“…For instance, though the importance of “strong” leadership is acknowledged, what this strength means is rarely discussed. In complexity theory, leadership is understood as dynamic, complex and interactive, not simply having authority but also facilitating the interaction of agents and networks to structure emerging behaviour patterns (Uhl-Bien et al , 2007; Klein and Amis, 2020; Knight, 2021). The multi-faceted nature of leadership discussed in complexity theory aligns with the research findings, suggesting a need to better understand the characteristics of complexity leadership in this and similar contexts.…”

“…Hierarchical rigidity was also often a source of conflict, but it also revealed an underlying issue about how MHAT is traditionally implemented. While the MHAT model evolved from an understanding and recognition of local realities (bottom-up), the implementation was often top-down in that the local leader would be instrumental in its implementation; even if this is inevitable, it risks reinforcing existing power structures (Klein and Amis, 2020; Knight, 2021).…”

Purpose This study aims to evaluate how a community psychiatry model, referred to as the Mental Health Action Trust (MHAT) in India, provides decentralized care and comprehensive services to people with severe mental illness living in poverty. Using the complex adaptive system (CAS) framework, the authors aim to understand the factors that contribute to the diverse outcomes of the MHAT community mental health programme as observed in four different locations. Design/methodology/approach Four MHAT clinics were purposively chosen from two districts in Kerala. A comparative case study methodology was used to document each clinic’s MHAT services and activities, as found during field visits and interviews with staff members and volunteers. Findings The study shows that all four clinics met the basic aim of providing free, quality mental health care to the poorest populations, although not all aspects of the comprehensive model could be equally provided. Alignment with the MHAT vision, appropriate leadership, the relationship with partners and their level of community engagement determined the varied success between clinics. Originality/value The current study evaluation stresses that community ownership is crucial. Careful attention must be paid to the characteristics of selected partners, including their leadership styles and ability to garner resources.

“…AEs do not adopt the typical “incumbent response to technological change [which] is to embrace its inevitability” (Adner and Snow, 2010, p. 1656). AEs pursue opportunities based on a different logic (Thornton et al , 2012) than most entrepreneurs – a preservation logic (Klein and Amis, 2020) focused on conserving and maintaining analog products and technologies. In this way, AEs are akin to museum curators who are motivated to preserve cultural artifacts so that subsequent generations can experience them.…”

Purpose Research at the interface of marketing and entrepreneurship has emphasized digital entrepreneurship and how entrepreneurs pursue business opportunities centered on new technologies. However, a different type of entrepreneurship focused on opportunities involving consumers’ (re)adoption of displaced analog technologies when digital alternatives are dominant – analog entrepreneurship – is a trend and counter phenomenon to digital entrepreneurship that is receiving intense practitioner interest but limited scholarly attention. The purpose of this article is to present a theoretical framework that explains the role of analog entrepreneurship in technology revitalization. Design/methodology/approach In this conceptual paper, the authors use the microfoundations perspective to develop a multilevel theory of analog entrepreneurship. The authors define and delineate the “analog entrepreneurship” concept and formulate a midrange theory explaining how entrepreneurs influence the reemergence of analog technologies. Findings The theory’s main insight is that the renewal of analog technologies is not confined to consumers. Entrepreneurs are creating businesses that stimulate demand for analog technologies. As a result of entrepreneurs’ activities, legacy analog technologies do not fade into nonexistence in the face of rival digital technologies. Originality/value The theory of analog entrepreneurship contributes to research at the intersection of entrepreneurship and marketing by expanding its focus to consider the entrepreneurs who revitalize displaced analog technologies when digital alternatives are dominant. The authors provide insight into the potential trajectories of technologies after their initial displacement and the role entrepreneurs play in shaping the late stages of technology lifecycles. The theory draws attention to an underexplored phenomenon made increasingly prevalent by recent technological disruptions and suggests an agenda for studying how entrepreneurs renew analog technologies.
