Enterprises face mounting challenges in three generic sustainability domains that form the basis of the so-called triple bottom line: economic sustainability, societal sustainability, and environmental sustainability. In most instances, it is the primacy of economic sustainability that is emphasized since an enterprise that is not economically secure does not survive. Despite the importance of sustainability''s economic dimension, increasing regulatory requirements taken together with societal demands are forcing enterprises to address both their impact on the natural environment and their contribution to society. Indeed, taken together these considerations form a sort ''holy trinity'' that are necessary as both singular and joint considerations for enterprises striving to be continuously relevant and responsible. Environmental impacts and societal contributions can take many forms and thus far the environmental and societal challenges facing enterprises have, when considered comprehensively, outpaced the capability of enterprises to successfully address them. Since enterprises must be economically sustainable, an enterprise excellence approach supported by various international quality award models and criteria is herein recommended.

The environment changes with the development of human activity, which directly threatens human
life because of the effects accompanying the development of polluting industries. In response to
stakeholder pressures, many companies have taken several actions to reduce the negative impacts

reflected in actions for the environment, the researchers wonder through this research about the
effectiveness of environmental policies adopted by the Tunisian industrial companies.
To evaluate the effectiveness of environmental policies in the industrial sector in Tunisia, the
researchers conducted an exploratory study with a sample of Tunisian industrial companies. Thus,
the paper was divided into three parts. The first one will discuss the theoretical concepts related to
the environmental awareness and the strategic actions witch can be taken for environmental
protection. In the second part, we will present the exploratory study conducted within a sample of
industrial firms to evaluate their environmental policies. The last part will focus on the analysis and
the interpretations of the emerging results....

For small to medium enterprises (SMEs) in Australia the ability to regularly produce new
and/or innovative products or services for the marketplace can help ensure organisational
survival. This ability to regularly produce products requires a firm to focus on both creativity
and innovation. The research reported in this paper investigates entrepreneurial perspectives
toward the creativity and innovation processes within Australian technology SMEs. Following a
grounded theory approach aligned to the interpretive paradigm this research undertook 21
interviews drawing on 23 individuals from 19 organisations. In relation to the ability to
produce new products, two main themes emerged from the interviews, firstly the role of
entrepreneurship and entrepreneurs and secondly entrepreneurial leadership practices. From
the research findings and discussion it can be ascertained that creativity, innovation and
leadership practices are the foundations on which entrepreneurs thrive. As such the paper
posits that entrepreneurial practices improve organisational creativity and innovation
capability and therefore lead to a higher probability of producing transformational outcomes....
