Approaching the role of innovation, education and multiplicity of context in sustainable and female entrepreneurship

Abstract

Objective: This study provides detailed analyses of the theory of female entrepreneurship and the theory of sustainable entrepreneurship. These analyses focus on the concepts both separately and in conjunction. The study aims to uncover the linkages and the principal factors between the two terms such as innovation and education. Methodology: First, a literature review is provided. Then, we conduct a descriptive and co-occurrence analysis of the intersection between female and sustainable entrepreneurship concepts. Results: Our research sheds light on the link between women entrepreneurship and sustainable entrepreneurship and identifies the key constructs that influence this correlation. Innovation and education are outlined as crucial terms. Finally, the study confirms the relationship between female entrepreneurship and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Limitations: While our study highlights crucial elements, it does not provide visibility to all possible relevant factors affecting female and sustainable entrepreneurship.Practical implications: Implications for fostering development for female and sustainable entrepreneurship are presented. The study also shows the importance of measuring the impact of women entrepreneurs’ sustainable spirit on SDGs 4, 5 and 8.
