Learning “who we are” by doing: Processes of co-constructing prosocial identities in community-based enterprises

This study investigates how members in community-based enterprises (CBEs) engage in processes of co-constructing their collective prosocial identities. Based on an inductive analysis of 27 organizations that were formed explicitly as communities and sought to build alternative forms of production and consumption through innovative ways to pool and recombine resources, we found that all of the CBEs engaged in distributed experimentation that lead to epiphany sense-making. These two approaches triggered and enacted collective processes of shifts in identity or identity persistence. We advance a processual model that identifies approaches for how members of CBEs either embrace epiphanies in identity shifts or limit and react to epiphanies in identity persistence.     

Business Model Innovation for Sustainability: Towards a Unified Perspective for Creation of Sustainable Business Models

Business model innovation has seen a recent surge in academic research and business practice. Changes to business models are recognized as a fundamental approach to realize innovations for sustainability. However, little is known about the successful adoption of sustainable business models (SBMs). The purpose of this paper is to develop a unified theoretical perspective for understanding business model innovations that lead to better organizational economic, environmental and social performance. The paper examines bodies of literature on business model innovation, sustainability innovation, networks theory, stakeholder theory and product–service systems. We develop five propositions that support the creation of SBMs in a unified perspective, which lays a foundation to support organizations in investigating and experimenting with alternative new business models. This article contributes to the emerging field of SBMs, which embed economic, environmental and social flows of value that are created, delivered and captured in a value network. It highlights gaps for addressing the challenges of business model innovation for sustainability and suggests avenues for future research. © 2017 The Authors.

政策试验背景下差异化区域创新政策体系研究

区域创新政策在发挥区域创新优势和推动区域经济发展方面具有重要意义,也是实现建设创新型国家战略目标的重要工具。由于不同的区域之间在地理环境、资源禀赋以及经济发展水平方面存在差异,因此并没有一个普适性的区域创新政策模式适用于所有的区域。在制定区域创新政策时需要立足于区域实际情况,遵循差异化原则。基于政策试验背景对我国实行差异化区域创新政策的合理性和必要性进行探讨,并提出对策建议,为开展区域创新活动提供一定参考。
