Abstract

In the current world where global economic crisis is now our everyday word, a lot of social problems as well as environmental issues. We sometimes have an impression that our world is the most sustainable one imaginable. Looking at reality, the exact opposite is true. Sustainable development is now seen as a war horse in order to overcome the current situations but the barriers appear still too intricate to address the solutions permanently and solidly. As the worldwide is in the search of improving the standards of living and creating wealth, looking for change and innovation, and good quality of life, etc. we acknowledge all businesses which are participating for the environmental, societal and economic progress and hence for radical changes in a sustainable way and we discourage and ban all the enterprises which are doing unsustainable business practices. Based on documents and previous social, environmental articles and also, sustainable entrepreneurship has advanced our understanding on processes of discovery, creation, and exploitation of sustainability-oriented opportunities. This article is underlining in details all the current problems that the world is facing, and gives some solid directions and orientations to entrepreneurship for sustainable development.
