• Resumen

  • We live in a world in dire need of disruptive innovations. In The Innovative University, authors Christensen and Eyring (2011) take the idea of disruptive innovation to the field of higher education, where new online institutions and learning tools are challenging the future of traditional colleges and universities. Following to this line of thought, Christensen, Raynor and McDonald (2015) set out to clear up confusión over what disruptive innovation by arguing that disruptive innovations originate in low-end or new-market footholds. In Bandung city Indonesia, there are signs that waste bank services with an eye for disruptive trends also notice a new value chain by providing an application to help streamline waste bank management. The implementation of such an application can increase motivation and public participation in household waste management. At the same time, the trends of recycling businesses leading to the development of ecopreneurship activity continues to surge tremendously in market systems around the city of Bandung. Findings from the previous studies suggest that ecopreneurship drives an intensified interest in ecopreneurial activities in both the academic and practitioner sectors. The previous studies build on the premise that ecopreneurship is increasingly looked at as one of the answers to the establishment of new ventures which have an ecological origin and sustainable development. Seeing that the prosperity of people and society is posible with the aid of disruptive innovations and ecopreneurial activities, the author takes a comprehensive analysis of “Cihampelas Mandiri Waste Bank” in Bandung city, Indonesia. Insight emerged about their success factors, namely the enabling technology, the business model and the network, which may be customized and harmonizes in accordance with the ecopreneurship education in universities. The desired and result from this study is to create an ecopreneurship education, in which there can be an increase in disruptive innovations, ecopreneurial skills and support systems that together result in an increase in economic and social benefits.
