Agribusiness is central to human life, and eco-innovation is the key driving force behind economic and ecological growth. However, in developing countries, setting economic and environmental goals remains challenging for entrepreneurs. This article focuses on the perceived role of entrepreneurial opportunity identification (EOI) factors on eco-innovation in Tunisian agribusiness. A combination of external and sustainable factors was used to create an integrated model to assess the potential of EOI for stimulating eco-innovation and sustainable development. Structural equation modelling was used to explore the positive effect of these factors and investigate the mediating role of entrepreneurial alertness. The findings confirm (a) the positive influence of EOI factors on eco-innovation, which serves as an innovative way for entrepreneurs to gain profits; (b) entrepreneurial alertness constitutes the most important factor for adopting eco-innovation; (c) entrepreneurial alertness plays a mediating role between (1) prior knowledge and (2) social networks and eco-innovation.

“…For example, Ardichvili and Cardozo (2003) [21] emphasize the significance of personality traits, social networks, and prior knowledge in predicting entrepreneurial alertness. Some scholars also recognize the importance of self-efficacy, entrepreneurial passion, technical ability, and market knowledge acquisition in determining an entrepreneur's alertness schema [22,23]. Others provide additional explanation by arguing the importance of a firm's path dependence [24] and external environmental complexity [25].…”

This paper extends the conventional wisdom of social networks and entrepreneurship by clarifying the relationship between network diversity and venture growth as well as by studying the mediation effect of entrepreneurial alertness on network diversity. It highlights the importance of diverse networks for providing heterogeneous information and resources, which is the antecedent of entrepreneurial alertness. In this paper, Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) data from 44 countries are used in our analysis, considering the country’s impact. Overall, we concluded that network diversity can significantly predict entrepreneurial alertness, and a venture’s growth. Furthermore, an entrepreneur’s educational level and entrepreneurial experience have positive moderating effects on the relationship between network diversity and entrepreneurial alertness.

Alertness is a foundational concept in current understandings of the spotting and exploitation of entrepreneurial opportunities. In this paper its two broad aspects from psychology have been explored and a model has been generated; reflecting the hierarchical relation between alertness aspects and mindfulness factors. Results show that mindfulness mediates the relationship between alertness and novelty creation. We use Interpretive Structure Modeling (ISM) to create the model of entrepreneurial alertness and mindfulness. The model is generated on the basis of ten technological entrepreneurs in the ISM session in Iran. They voted on the mutual relations of the elements. The results showed that mindfulness fosters alertness, which then leads to the creation of novel things. This also shows that mindfulness deserves more investigation for its potential role in other parts of entrepreneurial process.
