An Individual Decision-Making Model for Taking Climate-Friendly Action

Experts are concerned about the impending arrival of tipping points in the global climate’s ability to accommodate increasing levels of CO2 and methane in the atmosphere, at least partly due to human activity. The resulting environmental degradation and loss of biodiversity are likely to be devastating to civilized ways of life. This paper presents an individual-level decision-making model that can alleviate some of the cognitive paralysis that results from being faced with such a global-scale existential crisis as but one individual among billions. It achieves this by simplifying and organising the kinds of trade-offs that are required to identify the individual’s most productive course of action from among many alternatives. Choices between whether to engage in forced choice over organisational practices they might control (e.g., a business mission) versus social influencing (e.g., via a social media presence) versus changes in lifestyle are central. It shows that those with control over the behaviour of others will likely bear greater responsibility. Easier decision-making should increase levels of pro-environmental activity.

Conclusions are drawn about the intensification of all types of cooperation with the People's Republic of China, countries of the Muslim world and with various countries of the EAEU and the CIS, indicating the determining role of the economic structure of all partners, including the presence of preferential regimes of interaction. If increasing global trade turnover is clearly a positive process, then the selection of international industrial cooperation projects should be accompanied by in-depth business analysis of the complementarity of the goals and capabilities of the countries participating in industrial cooperation. Another important conclusion is the need to analyze the potential of Russian regions to identify opportunities for scaling the experience of Tatarstan - the presence of a foundation of industrial cooperation that is mutually beneficial for all parties and infrastructure that ensures the effectiveness of international cooperation. Differences between the Russian and regional economy as its meso-level may lead to an unsuccessful attempt to scale the best practices of the Republic of Tatarstan. In this regard, it is proposed to create a system for connecting part of the regions of the Russian Federation to the channels of international cooperation created in the Republic of Tatarstan to enhance interaction primarily with partners from the countries of the Islamic world.

Exploring Diversity of Hybrid Business Models: Institutional Logic Perspective on Social Enterprises

To extend the discussion of hybrid business models (HBMs) in the literature, this study examines how multiple logics interact and facilitate the construction of HBMs, using empirical evidence from 30 social enterprises that are hybrid organizations with both social and business missions. Taking a qualitative multiple-case-study approach, we identify three factors (social mission, industrial segment, collaborative relationship with stakeholders) as sources of institutional hybridity. We also illustrate why institutional hybridity differs among businesses by exploring from where incompatibility and centrality are derived. As a result, an HBM with five typologies (interaction, integration, co-production, bridging, self-branding) is proposed. Based on this, we adopt an institutional logic perspective in explaining how the HBM emerges, develops, and creates and delivers value. This study makes an important contribution in bridging the institutional logics theory and HBM literatures, as well as informing practitioners engaged in hybrid organizations.

Creating Positive Impact: The Power of Greater Purpose and Consciousness of Connectedness

As the idea of business as a positive force in society continues to grow, we ask: Under what conditions do business leaders transform their companies into organizations that create positive value for all stakeholders, generate above-average economic returns, and serve personal well-being, community health, a fair and inclusive society, and a thriving natural environment? This study aims to explore the underlying factors and motivations of business as a force for good, and to identify practical guidance for business leaders wishing to create a positive impact through their organizations. Our prior research led us to hypothesize that a leader’s mindset—or consciousness—is the foundation of a leader’s orientation toward meaningful social responsibility, and that a clear higher purpose for a business galvanizes an organization toward positive outcomes. To test our understanding, we conducted a quantitative, survey-based study to explore the relationship between the consciousness of leaders, the expression of greater purpose as part of the business mission, the relational climate in the company, and the results achieved by the business (economic, social, and environmental). Our findings suggest that leader consciousness has a significant impact on the climate in an organization (which mediates the impact on business results), and that greater purpose is a powerful force impacting relational climate and positive economic, social, and environmental outcomes.

Paradoxes of Belonging, Organizing, and Agency: Integrating and Differentiating Divergent Strategic Logics in Supported Social Enterprises

ABSTRACT Supported social enterprises (SSEs) are organizations that rely on both public subsidies and commercial activities to support underserved individuals’ social and economic integrations. As such, SSEs must manage paradoxes embedded in their double-bottom line that binds market and welfare logics. Having to pass through such authoritative and discordant filters, SSEs are inevitably compelled to vacillate between risky alignment strategies. Deploying an SSE serving immigrant women in the U.S. Southwest as a case study, this study takes a critical discourse approach to examine cross-status articulations of organizational identities, ideologies, and paradoxes underlying the work of the focal SSE. Interview discourses revealed how members of the SSE experience and respond to paradoxes of belonging, organizing, and institutional embeddedness stemming from employee profiles, workfare programs, and ideological contestations, respectively. Because the identified paradoxes are inherent in the work of SSEs, this study proposes integration and differentiation as flexible yet complementary entrepreneurial communication strategies for managing paradoxes and divergent logics. Additionally, integration and differentiation can help SSEs foster cross-status awareness and commitment to both social and business missions that are crucial in the processes of revamping legitimacy among SSEs stakeholders.
