Chapters are invited for an edited collection entitled Sustainable Entrepreneurship and Social Innovation. The book will build upon a framework that addresses sustainability, entrepreneurship and social innovation.The edited collection will build a comprehensive picture regarding theoretical, empirical and policy aspects related to Entrepreneurship in terms of alternative, sustainable growth.

Shepherd and Patzelt (2011) have been expanding the remit of social entrepreneurship into'sustainable' entrepreneurship, as a new interdisciplinary field, which'explore(s) the role of entrepreneurial action as a mechanism for sustaining nature and ecosystems whilst providing economic and non-economic gains for investors, entrepreneurs and societies' (p. 138). Based on this definition, the edited volume will aim to gather the state-of-the-art in terms of conceptual frameworks of analysis, empirical insights and related policy discussions. Taking on board this composite perspective, the book will highlight elements of Sustainable Entrepreneurship which will, additionally, have a societal impact as well as regional relevance. Related aspects of innovation will also be presented, and definitional issues will be further elucidated, so as to scope the relevant inter-connected fields of study.

Contributions focusing on conceptual/theoretical frameworks as well as empirical papers are welcome.
A variety of qualitative and quantitative empirical research is welcome so long as it is guided by an explicit conceptual framework. The book aims to feature a trans-disciplinary, globally relevant approach to the topic of its focus, with contributions from international scholars.

The proposed organisation of the book is as follows:
(1) Part One: A variety of theoretical approaches to framing Sustainable Entrepreneurship and Social Innovation by encompassing inter-related insights from the theories of Entrepreneurship, Strategy, Innovation, Management and Diversity (relevant approaches could include- but not be limited to : (neo)-institutional theory; strategic choice theory; stakeholder theory; natural resource based view of the firm; critical theory; organizational justice theory; transformational leadership theory; process-based approaches or resource-based approaches to entrepreneurship, theory of capitals, structuration theory, social constructionist approaches ,theories of social enterprise, theories of social innovation)

(2) Part Two: Empirical insights on Sustainable Entrepreneurship and Social Innovation: regional, country-specific or sectoral perspectives for economic growth and regional development in the global marketplace (e.g., 'green'/'blue' growth and entrepreneurship)

(3) Part Three: Policy and institutional perspectives on Sustainable Entrepreneurship and Social Innovation
