Theoretical assumptions of ecological entrepreneurship concept initiation and developmentToday ecological entrepreneurship investigations are at the stage of the theory emerging, the
majority of aspects and concepts are debatable, common opinions and generally recognized conceptual
ideas are not available. One of the disputable aspects is understanding the meaning and
the backgrounds of the ecological entrepreneurship initiation as well as the theoretical underpinning
used for this purpose. The objective of this article is to analyze the academic literature on the
ecological entrepreneurship to identify and generalize the applied theoretical concepts explaining
the meaning and the backgrounds of the ecological entrepreneurship initiation. The article consists
of six parts. The first part covers the principal theoretical concepts applied in the Russian and
English language literatures to define the backgrounds of the ecological entrepreneurship initiation
and development. The other four parts are devoted to more detailed consideration of the concepts
mentioned in the first part. Conclusions on the results of the analysis and the suggestions for future
investigations are described in the last part. The analysis of the ecological entrepreneurship theoretical
frameworks showed that the investigators used different theoretical concepts, such as the theory
of markets and states failures; the theory of the entrepreneurial potential; the concept of ecological
updating; the innovation theory; the concept of the sustainable development; the theory of economic
development on the basis of demands. Irrespective of the variety of the concepts applied, it can
be noted that they don’t contradict to each other and are often combined in various combinations.
It can be concluded that it is reasonable to apply the ecological entrepreneurship phenomenon of
all the above mentioned theoretical approaches and concepts in future investigations in various
combinations and to different extents.
