“…They represent illustrative case-studies as defined by (Flyvbjerg, 2006) of short food chains, targetting urban consumers primarily from Lisbon and Porto Metropolitan Areas. Short food chains initiatives have been emerging in Portugal primarily from young social entrepreneurs (George and Block, 2011) such as João Henriques, today CEOand owner of Biovivos enterprise (Biovivos, 2017), and Isabel Soares, mentor and current CEO of Consumers Cooperative Fruta Feia (Fruta Feia CRL, 2017). Another young woman, Catarina Grilo was the mentor of Cabaz do Peixe, a Community Supported Fish Distribution initiative that is currently run by the local Fishermen's Association (Cabaz do Peixe, 2017).…”

We apply the notion of the organisational field to internationally operating multi-family offices.These organisations specialise on the preservation of enterprising and geographically dispersed families' fortunes. They provide their services across generations and countries. Based on secondary data of Bloomberg's Top 50 Family Offices, we show that they constitute a global organisational field that comprises two clusters of homogeneity. Clients may decide between two different configurations of activities, depending on their preferences regarding asset management, resource management, family management, and service architecture. The findings also reveal that multi-family offices make relatively similar value propositions all over the world. The distinctiveness of the clusters within the field is not driven by the embeddedness of the multifamily offices in different national environments or their various degrees of international experience. Rather, it is weakly affected by two out of four possible value propositions, namely the exclusiveness and the transparency of services.

“…Business model literature now highlights different foci, topics, and areas of research . George and Bock (2011) recently conducted a literature review of business model research and found that the literature revolves around six themes (design, RBV (resource-based view), narratives, innovations, transactive, and opportunities). Business model discussions also recently expand into noncommercial themes, such as on sustainability, and around PSOs (public service organizations) .…”

“…However, the utilization of these theories in explaining business model frameworks is rather marginal in the business model literature; in contrast, George and Bock (2011) argue that much research in the literature embraces resource-based view (RBV) theory in analysing business model dynamics in commercial ventures. RBV theory seems to provide an envelope for existing business model frameworks and it allows linking to firm strategy concepts .…”

“…Most business model analyses are for organizations with market-orientation and based on expectations to achieve a sustainable competitive advantage and profit maximization (Teece, 2010;. Further, theoretical foundations used to analyse existing business models are mostly market-based theory, such as the resource-based view (RBV) George & Bock, 2011) Second, much research on non-profit transformation discusses how to embed market activities into non-profits and focus partially on funding diversification of the new entity . This approach has been criticized and characterized as the dominance of the 'enterprise' or the 'business' narratives in the literature .…”

Social Venture Business Models for Transforming Non-Profit Organizations: Typology-Driven Theorizing

KeywordsBusiness model, social entrepreneurship, social venture, non-profit organization, typology, configuration ii Social Venture Business Models for Transforming Non-Profit Organizations: Typology-Driven Theorizing AbstractSocial entrepreneurship and social ventures are important for the survival of many non-profit organizations (NPOs). Transforming into social ventures and embracing their business models are seen by many NPOs, particularly those operating in developing countries, as potential solutions to achieve financial sustainability in light of a recent decline in public and aid funding support to these organizations. Unfortunately, the knowledge of the appropriate social venture business models for these transforming NPOs is limited. This is a thesis by published papers. Using a theory elaboration/advancement framework to achieve the aims and to link the papers, this thesis contains three sequential papers that fulfil important roles in the typology-driven theorizing process.The first paper, a conceptual paper, entitled "A Typology of Social Venture Business Model Configurations" aims to develop a typology of social venture business models for transforming non-profit organizations. The paper, using resource dependency
