dc.description.abstractThe first paper of this two paper thesis proposes that changes in the natural environment are a source of information for entrepreneurial opportunity, along with the previously identified sources of technological, political/regulatory, and sociodemographic changes. The paper finds that opportunities from changes in the natural environment are exploited through mitigation, adaptation, or a combination of the two. The second paper takes an exploratory approach to study the processes, enabling and constraining factors, and motivations of disaster related entrepreneurial venturing. The findings point toward unique characteristics of disaster related venturing in general, as well as specific considerations for spontaneous venturing from disaster and venturing during a disaster. The paper proposes that disaster characteristics, disaster management culture and context, and dual logics of helping and profit shape the entrepreneurial experience of disaster related venturing.en_US
