“…One key argument for dealing with crises such as the pandemic is to encourage companies to shift towards more inclusive business models [53] because of the urgent need for involvement and contribution from the private sector, and a causal link with a fundamental shift towards more progressive corporate objectives, business cultures, and corporate values. An inclusive business model is a type of sustainable business that builds bridges between stakeholders, especially vulnerable ones, and the business community in order to create shared value [130,131]. Inclusive companies are more acquainted with the challenges faced by those at the base of the pyramid who are, more than ever, at risk [132] (pp.…”

The debate over corporate objectives and how companies deal with amplified existing societal inequalities and vulnerabilities has received increasing attention in recent years, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 crisis. The pandemic encouraged companies and policy makers to consider ways to develop a more enabling institutional environment, not only to tackle the ongoing crisis but also to prepare for similar future tests. Against this backdrop, the purpose of this paper is to focus on the significance and effectiveness of ex ante corporate social responsibility (CSR) law approaches in tackling the challenges brought by the pandemic. We investigate the uniqueness of the sustainable development challenges in the era of the pandemic, and introduce “corporate social competence” as a compliance principle in response to the need for forward-looking approaches to risk management and strategic planning. We use two ex ante legislative approaches in company law, namely mandatory CSR policy and legally recognised inclusive business models, as examples to illuminate the contribution of company law to navigate the pandemic beyond philanthropic CSR actions.

“…In fact, effective governance stabilises partnerships in the long term by minimising incentives for partners to act opportunistically. Indeed, cross-sectoral collaborations-both in affluent and developing/emerging countries-face a variety of challenges, including cultural incompatibilities, inefficient decision-making, conflicting goals and norms (Duke, 2016;Gillett et al, 2018), lack of trust (Nahi, 2018) and different ambitions for growth (Gillett et al, 2018).…”

Social business collaboration at the bottom of the pyramid: The case of orchestration

et al. 2019

Social business orchestrators (SBO) help social businesses of various sizes to tackle major societal issues by filling gaps in knowledge and resources. However, research has overlooked these types of collaboration. Situated within a bottom of the pyramid (BoP) context in Bangladesh, the current study sheds light on the process of value creation for SBO-social businesses partnerships by comparing different collaboration partners. Multiple case study research through the lens of the relational view was used to ask how SBOs facilitate value creation in social businesses by flexibly adapting resource inputs and governance mechanisms to the specific endowment and size of partners; this approach was informed by interviews and field note analyses. The combined deductive-inductive analysis enhances knowledge of idiosyncrasies of SBO-social business collaborations. Our study draws attention to the role of large orchestrators, whose model could be scaled and transferred to other world regions, including industrialised countries.

“…The project developers should focus their corporate social responsibility activities based on educational issues. They can collaborate with the local NGOs that work on education, thereby deepening their ties with the community, and consequently achievinging a higher level of sustainability (Nahi, 2018). With such initiatives, not only will the developers enjoy an increased support for their project, but the community will also directly benefit through a better educated society with higher knowledge and capacities.…”

Enhancing local support for tidal energy projects in developing countries: Case study inFlores Timur Regency, Indonesia

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Tidal energy is a new renewable energy source that can be used to provide electricity to remote islands, while contributing to climate change mitigation. Like all renewable energy projects, public awareness and support are not only crucial for the successful development of marine renewable energy projects too, but also aid the private sector project developers in making long-term plans. As information about tidal energy is not easily available, public views toward it are not well known, making it challenging for the project developers to strategize implementation strategies. Moreover, the limited studies focusing on such social aspects of tidal energy come from advanced countries, highlighting the lack of focus on cases from developing countries. Our study fulfills this gap by providing a case study focusing on the social aspects of tidal energy in a developing country, which can be utilized by developers for designing their public engagement strategies. We estimate the public support for tidal energy in eastern Indonesia using two methods: (a) stages of development and (b) information provision. Using the first method, we found that support for tidal energy is lower in the initial stages, but it keeps rising once the public can realize the benefits. The second method shows that though people tend to support tidal energy, the role of information provision is dissimilar compared with western cases. Additionally, Probit modeling shows that Age, Education, Collective Outcome Favorability, and especially, Individual Outcome Favorability are the key factors that positively impact the support for tidal energy in eastern Indonesia.
