Organizational Hybridity and Social Innovation
Author: Lucca Nietlispach
Publisher: BoD – Books on Demand
ISBN: 3759749925
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 100
Book Description
Global societal challenges like food insecurity or the replacement of fossil fuels with renewable energy have no easy and straight-forward solutions. Ultimately, a democratic process and social acceptance of new approaches are just as important as economic efficiency and cost reduction. Besides engagement from the public sector, there are private initiatives that aim to strike this balance. These newer hybrid organizations aim to internalize both social and economic identities and goals. However, this causes challenges that have to be overcome in order to successfully disseminate social innovations. This thesis, composed of three individual essays, investigates this context with a particular focus on social impact incubators and accelerators. These types of private support organizations act as intermediaries in social innovation ecosystems and support social enterprises through bundled services offered in innovation programs that span several months. The first essay is a literature review that takes a closer look at management in social enterprises, because they are the main participants in social impact incubator and accelerator programs. By investigating strategies to manage hybridity, this study contributes to the literature on organizational hybridity. The holistic management framework that was developed extends our knowledge of how social enterprises can concurrently improve in the social and economic goal dimensions. The second essay then investigates interactions between social incubator participants and the program environment. Program participants profit from personal mentoring, as well as access to a network and funding opportunities. However, little was known about how program participants interact and learn in these environments. This thesis contributes to knowledge by providing insights through a longitudinal single case study. In addition, it illuminates how these programs are funded in the third essay. An empirical model was built and tested using data collected from an original global survey of social impact incubators and accelerators. The results indicate that tensions between social and economic aspects are common in this context, and that governments tend to fund more economically oriented incubators and accelerators.

Public Values for Cities and City Policy
Author: Jari Stenvall
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030807991
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 263
Book Description
This book provides a framework for understanding the creation of public value in urban environments. The ability of cities to produce value is related to their capacity to generate meaningful resources for city residents and workers that enable them to craft meaningfulness in life and work. Meaningfulness and public value require new ways of leading and developing city governance. This extends to designing inclusive structures and processes for people to grapple with the meanings and values underpinning public value creation. A public value framework demands that city governance goes beyond ordinary government to considerations of how to involve city residents and workers in creating and maintaining the common good. The common good is determined by an inclusive associational life characterized by deliberative processes and opportunities for social contribution. When acting upon their entitlements to make the city, urban residents and workers – as members of diverse civic, public and private organizations – co-create the meanings that facilitate the collective action necessary to translate values into value. The experience of cooperating for the common good produces meanings that people can adopt into a sense that their lives have significance and purpose. This is particularly relevant to understanding how to motivate just and inclusive sustainability transitions, especially as cities recover from the Covid-19 pandemic. Focusing on cities and urban policy, the main theme of this book is to elaborate on public values for cities and city policies, and to further develop the concept of the meaningful city. This book aims to provide new kinds of tools for city development that can help them co-create resilience against future shocks.

Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 238
Book Description
Since the crisis in governance which led to a shortage of capable board members, recent years have seen the emergence of the enterprising arts organisation – a development which has led to the need for new types of board members who have a greater understanding of 'mission, money and merit' within a cultural construct. This innovative book explores the world of the arts board member from the unique perspective of the cultural and creative industries.

It provides in-depth insight into the changing pressures on arts boards after the financial crisis, and focuses uniquely on the role of passion on arts boards. Part of the Routledge Research in Creative and Cultural Industries Management series, written specifically for people seeking to develop their careers in cultural and creative management, this book is also for people working in and with arts organisations, in government and non-profit arts organisations. It will also be of interest to academics and researchers working in the wider corporate governance field.
