Thinking about sustainability when discovering, creating and seizing entrepreneurial opportunities and being prepared to act as a sustainable entrepreneur become more and more important in a globalised world. In this edited book, Adam Lindgreen and his colleagues address a number of key issues in relation to sustainable entrepreneurship, identifyng, for example, the intentions and motivations behind sustainable entrepreneursip, or examining the role of entrepreneurial action in fostering and enacting sustainability. For the editors and authors of the book, sustainable entrepreneurship is mainly a matter of education, training and leadership and they pave the way to show how to develop sustainable entrepreneurial action. I heartily recommend this book to both academics and practitioners." - Distinguished prof.
