“…To address the abovementioned issues, we propose a set of KPIs for the impact performance evaluation of agricultural social startups. Various techniques for selecting and ranking KPIs have been described in the literature, such as simple rating methods and borda (Arliana and Soebroto, 2018;Tangkesalu and Suseno, 2018;Attia et al 2020;Aziz et al 2020). Analytical hierarchy process (AHP) has been chosen because of its advantages in delineating a hierarchical framework in decisionmaking that breakdown general criteria into detailed indicators.…”

It is difficult for social startups to select the most relevant key performance indicators (KPIs) because it is difficult to find a shared impact language to code, classify, and interpret the impact. This study aims to determine key impact performance indicators for assessing success in agricultural social startups in Indonesia. We applied multi-case studies approach to four leading Indonesian agricultural social startups. In total, eight experts consisting of cofounders, human resources managers, and managing partners on each social startup have been asked to assess the importance of success criteria and the performance of the corresponding company in fulfilling the requirements. The analytical hierarchy process (AHP) was applied to determine the relative importance of impact themes and strategic goals. The AHP results showed that smallholder agriculture is the most critical impact theme to achieve as success criteria. Five of the 12 strategic goals with the highest priority were explained as candidates of KPIs: the financial health of farmers, better and stable pricing, social equity and justice, farm profitability, and food availability and diversity. The KPIs developed in this study are anticipated to be utilized by stakeholders involved in the agricultural social startup ecosystems, including practitioners, impact investors, and policy-makers.

This paper explores the social impact for population in the energy sector combining LCA and SIA (social impact assessment). As case study, a new 66 MW wind power plant under development in the countryside of Southern Sardinia has been considered. The innovative method, based on the analysis of the context, aims to empirically analyze some selected sustainability indicators. The proposed method starts from a detailed analysis of the wind power project, with particular reference to the plant site characteristics, technical features of the wind farm, opinions of the stakeholders, environmental and social impacts and expected economic benefits. The acquired data are validated with a Severity statistical method that identifies the KPIs. The indicators are classified into general categories of damage Human life, Safety guarantee, Social resources, Public participation and analyzed through a combined SIA-LCA method to identify indicators damage weights. This work shows the importance of putting together indicators already explored in the environmental field such as Human health, Ecosystem quality, Resource, Climate Change and as social indicators Renewable Energy with Noise, Visual Impact, Shadow Flichers, the perceptions of the local community.

PurposeThe diffusion of innovations in student housing, a commercial real estate subsector, is a critical concern to developers. Aside from how innovations contribute to investor' returns, there is a question of interest in real estate investment policies and contemporary real estate research. The study aims to assess the extent of innovation diffusion in student housing and its effects on investment returns in Ghana.Design/methodology/approachThe study used a mixed methods approach foregrounded on the innovation diffusion theory. With the mix of surveys and interviews of 828 student housing managers/investors and 25 key student housing association leaders across selected off-campus student housing among six universities in Ghana, the study used both primary and secondary sources. Selection criteria were based on at least one of these criteria: Have operated in the student housing market over the past ten years, have adopted the use of technology in student housing management, have introduced new student housing marketing strategies and have made improvements (added value) to student housing services. Multiple regression and narratives were the main analytical tools employed in this study.FindingsThe study demonstrates that over the past ten years, student housing investors in Ghana have invested hugely in product, marketing, process and organisation innovations. Among these innovations, innovations by: marketing through souvenirs and annual-get-togethers product through Internet services processes through Information Management Systems (IMS), and organisation through student leadership were most utilised to descending extent. Furthermore, the study identified marketing and organisation innovation to have the highest effects on investment returns. However, process and product innovation showed a weak and moderate effect on investment returns because management hastily implemented these services without understanding the consequences it has on investment returns in the long run.Practical implicationsThe moderate effect of product and process innovation on student housing investment can be a predictor for future student housing investment innovation strategies for new entrants as they do not provide an immediate positive investment return. Key takeaways require management to incrementally implement these innovations and adopt space management practices that create opportunities for future product and process innovations in Ghana. Investors should capitalise on marketing and organisational innovations as the best innovation strategies that yield the highest returns in Ghana.Social implicationsStudent housing investors should focus on emerging student preferences such as entertainment, improved building services and Information Communication to stimulate student housing selection intentions.Originality/valueInnovation diffusion in student housing is understudied. The closest connection of innovation diffusion theory to product enhancement, marketing and managerial improvement is a strategic tool that facilitates efficiency and productivity in student housing investment.
