“…The improvement of local farming practices to a more resilient and adaptive system makes communities safer and their local economic activities more sustainable. This observation resonates with the findings of Shafiie et al (2019) and Dongre and Paranjothi (2020) on their case studies in Malaysia and Indonesia and the Asia Pacific, respectively, where they noted that the improvement in the cooperatives members' access to financial resources increased their engagement in proactive development activities, which improve their physical, social, governance and economic capacities to deal with crises.…”

“…Despite the increasing number of research concerning cooperatives, only a few discuss their contributions in the context of disaster risk reduction and management (DRRM). Some of these include those by Dongre and Paranjothi (2020) and Bravo (2018), who argue that cooperatives aided during relief efforts after Typhoon Haiyan devastated parts of the Philippines in 2013 and after the Great East Japan Earthquake impacted Japan in 2011. There are also similar reports on cooperatives extending relief assistance to affected members in India after Second World War (Wilson and Santhi, 2018), in the Philippines during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 (Cooperative Development Authority, 2020), and in the Maldives after the Tsunami in 2006 (Pardasani, 2006).…”

PurposeThis paper is to contribute to addressing the knowledge gap on the roles of rural cooperatives in disaster risk reduction and management (DRRM).Design/methodology/approachThis study adopts a mixed-methods approach highlighting indigenous strategies of community engagement – the pantatabtaval/tong tongan (brainstorming and dialogs), pan-iestorya/dad-at (storytelling session) and field observations with 50 village-level cooperatives in Benguet, Philippines to understand their contributions to local DRRM.FindingsRural cooperatives in Benguet have evolved on their context of service from mere rural development to now include DRRM donations and aid for disaster-affected families, credit and loans are the most common services of these rural cooperative extended to their members to deal with risks of disasters.Originality/valueMost research on cooperatives focuses on their contribution to socio-economic development and only few dealt with DRRM. This paper explores the link of these rural organizations with DRRM drawing evidence from cooperatives in the rural communities of Benguet, Philippines.

“…For example, the Covid-19 pandemic that spread at the end of 2019 stopped the whole world for a long time (Ivanov and Dolgui, 2020;Ivanov, 2020a, b). Although SEs have proven to be resilient and anti-cyclical over time, they have suffered the negative impact of the recent Covid-19 pandemic due to the aforementioned short-term liquidity shortages (Dongre and Paranjothi, 2020;Europe, Coop, 2020).…”

PurposeThis paper aims to verify which intangible assets attributable to intellectual capital (IC) influence the anti-cyclical nature and the resilience of social enterprises (SEs) during systemic crises and whether these factors take on particular connotations in female-run SEs.Design/methodology/approachA qualitative methodology based on multiple case studies is used to answer the research questions. A set of SEs operating in the catering sector is analyzed. The analysis is carried out by in-depth interviews with male and female managers of SEs to understand which resilience IC factors were most activated during full emergency and recovery stages.FindingsThe results confirm the anti-cyclical nature of SEs and their resilience to systemic crises. No distinct differences emerge between female and male SEs. Concerning the IC, relational capital (RC) is the most relevant intangible asset for small and medium-sized SEs. Internal and external relations support them during the crisis and the consolidation of trusted ties, formal and informal, external and internal, favor the Recovery. The RC is a crucial resource even in bigger SEs, but some differences are detected concerning the smaller ones. In the smaller SEs, informal relations prevail, while formal relations prevail in the larger ones, particularly with institutions. Furthermore, the RC is the sole or primary resource in the smaller SEs, while the bigger SEs can count on more varied intangible resources.Originality/valueThis study offers an original contribution to studies on IC by focusing on the factors little analyzed by existing studies: (1) SE management, (2) the contribution of IC to the resilience of non-profit-oriented enterprises and (3) the search for elements of differentiation between SEs with male and female leadership.

The usual crisis mode of economic operations in Palestine intersects with the adverse consequences of COVID-19 and necessitates an innovative response to survive. This research builds on potential synergies between industry and university to expand the Palestinian agriculture sector resilience. We report on an explorative study that sought to understand the reality of the university–industry linkages (UILs) by considering information and experience gathered from 29 interviews in January 2020 and April 2021. Interviewees represent five key actor groups: farmers and agribusinesses, private institutions, universities, the Ministry of Agriculture, and NGOs. Content analysis revealed a nascent collaboration scope and uncovered the lack of a confident attitude among farmers towards agriculture research efforts, the poor communication performance, and misalignment of purpose. University actors need to encompass the UILs in their mission and touch farmers’ needs by providing novelty evidence research. Yet, farmers and agribusinesses may take the initiative to communicate their problems and search for renovation. We developed a framework of underpinnings to enhance collaboration and a healthier agriculture sector. We suggest activating the cooperatives and diversifying farmers’ income as deemed more resilient to face the pandemic.
