Purpose This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings This research paper examines coopetition strategies for social enterprises. The study's coopetition framework consists of four strategic stages: (1) a social incubator inducing coopetition between social enterprises; (2) coopetition boosting market performance; (3) coopetition emerging naturally from social enterprises' activities; and (4) a coopetition framework for social entrepreneurship being formed. These strategies demonstrate that social enterprises want to increasingly cooperate, but also have to compete with each other for volunteers and to make their products stand out. Ultimately, this balanced coopetition is what maximizes the social value that these enterprises supply to communities.

Purpose – This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach – This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings – Entrepreneurialism has a significant role to play in the economic development of a nation. Its importance is magnified within countries where the economy can be said to be still at some stage of emergence. Russia ticks some of the right boxes in this respect thanks to legacies from its Soviet past. Such influences are evident in the bureaucracy, legislation and taxation mechanisms that combine to stifle enterprise due to their comprehensiveness and unpredictability. Amid the prevailing uncertain climate, efficient social and economic systems are considerably harder to develop and implement. In light of the current situation, a new brand of social entrepreneurship has started to emerge in Russia. Practical implications – The paper provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world’s leading organizations.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the influence of extrinsic factors, namely, age, education, gender, marital status and income on customers’ intention to support Islamic social enterprises via donation. The paper also assesses the influence of religiosity on support intention (SI). The impact of customers’ perceptual reaction to the credibility of social enterprises’ advertising is also measured to assess its influence on SI. Design/methodology/approach – A total of 214 completed questionnaires from online and offline surveys were analysed using several statistical analyses, including structural equation modelling, to assess the effects of the independent variables on SI. Findings – The study found that customers’ socioeconomic status and religiosity have no significant influence on their intention to channel their donations via Islamic social enterprises. It is the social enterprises’ advertising which significantly influences their SI. Research limitations/implications – The study focuses on an Islamic research context of social entrepreneurship. Thus, the results cannot be generalised directly to the non-Islamic social entrepreneurship context. Practical implications – Findings of the study suggest that organisations should develop effective communication strategies through advertising to highlight organisational credibility as it plays an important role in shaping customers’ attitudes and intentions. Originality/value – The study investigates the effects of marketing on customers’ SI. It also considers credibility, advertising, and the concept of branding in a context of social entrepreneurship, a concept that is still largely unexplored in the literature.

Not the art of conversation, which changed sometime in the mid-1970s if our parents are to be believed, but the status of conversation itself. Discussion, argument, discourse and verbal jousting are no longer deemed real enough to matter very much. Unless, of course, they occur online and are witnessed by thousands of people.

Findings – Most people watching the movie The Social Network of course realized that the stereotyped, cliched view of the nerdy computer genius creating the world’s biggest online conversation in the shape of Facebook was probably exaggerated. But since when did Hollywood let reality shine its light when there are stereotypes and cliches to develop? To be fair to the producers, they did have some strong material in the public domain to play with – cue the Winklevoss twins – and the “nerd makes good” storyline is simply a digital realization of the American Dream. Practical implications – The paper provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world’s leading organizations.
