Recurring technological transformations challenge the adaptability of entrepreneurs and organizations, especially in contexts marked by disruption. The literature indicates that established companies tend to face difficulties in incorporating disruptive innovations without compromising their consolidated business models, a phenomenon described as the innovator's dilemma. Studies show that entrepreneurial behavior can be decisive in overcoming these impasses. This article aims to propose a theoretical model that integrates elements of entrepreneurial behavior with the main characteristics of technological disruption, offering an analytical and practical framework to guide the overcoming of the innovator's dilemma. The study adopts a qualitative and exploratory approach, based on semi-structured interviews with entrepreneurs operating in sectors impacted by disruptive innovations. Content analysis was guided by Filion's Metamodel (vision, mental model, energy, leadership, and relationship system) and the principles of Christensen et al. (2015), which include lower initial performance, reduced margins, customer resistance, and the emergence of new markets. The results indicate that the intentional and articulated mobilization of the five behavioral elements proposed by Filion (1993) favors the reconfiguration of business models, the overcoming of resistance, and the exploration of emerging opportunities. The theoretical model developed constitutes the main contribution of this article by offering an integrated and operationalizable framework for application in disruption contexts. It is concluded that entrepreneurial behavior acts as a catalyst for strategic adaptation, continuous innovation, and value generation in unstable technological environments.

The textile industry generates dye-containing wastewater characterized by intense coloration, high salinity, elevated oxygen demand, and recalcitrant pollutants. Although conventional treatment technologies can remove color and reduce organic load, decolorization alone does not guarantee detoxification because toxic transformation products may persist or be generated during incomplete degradation. This review emphasizes the synergistic interaction between oxidative and reductive enzymes and microorganisms as a promising strategy for promoting extensive pollutant transformation and potentially enhancing mineralization. Particular attention is given to the complementary roles of laccases (LAC), azoreductases (AZOR), ligninolytic peroxidases, bacteria, fungi, and microbial consortia in sequential degradation pathways that can improve detoxification efficiency. Mechanisms including azo bond cleavage, aromatic amine transformation, and subsequent microbial degradation are discussed to demonstrate how integrated systems can overcome the limitations of enzyme- or microorganism-based treatments alone and may facilitate complete pollutant removal under appropriate conditions. The review also explores biomass-derived biocatalysts produced through solid-state fermentation of agro-industrial residues, demonstrating opportunities to integrate wastewater remediation with biomass valorization and circular bioeconomy principles. Finally, operational challenges, toxicity assessment, reactor design, enzyme immobilization, scale-up, and techno-economic considerations are discussed, and future research priorities are identified to support the development of sustainable and industrially applicable enzymatic–microbial detoxification technologies.
