Towards a social-ecological understanding of sustainable venturing

Leveraging social-ecological systems literature and an exemplar case, the Panamanian-American venture Planting Empowerment, we introduce the notion of entrepreneurial synchronicity, emerging from an inductive approach, as a key concept for advancing sustainable entrepreneurship theory. Through an exploration of timing and rhythm of the new venture we can start to better explain and understand the degree of connection between the venture and its surrounding human and biophysical contexts.
