About the Book

The first edition of this book looked at the emergence of 'ecopreneurs' - environmental entrepreneurs gaining competitive advantage for their firms through understanding and utilising green issues. These green entrepreneurs have led the way in enabling market forces to generate economic growth whilst protecting the environment and encouraging sustainability. This new edition continues the examination of what distinguishes these green entrepreneurs from others. It draws on a diverse range of case studies embracing examples of both successful and unsuccessful ecopreneurial ventures on at least four continents. Contributions have been updated and a number of entirely new chapters describe sustainable business projects in places ranging from the USA , India, western Europe, UK, Australia, central America and New Zealand. Making Ecopreneurs, second edition, charts recent developments and remains highly relevant to researchers in the fields of sustainable business development and entrepreneurship, to policymakers within governments and NGOs, and to those running businesses.

Review :
'...must reading for researchers, educators, students, policy makers, and practitioners. Global in scope, it has the ability to speak directly to you about the world of sustainability, entrepreneurship, and business across timeless text and compelling cases. Professor Schaper has assembled an outstanding array of chapter authors writing on topics that are both timely and informative. Whether you read it cover to cover or jump around from chapter to chapter, my bet is you will want to read more.' Charles H. Matthews, University of Cincinnati, Past President, ICSB Reviews from the first edition: '...the diverse chapters and case studies in this book provide compelling insights on the nature of the challenges involved in entrepreneurship in the context of both developed and emerging countries. covering such issues as types of ecopreneurs, green market opportunity identification, consumer education, venture capital and ecotourism, with actual case experiences, the book makes a valuable contribution to a critical , yet under-researched facet of sustainability' Professor Edwin R. Stafford, Utah State University, USA '...Schaper's book is a necessary addition to any library focusing on environment, entrepreneurship, or ethics in the international arena' Business Information Alert
