| Abstract: | In this paper the phenomenon of ecopreneurship is examined from two different sides. The practical side is that the author has over ten years of personal experience in the creation and management of environmentally oriented business ventures in Finland. The second side is academic. The author argues that most of the normal entrepreneurial laws are valid also for environmental ventures. However, the value-based leadership often rightly associated with environmental entrepreneurs gives a special flavor to these businesses. With hands-on practical experience and an insightful theoretical orientation, the author analyses typical environmental business features and its main segments and presents a typology of ecopreneurs. The paper provides a substantial list of references on this subject. |
