Creating Sustainable Local Enterprise Networks
內容大綱
This is an MIT Sloan Management Review article. The authors analyzed 50 cases of successful sustainable enterprise in developing countries and developed a conceptual framework called the Sustainable Local Enterprise Network (SLEN) model. Successful sustainable enterprises in developing countries often involve informal networks that include businesses, not-for-profit organizations, and local communities. These networks can lead to virtuous cycles of reinvestment in an area's financial, social, human, and ecological capital. Successful SLENs require at least one business enterprise to ensure the network's financial sustainability and serve as its anchor; however, a cooperative or a profitable social enterprise launched by a nongovernmental organization may play that anchor role. Although multinational corporations were sometimes part of the SLENs studied, entrepreneurs, nonprofits, and sustainable local businesses were more common. Concludes with recommendations for fostering the development of SLENs, such as setting up training programs in sustainable entrepreneurship in developing countries.
