| Abstract: | The relationship btw. ethics and entrepreneurship has mostly been characterized as antithetical. Developed is a conceptual model integrating pragmatism, a philosophical approach emphasizing experimentation and action characteristic of entrepreneurial leadership (henceforth as: e-l-ship.), with ethics in order to suggest that these two are not incompatible, and that sustaining e-l-ship for value creation necessitates ethical action to build legitimacy. Based on case studies from the United States (U.S.) and India, highlighted is the necessity of infusing pragmatism with ethics for sustainable e-l-ship. |
