Impacts of Entrepreneurial Innovation in Economic, Social, and Environmental Sustainability (Paperback)

Entrepreneurial innovation shapes sustainable development by driving progress across economic, social, and environmental sectors. Through the creation of new products, services, and business models, entrepreneurs stimulate economic growth, enhance productivity, and create employment opportunities. Innovation addresses social challenges by improving access to essential resources like healthcare, education, and financial services, fostering better equity and inclusion. In the environmental sector, entrepreneurship encourages the development of sustainable technologies and practices that reduce waste, conserve natural resources, and mitigate climate change. Together, these impacts demonstrate how entrepreneurial innovation may build resilient and sustainable societies. Impacts of Entrepreneurial Innovation in Economic, Social, and Environmental Sustainability explores how entrepreneurial initiatives and innovative approaches drive sustainability across economic, social, and environmental dimensions. It examines green technologies, sustainable business models, social entrepreneurship, and policy interventions that foster innovation for long-term ecological balance and social equity. This book covers topics such as sociology, sustainable development, and data science, and is a useful resource for business owners, sociologists, engineers, academicians, researchers, and scientists.
