“…133 -138). Also the area called 'Natural environment and ecology' is directly related to the idea of a sustainable enterprise which implements the concept of the triple bottom line (Elkington, 1997;Parrish, 2007), referring to the balance between the economy, the environment and the society. In its strategy, a sustainable enterprise seeks to keep the balance among economic, ecological and social dimensions of the economic activity, achieving economic objectives which are ecologically accepted and socially expected.…”

Purpose: The aim of the paper is to identify the key research topics and to contribute to mapping the research on the concepts of a sustainable enterprise and a sustainable organisation. Design/methodology/approach: Keywords analysis, considered as an element of research profiling methodology, is used to achieve the aim of the study. The research sample comprises bibliometric data retrieved from the Scopus database. Findings: The publications included in both research samples (i.e. these studying of sustainable enterprises and those related to sustainable organisations) focus their primary attention on the issues related to sustainability and CSR. Nevertheless, some interesting differences have been observed. Sustainable enterprise studies are found to be more oriented to strategic management perspective as well as natural environment and ecology. On the other hand sustainable organisation research shows more tendency to deal with the issues of organisational learning and innovation as well as relationships with external stakeholders. Research and practical limitations/implications: The study is an element of the wider research project aimed at mapping the research on the concepts of a sustainable enterprise and a sustainable organisation. As such it triangulates with other papers

“…Such enterprises are built on a different organizing logic than conventional businesses, focusing their resources and "whole enterprise design" on sustainable development [15] and shifting business philosophy to new form of capitalist ideology that can directly address issues of climate change and other environmental impacts [16]. According to Parrish and Tilley [17], sustainability enterprises simply link our knowledge of entrepreneurship to our knowledge of sustainable development.…”

Abstract:The objective of this research was to explore, both theoretically and empirically, the ecological impacts of small-scale entrepreneurial ventures in developing countries. To this end, six microenterprises in rural southwestern Bangladesh established using green-microcredit strategies were evaluated in terms of goals, operational procedures, economic viability, social contributions, and impact on local ecological sustainability. This research revealed that the majority of such enterprises are not only sustainable and comply with current ecological standards, but also contribute a considerable number of vital ecosystem services while simultaneously maintaining suitably high profit margins to promise long-term economic viability. These findings indicate that microenterprises given environmental guidance by developmental non-governmental organizations (NGOs)-especially NGOs microfinance institutions, NGO-MFIs-have the potential to make significant ecological contributions and address the issue of climate change from the bottom of the social ladder upwards.

“…The authors of the article analysing firm's external and sector influences CSR promotion base on Parrish (2007) arguing that an open system enterprise seeks resources from its environment to ensure its own survival and runs the risk of destabilizing the larger systems of which it is a part. Enterprises are influenced by variety of factors such as available technology, political leaderships, the state of the economy, industry standards and arguments and etc.…”

“…This transformational development or so called post modern vision of progress resulted in growing recognition of the sustainable development issues. This means that sustainable development provides a vision that ellipses modernity's concept of progress by redefining the intellectual and ethic challenges (Parrish 2007). Despite the fact that the construct is fundamentally infused with multiple and complex interdependences modern science it closely relates to the birth of social responsibility initiatives the have become a synonym for "corporate social responsibility" (CSR).…”

Abstract. The paper highlights theoretical construct of the new methodological approach presenting the interaction between the corporate social responsibility and the performance of the sustainable enterprise, through the introduction of the methodological framework of the diagnosis of corporate social responsibility motivations at the level of a firm seeking to sustain. Acting without knowing all (or at least enough) the answers may mean that we purposely shift our focus to those areas where possible solutions do not emerge. However, entrepreneurship as a phenomenon entailing risk and high levels in daily activities is an engine by profit-seeking motives. It shows the complexity of the scientific research object that brings meaningful input into the analysis of the promotion of socially responsible business. This paper aims at discussing and presenting critical reviews of enterprise's commitment to corporate social responsibility with emphasis on methodological positions in its promotion. This implicates a shift from the pure stakeholder perspective of maximizing profits thought introduction of enterprise -level interventions in promoting socially responsible business.
