This collection of empirical papers focuses on entrepreneurial leadership and sustainability practices in Nigeria. The focus stems from the conventional wisdom that entrepreneurs have a strong influence on sustainable and economic development processes in the environments in which they operate. Of particular importance therefore is the position and role of Nigerian entrepreneurs in the economic development of their nation and the identification of any gendered-based approach to the entrepreneurial process. The entrepreneur is intricately linked to the entrepreneurial practice and the consequent growth and survival of the enterprise. Consequently, the entrepreneur is the single most important element who carries responsibility for running and directing the business and ensuring its day-to-day functionality. A common dominant thread is therefore woven through the various characteristics associated with firm growth and the human factor of the entrepreneur. In addition, this handbook explores the shift in recent times from a compromise often between expenses and economic growth to a more nuanced perspective which views sustainability practices as being integral to business growth and competitive advantage and the importance of promoting sustainable innovative practices as part of a firms' core business model.
