Mapping the Role of Corporate Entrepreneurship in Realizing Sustainable Business Based on SDGs

Introduction

Mapping the role of corporate entrepreneurship in realizing sustainable business based on sdgs. Explore corporate entrepreneurship's role in realizing sustainable business based on SDGs. Uncover strategies for innovation, stakeholder alignment, and overcoming challenges.

Abstract

This study explores the role of corporate entrepreneurship in fostering sustainable business practices aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through a qualitative analysis of five informants. Findings highlight that corporate entrepreneurship drives innovation, identifies sustainability opportunities, and supports risk-taking for long-term gains. However, challenges such as balancing profitability with sustainability, stakeholder misalignment, and resource constraints persist. The study emphasizes strategic approaches, including integrating sustainability into organizational visions, fostering cross-departmental collaboration, and engaging stakeholders to overcome these challenges. The findings contribute to the understanding of corporate entrepreneurship as a lever for achieving SDGs and provide actionable insights for practitioners and policymakers.

Review

This study addresses a highly relevant and timely topic by exploring the critical role of corporate entrepreneurship in realizing sustainable business practices aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The abstract clearly outlines the study's objective to map this relationship through qualitative analysis, offering an initial understanding of how internal entrepreneurial efforts can drive sustainability agendas within organizations. The overall impression is that the research attempts to bridge two important contemporary business concepts, providing a focused look at their intersection. The research identifies several valuable contributions. It highlights that corporate entrepreneurship serves as a crucial driver for innovation, identifies key sustainability opportunities, and fosters risk-taking essential for long-term gains in the context of SDGs. Crucially, the study does not shy away from the practical difficulties, acknowledging persistent challenges such as balancing profitability with sustainability, managing stakeholder misalignment, and overcoming resource constraints. The proposed strategic approaches—integrating sustainability into organizational visions, fostering cross-departmental collaboration, and engaging stakeholders—offer practical, actionable insights for both practitioners and policymakers seeking to leverage corporate entrepreneurship for SDG achievement. While providing a useful initial mapping, the study's reliance on a qualitative analysis of only five informants presents a significant limitation regarding the generalizability of its findings. The abstract, by its nature, offers a high-level overview, and a deeper understanding would benefit from more detailed insights into the *specific nature* of the innovation driven, the types of sustainability opportunities identified, or the *mechanisms* through which corporate entrepreneurship supports risk-taking. Future research could expand the sample size, explore sector-specific nuances, or delve into quantitative measures to further validate and generalize the relationships identified, thereby strengthening the evidence base for the strategic approaches proposed.
