A MODEL PROPOSAL FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Abstract: This study aims to conceptualize the linkages between sustainable development and entrepreneurship. It assesses the relationship between sustainment and entrepreneurship, between development and entrepreneurship and finally between sustainable development and entrepreneurship with a systematic approach.
The Sustainment, Development and Entrepreneurship (SDE) Model proposed in this article lays the foundations for explaining how sustainment, development and entrepreneurship are related. Predate studies focused on the relationship between sustainment and development, which presented the notion of sustainable development.
The proposed SDE Model introduces a 3 dimensional Cartesian coordinate system to localize or express any particular enterprise with respect to certain criteria and summarize its status. The model is a useful tool for the assessment of entrepreneurial activities both from the perspectives of sustainable development and motivations of entrepreneurship.
Keywords: Sustainable Development, Entrepreneurship, Entrepreneurial Sustainable Development
