A Decision‐Making Model for Implementing Green Technology in Sustainable Building Projects

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Green technology (GT) adoption is pivotal for reconciling environmental stewardship with economic viability in the built environment, particularly in resource‐constrained emerging economies. However, empirical evidence on how specific GT drivers actively mitigate adoption barriers remains scarce.

Empowering Circular Startups: Unveiling the Blueprint for Circular Business Models

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Circular startups are increasingly recognized as key drivers in the transition toward a circular economy. Yet the business models (BMs) through which these startups operationalize circularity remain poorly understood, limiting the ability of entrepreneurial ecosystem actors to offer effective support.

The Use of Renewable Energy in Prominent City Buildings: A Diffusion Study on Top European Football Organizations

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The present study applied the diffusion of innovation theory to investigate the rate of diffusion of renewable energy sources used by Europe's top professional football stadiums and the relationship with carbon neutrality. A discrete diffusion model estimated the diffusion of renewable energy to saturation, and a multivariate logistic ...

Addressing the Energy Trilemma: The Role of Entrepreneurship, Regulation, and Climate Finance

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Balancing energy security, energy equity, and environmental sustainability has become increasingly challenging as economies pursue low‐carbon growth amid climate risk and persistent disparities in access to modern energy. Although entrepreneurship is widely recognized as a driver of innovation, its role in addressing the energy trilemma ...
