The objective of this chapter is to analyze the functioning of an integral model of entrepreneurship in green innovation business (GIB) that is currently emerging and in the process of internationalization. Therefore, this work aims to study the central perspectives of technology that are based on the phenomenon of entrepreneurship and thus develop a strategy that adapts to companies with an ecological basis to achieve internationalization. This chapter analyzes a particular company that specializes in ecological biomineral organic fertilizer, where no chemical product is used to produce the composition; everything that is marketed is made up of a base of organic minerals and other organic compounds.

A Comprenhensive Entrepreneurship Model Of Green Business Innovation (Gbi)

Entrepreneurship, inclusiveness, civil and culture are variables that have complex but straightforward linkages and processes among them and much is still unknown. The last few years have witnessed the generation of extensive theoretical and empirical literature on entrepreneurship and its impact at the levels of regional and firm economic performance (Holmes and Schmitz, 1990; Evans and Leighton, 1989). However, when linking entrepreneurship to the variables of inclusiveness and civil culture, the literatures is inexistent. There is a relative void, despite some recent efforts to study the relationship between entrepreneurship in some other related fields beyond economic growth, which may be attributable to the lack of theoretical frameworks.

However, some studies conducted in economic development have shown reversed causality influencing entrepreneurial activities (Ortega-Anderezand, and Lai, 2017). Entrepreneurial activities tend to be overestimated in regions where there are start-ups playing a relevant role while entrepreneurship activities tend to be underestimated in regions where there is a new entrepreneurial formation and the startups are relatively few (Baptista, Escária, and Madruga, 2017).

The role of entrepreneurship in economic development has received attention from researchers showing the impact of entrepreneurship on employment and social development. Entrepreneurial intentions promote entrepreneurial behaviors (Krueger et al., 2000; Veciana et al., 2005; Souitaris et al., 2007). Entrepreneurship activity can be associated with human necessity providing an opportunity to earn money for living, until better alternative opportunities are found on the labor market (Carree and Thurik, 2010).
