“…Most respondents reported their opinions on the statements related to participation at a superficial level only in information-giving and passive participation in their community's biomass power plant initiatives. According to citizens, engagement played an important role in energy projects promotion [33]; the shallow participation level in this study reflected the low opportunity for the community to be consulted in the decision-making step. Since the energy transition needs to drive together with stakeholder engagement [34], the Thai royal government and local administrative organizations should support community-driven energy initiatives in Southern Thailand.…”

Community Capacity-Building Mobilization towards Energy Transitions in the Era of Thailand 4.0: A Case Study on Biomass Power Plants

2021

In 2015, the National Energy Policy Council (NEPC) approved the latest Alternative Energy Development Plan (AEDP) 2015–2036, targeting electricity generation from biomass, biogas, and municipal solid waste by 2036 towards the Thailand 4.0 policy. The small biomass power plants are intensively promoted, contributing to many more public concerns. Therefore, this study provided new insight using the readiness and resilience in the communities near the biomass power plant generation in Southern Thailand. The community readiness model (CRM) and community health impact assessment (CHIA) were adopted using mixed methods during January–November 2019. A total of 999 respondents replied to the questionnaires, 153 informants were interviewed, and the panel was discussed and analyzed by descriptive statistics and content analysis. Findings illustrated that all stakeholder sectors strengthened community-driven development based on the average community readiness (3.01 ± 0.11) in a vague awareness stage, only with participation in information giving (75.38%) and having an impact pain point score of 7.64 ± 0.54, which was a highly intense level used to develop the public policy towards biomass power plants. Recent advanced community tools offered new insights for the first time about community strategic plans for sustainable biomass power generation, to achieve community security and values of democracy in Southern Thailand.

“…FsQCA provides three different solutions to manage logical remainders (Schneider & Wagemann, 2012): a “complex solution,” a “parsimonious solution,” and an “intermediate solution” (for more information about complex, parsimonious, and intermediate solutions, see Fiss (2011) and Ragin (2008)). The intermediate solution was used because logical remainders could be restricted to the most plausible (Ragin, 2008), and that was the best practice (de Crescenzo et al., 2020; Whittington & Bell, 2016).…”

Finding creative solutions to organizations' challenges is critical to determining the ability to thrive. Creative leadership promotes an organizational culture based on creative problem‐solving skills. Five leadership elements (being digitally and technologically savvy, having a results orientation, promoting collaborative teamwork, possessing business skills, and providing resources to the team) enable leaders to pursue creative or uncreative problem‐solving solutions. The current study used a fuzzy‐set qualitative comparative analysis to identify the elements of creative leadership. The analysis comprises data from 123 leaders worldwide from different sectors collected from an online survey. The results showed five leadership profiles leading to creative problem‐solving and another five profiles leading to an uncreative outcome. The results provided a tangible approach to the behaviors needed to be creative leaders and the configurations of uncreative behaviors to avoid. The study integrates academic and practitioner perspectives on creative leadership and offers a model supported in the academic literature and relevant to practical needs.

“…Research on networks as a signal to investors examines whether and how social enterprises’ participation in networks can be a positive signal of legitimacy to outside investors (de Crescenzo et al., 2020; de Lange & Valliere, 2020; Jayawarna et al., 2020). For example, investors seem to assume that social enterprises with large social networks face fewer difficulties when looking for volunteers, enjoy better stakeholder relationships and understand social needs better (Miller & Wesley, 2010).…”

Social enterprises, located between non-profit organisations and for-profit firms, often struggle to acquire external funding. An increasing amount of research on the external financing of social enterprises stems from a fragmented body of the literature anchored in a variety of subject areas (e.g. entrepreneurship, public sector management, general management and strategy). We systematically review 204 academic articles published between 1998 and 2021 to bridge the knowledge gaps in these subject areas by: (1) mapping the field of the external financing of social enterprises at the individual, organisational and institutional levels; (2) synthesising the findings to develop an overarching framework; and (3) discussing theoretically sound future research avenues. We find that research at the individual level focuses primarily on investors' perspective of the ideal characteristics of a social entrepreneur. Research at the organisational level often addresses the dual logics of social enterprises and their impact on the successful financing of these businesses and the role of investor-investee collaboration.Research at the institutional level can be clustered into cultural, economic, political and legal factors. Overall, we stress the need for research that adopts an overarching view by considering all three levels of analysis simultaneously and using organisational and economic theories.
