes of the study also provide useful direction on decision-making process of owner or manager considering social, economic, environmental and spiritual aspects of daily operations.Social implicationsThe conceptual model may possibly able to generate more social values, considering a holistic angle into business activities.Originality/valueThe conceptualization is a unique attempt, considering developing regions to extend the current understanding of strategic innovation focused sustainable growth process of SMEs from a holistic angle.
