The Decolonized Quadruple Bottom Line: A Framework for Developing Indigenous Innovation

Fonda Walters, John Takamura · 2015 · Wicazo Sa Review

Summary. This paper proposes a decolonized quadruple bottom line framework for indigenous innovation and entrepreneurship. Rather than the standard triple bottom line (people, planet, profit), the authors add spirituality and culture as essential factors. The framework combines community, spirituality, sustainability, and entrepreneurship to create indigenous innovation that supports sustainable economic development for American Indian nations and communities.
