“…Power means the ability of social actors to change others’ behaviors, so as to achieve their own objectives, regardless of opposition [ 35 ]. The power of stakeholders depends on a number of factors, such as the resources that they own [ 13 ] and their personal attributes and social status [ 36 ]. During their collaboration, stakeholders who have the most important resources will have more power [ 34 ].…”

It is crucial to actively encourage the development of agriculture green technology, which has been regarded as one of the most effective solutions to the environmental degradation caused by agricultural activities. However, agriculture green technology diffusion is indeed a challenging task and still faces numerous barriers. The stakeholders who can potentially deal with these barriers, however, have been overlooked by previous studies. To address these issues, social network analysis was performed to identify critical stakeholders and barriers. Their interactions in agriculture green technology diffusion were analyzed based on the literature, a questionnaire survey and expert judgments. A two-mode network and two one-mode networks were used to analyze the relationships among the identified 12 barriers and 14 stakeholders who can influence these 12 barriers identified. The results show that agricultural research institutes, universities, agribusiness, agencies of township promotion, the government and farmers’ relatives are key stakeholders and that the limited market demand for green technology and the high cost of its diffusion are two main barriers. However, poor green technology operability and farmer families in distress are factors that are not as important as previously perceived. Finally, some recommendations and suggestions are provided to promote agriculture green technology diffusion in China.

“…While conceptual models for economic leverage of large-scale sport events have been developed, they have largely focused on tourism MS 17 077 Event Management E-pub and hospitality stakeholders located within an event precinct which we would expect to be motivated to capitalise on the opportunity of hosting a large-scale sport event (Chalip & Leyns, 2002). Little investigation has taken place of the broader context of business, particularly those that are considered secondary stakeholders within a host destination (Hanstad et al, 2013;Tiew, Holmes, & De Bussy, 2015;Todd et al, 2017).…”

Bids for large-scale sporting events and the accompanying political rhetoric typically include promises of economic development and gains for host business communities over the short and long term. Although conceptual models for economic leverage of large-scale sport events have been developed, our knowledge of the practical experiences of private enterprise converting opportunities presented by large-scale sport events is limited. In this article, the authors address this gap through a case study of the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games. The article investigates the opportunities and challenges perceived by private enterprises across the host city and explores the implementation of existing strategies to leverage benefits for business. Although participants identify the general benefits of hosting the event, they struggle to conceptualize benefits in relation to their own business settings. This suggests a disconnect between the legacy rhetoric of large-scale sporting events and the conversion of these opportunities into outcomes by private enterprises in the host city. Against this background, the article outlines a range of practical implications for private enterprise and key areas for future research.

“…Power has been defined as the capacity of one social actor to change others' behavior towards one's intentions regardless of resistance (Gaski, 1984). Regarding stakeholder collaboration, stakeholders' power can stem from their attributes and their structural position (Tiew et al, 2015). The power from an individual attribute can be explained by the resources dependency perspective (Mitchell et al, 1997), in which stakeholders' power in collaboration is determined by the resources the stakeholders possess (Saito et al, 2017).…”

Rapid urbanization and the issue of environmental degradation compel developing countries to find a cleaner approach to replace or complement the traditional on-site construction method. Off-site construction (OSC) with various merits has been regarded as a promising approach to address the problems confronted in developing countries. However, promoting the adoption of OSC is indeed a tough task facing multiple barriers. It is the stakeholder collaboration integrating diverse resources scattered in the construction industry that can adequately address these barriers. Although multiple studies have been conducted from various perspectives, the issue of stakeholder collaboration, as the key to promoting the OSC adoption, has been overlooked. This research aims to explore stakeholders' influencing power over the barriers using twomode social network analysis. Firstly, 13 barriers to the OSC adoption, as well as 15 stakeholders with the power to overcome these barriers, were identified based on literature and expert judgments. Subsequently, a questionnaire survey was conducted receiving 39 responses from experts with rich experience in OSC in Chongqing, China. Centrality and core-periphery structure analyses were adopted to study the network. The results show that the government and developers have the highest degree centrality, betweenness centrality, and eigenvector centrality, and thus are the most influential stakeholders in the network. Similarly, the lack of knowledge and expertise, and the dominant conventional project process have the highest values of centrality among all barriers. With the density of interaction being 0.814, core stakeholders and barriers have intensive relationships, and the network shows an apparent core-periphery structure. Theoretically, this study demonstrates the use of the two-mode social network in construction research, and practically, this study sheds lights on how to effectively drive the adoption of OSC in developing countries through promoting stakeholder collaboration.
