LIC'25 TRACKS > TRACK II- Entrepreneurship in disruptive contextsTRACK II: Entrepreneurship in disruptive contexts: Towards responsible, resilient Sustainability
This track examines how entrepreneurs navigate political, economic, climate-related, health, and technological disruptions by developing innovative business models. Contributions may focus on the following themes: 1. Sustainable Entrepreneurship can be understood as a concept (Schaltegger & Wagner, 2021), a dynamic process (York & Venkataraman, 2022), or through its roles and challenges (Cohen & Winn, 2021; Hockerts & Wüstenhagen, 2020). It is closely tied to responsible economic models (Bouchard & Bouchard, 2021; Pineau, 2022a), innovation-driven approaches (Caliandro et al., 2018; Gasse & Gagnon, 2023a), and integrated strategies (Lévesque & Bouchard, 2020a). 2. Green Entrepreneurship aims to generate positive environmental impact and reflects an evolving paradigm (Hockerts & Wüstenhagen, 2024). Research may explore its contribution to sustainability (Cohen & Winn, 2023), its relationship with success through green innovation (York & Venkataraman, 2025), and its role in ecological transition (Martin & Dupuis, 2025). 3. Social Entrepreneurship : Combining innovation with economic viability, social entrepreneurship creates social value (Bacq & Eddleston, 2020; Lévesque & Gagnon, 2023). It can be analysed through its theoretical foundations and practices (Bouchard & Bouchard, 2022), emerging challenges (Defourny & Nyssens, 2021), and research agendas (Pache & Santos, 2022; Short et al., 2020). 4. Digital Entrepreneurship : This axis explores macroeconomic implications of digital entrepreneurship (Léger & Bouchard, 2021; Pineau, 2022b), digital strategies (Nambisan, 2021; Bharadwaj et al., 2021), its role in crisis response (Kuckertz & Wagner, 2020), and entrepreneurs' digital literacy (Kamoun-Chouk, 2019). 5.Inclusive Entrepreneurship : Associated with the social and solidarity economy, inclusive entrepreneurship promotes access for under-represented groups (Pineau, 2022c). It may be studied through its challenges and opportunities (Bouchard & Lévesque, 2021; Gasse & Gagnon, 2023b), or through systemic approaches (Lévesque & Bouchard, 2020b). 6.Entrepreneurship and Resilience : This theme addresses entrepreneurs’ capacity to withstand adversity (Fischer & Reuber, 2022), resilience as a factor of success (Shepherd & Patzelt, 2023), coping strategies (Williams & Shepherd, 2020), and the impact of crises (Kuckertz & Wagner, 2021).
