“…In one of very few empirical studies of sustainable entrepreneurship and opportunity identification, a study of the PVC industry of Romania analyzed the factors that positively influence on sustainable opportunity recognition, and found that there are knowledge-related factors, including natural/communal environment, sustainable development, market-oriented, and entrepreneurship; and motivation-related factors, including perception of threats to the natural/communal environment, altruism toward others, and success. They also found that social embeddedness is a moderator [66].…”

The aim of this paper is to investigate the mediating effect of opportunity confidence (OC) on the relationship between social norms (SNs) and decision to engage in entrepreneurial action (EA). The sample size includes prospective entrepreneurs engaged in the field of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in science and technology parks in Iran. This research uses the longitudinal survey method. Research findings from the structural equation modeling (SEM) do not confirm the mediating role of OC. However, SNs have a significant positive effect on OC, which increases the likelihood of entrepreneurial action. The paper ends with a discussion of results and practical implications.

“…The respondents of the study recognized, and developed opportunities based on their salient role identities that are related to prior entrepreneurial work and personal life experiences. Knowledge and competences in particular domains are key in opportunity recognition and development and salient roles are associated with knowledge and competences of specific domains [36,95]. As highlighted earlier, social and role identities influenced scaling up of opportunities, with some respondents assuming roles that they considered key in achieving their goals.…”

“…Individuals with salient communitarian and missionary social identities and deeply entrenched developer role identity similarly attend to changes in the local natural and communal environment to come up with a business idea aimed at solving identified environmental and or social problems [95]. The idea might not necessarily lead to totally new products or services, but could lead to adaptation of already existing products, services, or practices to a completely new context.…”

Entrepreneurial behavior research has widened its scope to focus on founders who engage in creating enterprises for both their economic self-interest and their concern for others. Yet, there is a lack of an empirically grounded understanding of the sustainable enterprise creation behavior of entrepreneurs at the bottom of the pyramid. This study contributes to sustainable entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial behavior literature streams by applying founder identity theoretical perspectives to explore and understand bottom of the pyramid entrepreneurs’ self-perceived identities in the creation of sustainable enterprises. The study applies a multiple case study design with qualitative data collected through field observations and in-depth interviews with enterprise founders and stakeholders. The data were complemented with secondary materials such as websites, founder blogs, online videos, news articles, and other media coverage. The data were analyzed in stages through thematic analysis. Findings show that sustainable entrepreneurs at the bottom of the pyramid possess multiple frames of reference, basic social motivations and adopt either single or multiple role identities, which influence their behavior during the process of creating their enterprises. Moreover, the analysis reveals that Fauchart and Gruber’s social identity typologies and the role identities of Cardon et al. can be applied to entrepreneurs at the bottom of the pyramid to understand their identity profiles and illuminate on how these identities result in observed behavioral differences during the process of creating their enterprises.

In addition to social entrepreneurship, the second batch of papers in this cluster focus on sustainable opportunity recognition, sustainable development and macroeconomic development (Ploum et al, 2018;Filser et al, 2019;Ceptureanu et al, 2017;Belz and Binder, 2017). In total, it can be stated that…”

PurposeEntrepreneurship is the driving force of countries for sustainable economic development. The importance of this issue is to the extent that in recent years, countries have made great efforts to develop their entrepreneurial ecosystem. But the starting point for entrepreneurship is when an opportunity is identified and the entrepreneur rises to use it. Accordingly, opportunity recognition will be the foundation of entrepreneurship and ultimately sustainable development. Given the importance of this topic, this paper attempts to provide a large picture of the studies conducted in this field.Design/methodology/approachGiven the importance of this topic, this paper attempts to provide a large picture of the studies conducted in this field by reviewing 868 articles published on the Web of Science database in the field of opportunity recognition. Accordingly, using statistical descriptions of articles, analyzing the communication network among elements such as authors, countries, institutions, keyword analysis in articles and examining their trends over time, identifying the most important articles using co-citation analysis and finally this macroimage has been mapped, clustered and identified in leading articles in the last decade by co-citation clustering.FindingsThe results of the clustering show that the five main clusters of recent decades have included entrepreneurial characteristics and opportunity recognition, macroeconomic opportunity recognition cluster (community and impact on economic development of the country), opportunity recognition process cluster, opportunity recognition cluster in serial and intra-entrepreneurship and opportunity recognition cluster in new venture internationalization.Originality/valueUsing a bibliometric analysis and co-citation analysis in the field of opportunity recognition and making a big picture of studies in this field of study is a contribution that can be used for future studies and researchers and managers in this field.
