“…Additionally, social innovation is not an established concept within the culture of CSOs and has yet to become institutionalized. Our analysis supports the findings of previous literature on social innovation (Morrar & Baba, 2022).…”

“…Social innovation (SI) offers an alternative to donor-aiddriven models and aid dependency, defined as an approach to satisfy social needs and generate social value (Borzaga & Bodini, 2012;Phills et al, 2008). However, for SI to be effective in Palestine, three barriers must be overcome, including a lack of culture for SI, negative competitiveness between CSOs, lack of coordination between donors and CSOs, and low capacity to innovate (Morrar & Baba, 2022).…”

“…To investigate the interplay of different dynamics, the study builds on the distinctive case of Palestinian Civil Society Organizations (PCSOs) in the context of conflict. A rarely studied context in organizational studies (with exceptions, see (Arda & Banerjee, 2021;Morrar & Baba, 2022)) given the protracted conflict in Palestine, engaged scholarship presents an opportunity for collaboration between academics and community-based practitioners (Boyer, 1996). This study focuses on PCSOs operating in the context of the Israeli occupation of Palestine in the West Bank and Gaza Strip (Gordon, 2008), which has created a unique and extreme setting where Palestinian non-governmental organizations (NGOs) exercise power in areas of limited statehood (Arda & Banerjee, 2021).…”

In this study, we aim to investigate the much shrouded and problematic role of civil society organizations (CSOs) in conflict settings. We argue that to go beyond the “NGOization” of CSOs, there is a need to have a macro perspective of the interaction mechanisms between the shifting dynamics that CSOs play in development efforts. This lack of perspective impedes the ability of CSOs to navigate challenges in conflict settings because examining CSO dynamics independently will not be sufficient to develop effective solutions. Therefore, we investigated the interplay between dynamics in the case of Palestinian CSOs through our interactive framework, where we identified three main barriers faced by CSOs and eight interaction mechanisms between each of the dynamics and the barriers. Our framework appeals to policymakers and practitioners alike by offering practical implications emphasizing the role of locally led initiatives that mobilize communities to innovate and govern, with guidance from CSOs.

Purpose This study aims to analyze the internal and external factors of the acceptance of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to implemented sustainable business model innovations (SBMI) that depend on external factors, dynamic performance expectancy, facilitating conditions, social influence, effort expectancy, hedonic motivation and factor internal speed. Design/methodology/approach This is a quantitative method research project conducted through a survey of SMEs in Semarang, Central Java, from February to June 2021. SMEs that have been operated to sustainable business were chosen purposively as samples. Based on the requirement, there are 220 entities used in this study. Data analysis was conducted by using Structural Equation Model. Findings The results of this study provide empirical support that the factors studied affect the acceptance of SME business actors toward the implementation of SBMI. The application of this SBMI is used to design and implement a sustainable business model for SME businesses. This study has identified, explained and empirically supported the behavioral structures (composites and factors) that influence the adoption of SBMIs that are commonly available for business modeling. Research limitations/implications The main limitation of this research is the static view of the structure (construction) that influences the use or application of SBMI by SME actors which often changes over time, experience and failure. Originality/value This study supports the execution of sustainable innovation initiatives that have yet to be investigated at the strategic, operational and tactical levels. This is especially true when beginning a firm, because entrepreneurs encounter uncertainty while putting their plans into action at one of three levels: strategic, operational or tactical.

PurposeThe paper examines the key driving factors behind the rapid and uneven growth of social enterprises in China based on Kerlin’s Macro-Institutional Social Enterprise (MISE) model of social enterprise development, with an emphasis on testing key local institutional factors.Design/methodology/approachThe study adopts the quantitative method approach. The hypotheses have been tested based on a cross-regional empirical analysis with two national datasets on China.FindingsThis study shows that among the state, market and civil society, local government support in terms of favorable policies is the sole determinant factor driving China’s social enterprise growth. On the other hand, the market is irrelevant and local civil society impedes social enterprise growth. This demonstrates that the current growth model is the result of government intervention.Research limitations/implicationsThe datasets have a limited sample size. We suggest that future studies may collect a larger sample size with more comprehensive information. We think this study will encourage more comparative qualitative studies at the local level to reveal the underlying mechanisms of growth.Practical implicationsSince government policy is the determinant factor, the quality and quantity of government-backed incubation programs and platforms would matter the most for social enterprise growth. Our study also helps social entrepreneurs understand what factors matter when they try to develop social enterprises in China. They are advised to work on aspects of gaining legal legitimacy and political support in order to grow the sector.Social implicationsThis conclusion suggests that professionals and practitioners should review the implications of the current growth of social enterprises in China, in terms of their sustainability, given their institutional isolation from other sectors.Originality/valueCurrent studies have yet to thoroughly explore the role of meso- and micro-institutional factors in social enterprise development, especially in different contexts. With reference to Kerlin’s framework and the tri-sector model, this paper advances the understanding of social enterprise growth in China.
