Exploring a framework for solidarity entrepreneurship in the context of the confluence of the fourth industrial revolution, covid-19, and climate change
Introduction: Since the beginning of the last decade, the number and scope of studies on the impact of the Fourth Industrial Revolution have intensified, particularly in Artificial Intelligence, Automation, Robotics, and other related disciplines regarding the future of work. These studies discuss relevant changes in the employment and entrepreneurship ecosystem with significant socioeconomic and cultural implications. As a result of the global pandemic of COVID-19, it is essential to review the transformations that will further affect that ecosystem.
Objective: This article aims to identify the implications of the confluence of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, COVID-19, and Climate Change in terms of the challenges and opportunities faced by entrepreneurs during this remarkable global metamorphosis.
Methodology: In our exploration, we use a complexity science perspective to offer a framework for the management of Solidarity Entrepreneurship.
Results: We developed a framework to identify the elements that, under the new global context, must be considered to provide alternative perspectives of entrepreneurship oriented to preventing or mitigating the effects caused by the confluence described above.
Conclusions: Our proposal recommends an entrepreneur’s skill set that considers the ethical, moral, regulatory, and other innovation and cognitive concerns to optimize entrepreneurial ventures focused on the requirements of the pressing global scenario in progress.
