Appropriate skills are required for innovation to be fostered.…”

“…Previous research shows the importance of past experiences in the process of habitus formation [77,80,81]. To clarify the picture of the entrepreneur's habitus, we elaborate on the early childhood and socialization (i.e., historical contingencies and cultural legacy [82]) of the entrepreneur and how his experience led to the initial business model.…”

Exploring Value Creation in Sustainable Entrepreneurship: Insights from the Institutional Logics Perspective and the Business Model Lens

Sustainable entrepreneurs intend to create environmental and social value while they build their financially viable business. With this in mind, they are embedded in multiple institutionalized value systems (i.e., institutional logics) that provide them with different, often contradictory values, beliefs, and guiding principles. Adhering to these value systems and integrating multiple forms of value into a coherent business model is a key task for sustainable entrepreneurs, yet current efforts lack insight into how this can be achieved. To address this, the article utilizes the institutional logic perspective in conjunction with the componential approach to business models. By analyzing a longitudinal in-depth case study, this article develops a novel theoretical model linking shifts in the entrepreneur’s perception of institutional logic to business model alterations, and emphasizes the underlying mechanisms and behavior of the sustainable entrepreneur. Sustainable entrepreneurs integrate and blend institutional logic through multiple business model transitions, which are characterized by a personal reorientation of the entrepreneur and new practices to implement change. Furthermore, our findings show that the entrepreneur’s habitus, the pre-change business model, and the change-specific dominant logic are integral and previously overlooked concepts that contextualize their business model transition. The findings and discussion advance the theoretical and practical understanding of the processes through which sustainable entrepreneurs integrate multiple forms of value into their business models. With that, the article contributes to research on sustainable entrepreneurship, institutional logic and business models.

“…Expanding the social view of recovery, Cloud & Granfield (1999) employed Bourdieu's (1980) concept of social capital which is seen as a useful meso-level concept (Bebbington, 2002) that continues to be widely applied, for instance, see Putnam (2001), Hawkins & Maurer (2010) or Nussio & Oppenheim (2014) (who focus on anti-social capital typified by corrupt, criminal or anti-social behaviour). Capital, Cloud & Granfield (2008) argue, is "a body of resources that can be accumulated or exhausted" (p. 1972) and through a complex interplay between field and habitus explains practice (Outsios and Kittler, 2018). Thus, recovery capital is "the sum total of one's resources that can be brought to bear on the initiation and maintenance of substance misuse cessation" Granfield, 2008, p.1972).…”

Theory suggests health focused Community Operational Research (COR) projects and their participants can benefit from balancing a "glass half empty" concern for deficits, problems and weaknesses with a "glass half full" concern for identifying health assets and bringing them into use. We present a COR systemic intervention in the care of persons with addiction and substance use/ misuse problems in Clydeplace, Scotland (anonymised). Our research reveals how the Whole Person Recovery System is situated within a wider General Community Recovery System that offers a variety of health assets that can be mobilised to create and increase recovery capital. The project involved 20 semi-structured interviews, two asset mapping workshops, a certificated "health issues" course completed by seven "champions", and action planning and implementation. In the interviews participants found gaps were more easily identified than assets. During the workshops participants identified 388 discrete assets and gaps, prioritised these using a simple voting system and developed a series of actions to mobilise health assets including bringing into use local facilities and amenities and involving a number of individuals and groups in local events and activities. Our study suggests that even in the impoverished system of Clydeplace, a "Community Catalyst" in the form of a Community Operational Researcher can act to stimulate the co-development of health assets, build relationships and enable the creation of social capital. It is not clear though when such systems become "self-catalysing." Keywords OR in health and social care, Community Operational Research, substance misuse, social capital, recovery capital, health assets, systems. 1. Community Operational Research and health and social care improvement Operational Research (OR) has a longstanding tradition of social responsibility (e.g., see Ackoff, 1974; Churchman, 1970; Ormerod & Ulrich, 2013; Rosenhead, 1986,) and has frequently challenged OR scholars to tackle societal issues. This mission has particularly been taken on board by scholars focussing on community-based OR interventions. While the term 'Community Operational Research' (COR) originates in the UK (Rosenhead, 1986) there is a long international history of often eminent contributions to community-based interventions of diverse theoretical and practical kinds from outwith and often prior to the OR movement, including Dewey's early 20th century experimentalist and progressive educational movement (Masters, 1995), Moreno's psychodrama with Viennese
