“…Arguably, developing a sustainable market is derived from sustainable marketing efforts in a society. Though the notion of sustainability is strictly associated with the culture of traditional societies, economic prosperity and changing materialistic tendencies have transitioned traditional societies into a culture that is the antithesis of market sustainability [1,29]. This is all occurring due to the dominance of neo-liberal theory of consumption, which is being fueled by the effects of globalization [2].…”

Consumer behavior is becoming increasingly heterogeneous due to the changing culture patterns and effects of globalization. This phenomenon increases the importance of focusing on the social dimension of sustainability in a consumer market. This research contributes to the body of knowledge by emphasizing the consequences of individual cultural values and individual materialistic values in the Chinese consumer market. In this endeavor, Hofstede’s framework of individual culture with materialistic effect is applied to understand consumer behavior in a processed food market. Rigorous research activity was conducted at the point of sale in different supermarkets to record the responses of random consumers. The results of multi-variate covariance-based structure equation modeling show that individual materialistic values have emerged as a key determinant, which reflects the individual culture for consumer buying behavior in a state of globalization. Power distance, long-term orientation, and uncertainty avoidance were found to be important measures of individual culture. The findings of the study are useful in assisting the industry for product launching and marketing strategies to achieve future sustainability in the processed food market. In the pursuit of a sustainable processed food market, the focus should shift toward individual cultural values away from national and group cultures.

“…Over the past decade, a vast amount of scholarly work has examined various aspects of sustainable entrepreneurship, including sustainable entrepreneurs' (SEs') intention and motivation [12][13][14][15][16], SEs' competency [17][18][19], SEs' values [20], SEs' knowledge [5,21], sustainable entrepreneurial opportunity [1,2,[22][23][24], the context for SE [9,[25][26][27][28], success factors for SE [29,30], ways to promote SE [31][32][33][34][35], etc. Although prior studies are insightful, they mainly focus on individual-and/or organization-level factors, albeit the fact that most startups are launched with a group of people [36].…”

Sustainable Entrepreneurship Team Scale Development: A Complex Systems Perspective

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This paper primarily focuses on two questions: (1) "How is a sustainable entrepreneurship team (SET) formed?"; and (2) "What factors contribute to effective SET?". Based on the model of Baron and Henry (2011), we adopt a process view of SET development and propose a conceptual model of a SET work that includes four key elements: (1) Sustainable entrepreneurial motivation; (2) sustainable entrepreneurial opportunity recognition; (3) knowledge resources acquirement; and (4) sustainable entrepreneurial outcome. Furthermore, based on complex systems theory, we elaborate on how individual entrepreneurs form a SET. We also develop a SET scale and provide some initial empirical support for our conceptual model. Finally, based on our qualitative and quantitative results, we offer suggestions for Research Question 2.

“…The scientists [6][7][8][9][10][11][12] stress that culture provides an important input into functionalizing city and community, acknowledges that community vitality and life quality are determined by the involvement in cultural activities, and cultural value forms society's lifestyle and thus can determine its changes that are necessary to assure sustainable development. Culture helps to create vivid cities and communities where people can live, work, and play an important role when contributing to social and economic welfare [13,14].…”

The Impact of Value Created by Culture on Approaching the Sustainable Development Goals: Case of the Baltic States

2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Culture plays an important role in implementing sustainability principles and approaching sustainable development goals across different countries. This paper aims to analyse the relationship between the value created by culture and the implementation of sustainable development goals of countries. The majority of attention in this research is devoted to composing and calculating the integrated cultural value index, which provides clear linkages between value created by culture and sustainable development goals. An expert survey was conducted, during which experts had to assess indicators by ranking them according to importance. There have been 14 indicators included in total to calculate the integrated cultural value index. The values created by culture in the selected Baltic States have been determined by calculating the weight coefficient of each indicator and providing a composite cultural value index. Statistical data analysis unquestionably confirms that cultural input when implementing sustainable development goals is significant, because there exists a very strong positive relationship between the cultural value index and achieved sustainable development goals in all three case studies.
