Can ecological entrepreneurship address ecological anxieties?

Open Access

Abstract

Abstract: This study calls into question the effectiveness of Ecological Entrepreneurship (EE) as a solution to abuses on the natural world in the absence of political will power and appropriate governance and visionary clarity at the macro-level of society. This article uses a range of literature on EE to discuss the limitations and ideological underpinnings of EE. Findings support that EE is rooted in mainstream science and technology and, therefore, offers predominantly market-based solutions. The study critically examines the limitations of EE as a concept as well as practice.
