  • First Online:

Abstract

This book offers further insightful evidence regarding the emergent phenomenon that is transformational entrepreneurship. Transformational entrepreneurship is a relatively nascent concept that has emerged due to the need to achieve effective and efficient entrepreneurial behaviours that address global challenges, including unemployment, economic underperformance and societal evolution. Entrepreneurial activity continues to evolve due to technological enhancement, societal evolution and globalisation. Moreover, the nature of entrepreneurial behaviour continues to evolve with social enterprise becoming globally important to sustain and support communities and the requirement for environmentally and economically sustainable business behaviour. This chapter evaluates and concludes on the evidence presented in this textbook and offers conclusions on the opportunities and further challenges ahead.
