“…In this sense, the study of business strategic orientations is seen as a new research opportunity to make progress towards achieving the sustainable development of companies [8]. Specifically, the configuration of strategic orientation towards sustainable entrepreneurship is insufficiently studied in the literature, as well as its relationship with other business variables [9,10]. The present study seeks to shed some light in this regard by studying the relationship between the strategic orientation to sustainable entrepreneurship and business outcomes, and the effect of internal moderating variables that may affect this relationship.…”

Literature points out that the effect of sustainable entrepreneurship on firm performance may be contingent on internal factors, such as top manager characteristics. This paper proposes that the gender of a firm’s chief executive officer (CEO) greatly influences the sustainable entrepreneurial orientation (SEO)-firm performance relationship. An empirical study was conducted on a stratified random sampling, collecting 210 questionnaires from top managers of firms in Valencia (Spain). A multigroup moderation analysis method was used. The results confirm that women tend to increase the positive effect of SEO in firm performance.

“…Thus, younger managers, as compared to older ones, will be better able to identify new opportunities in the market through which they can protect the planet and the people. This is also supported by Holtbrügge & Oberhauser [61] who advocated that the generation in which individuals grow impacts their values and social understandings. Hence, they supported that younger generations are more concerned about environmental and social problems.…”

“…Therefore, using a multiple strategic orientation view can be more useful. Following this justification, considering SEO as a multiple strategic orientation approach and as a dynamic capability, its link with performance was established [54,61]. In conjunction, it was proposed that SEO significantly impacts financial performance.…”

Scholars have investigated the direct linkage between manager's age and sustainable corporate performance, however, the mixed results and conflicting findings on the nature of the relationship demand further explanation through the missing constructs. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to examine the mediating role of sustainable entrepreneurial orientation in the manager's age and sustainable performance. This study develops a conceptual link by using a dynamic capabilities approach and upper echelon perspective, indicating that younger managers can adopt a more holistic approach towards sustainable practices which can enhance the environmental, social and economic performance of firms. This implies that the relationship between manager's age and sustainable performance can be explained through sustainable entrepreneurial orientation (SEO) which can play a key role in setting organizational direction towards sustainable development and achieving sustainable business performance. This study contributes to the literature by examining the role of SEO in the relationship between the manager's age and sustainable performance. This research will help practitioners recognize the importance of minimizing environmental and social problems generating due to organizational production activities. This will lead to profit generation as well as value creation for nature and the local community.

This paper explores which are the drivers and their interactions that can lead organizations to adopt radical sustainable innovation (SI) in unfavorable contexts. We identify external and internal drivers of SI adoption, and we conceptualize sustainable intrapreneurship as an additional driver. We report and discuss the findings from a case study in the water sector based on interviews and secondary data collected among eleven water utilities in Israel, Italy, and Spain. We provide new insights on how interactions between external and internal drivers can generate dynamic cycles that gradually shift utilities from a reactive to an embedding and system change approach in adopting SI. Within this process, networks and sustainable intrapreneurship act as interactive drivers that catalyze internal and external drivers.The study links testable propositions in a conceptual model describing the dynamics triggering SI adoption and argues for the relevance of sustainable intrapreneurship for addressing the systemic nature, complexity, and ambiguity of SI adoption.
