Do So

The final chapter synthesizes arguments from the book. We offer a systems approach that integrates the configuration and processes approaches, addressing the possible network designs needed for success and how the system must adapt to a changing environment. We do so by unpacking the axioms that underly our approach, integrating material from the rest of the book. We draw several implications for research and practice. We advocate a solution-science approach to the study of social impact networks. We argue that researchers need to test interventions to improve networks’ social impact and communicate the results widely. We contend that both funders and network instigators should pay attention to the nature of social issues (i.e., simple, complicated, complex, and chaotic) when writing requests for proposals and selecting a network design. The match between the type of social problem and the network design is critical to achieving social impact. We end the chapter with optimism and urgency. Not only do we think networks can be impactful if designed and managed well, but we also believe they must be impactful to address the most challenging issues of our time.

Focus On Results

This chapter suggests several reasons that networks fall short of social impact. First, it defines social impact as distinct from outcomes. Further, it indicates that networks may intentionally focus on results other than social impact. The chapter introduces a typology of social impact. Second, the chapter explores how the complexity of various social issues such as climate change or education typically involves diverse stakeholders who approach the problem differently. Social problems that are simple, obvious, or chaotic usually do not require a network response. In contrast, wicked problems that are complicated or complex benefit from network solutions. Throughout the chapter, various cases illustrate how networks might engage a social challenge and what outcomes may result. It includes a description and templates for root cause analysis.

The Social

Alternative tourism, specifically cultural tourism, has gained worldwide importance. This is reflected in the growing number of people preferring this type of leisure activity. However, and even though archaeological and religious contexts represent hubs of attraction for pilgrims and tourists, their development seems to generate social issues. The objective of this research is to analyse the social impact of cultural tourism, from the perspective of tradesmen living in the rural municipality of Tlaxcala, Mexico. Information was collected by surveys. Sample size was calculated using the non-probabilistic method (snowball), and 54 tradesmen owning establishments near tourist attractions, were interviewed. Results evidenced that tradesmen do perceive social problems including traffic congestion, increasing living costs, pollution, street vendors, and augmented competition between businesses. However, they appreciate the benefits of providing tourists with low-cost catering services, considering tourism to be positive or very positive. The conclusion is that economic benefits outweigh the social impacts generated by tourism. Highlights: The influx of pilgrims and tourists is generating some social problems in the receiving rural spaces. Tourism service providers derive little benefit due to the low-cost services in accommodation and meal offer to tourists. Social problems are increasing (road traffic, higher cost of living, pollution, street vendors) and greater competition between businesses. Tourist activity is considered good or very good since it contributes to local development.

Automobile Use

The case of alcohol abuse and automobile accidents illustrates the moral and political nature of social problems. Knowledge about the causation of automobile accidents is socially organized to document and confirm an image of the alcohol-impaired driver as a public threat. This individualistic definition of the causation of automobile accidents is sustained by various organizations and agencies which claim “ownership” of this social problem and assume political responsibility for its control. Rather than taking the preveiling conceptions of causality and responsibility for granted, consideration of alternative frameworks for defining public problems is an important task for sociological analysis as well as a promising means for policy change.

The Uk

Drawing on a study of UK national broadsheets, this article examines the emergence and spread of happiness as a social problem in the UK by drawing on the theoretical insights of social problem constructionism and related social movement theory in terms of the processual, rhetorical, and contextual factors involved in the construction, transmission, and institutionalisation of new social problems. In particular, issue ownership in the realm of process and flexible syntax, experiential commensurability, empirical credibility, and narrative fidelity in the realm of rhetoric are argued to have played an important role in the discursive spread of the happiness problem in this public arena. A socio-political context hospitable to de-politicised and highly personalised constructions of social issues is argued to have played a major contextual role in the construction of the ‘happiness problem’.

The Impact

Drawn upon field research in two peri-urban villages of Hanoi in 2014 and short re-visits recently, the research examines the widespread of gambling and other social issues in Hanoi’s urbanizing peri-urban communities which happened concurrently with the phenomenon of “land fever,” and at the time local villagers received compensation from land appropriation. The article aims to understand the impact of urbanization on these communities and the interface between urbanization and the increase of social problems. It argues that gambling, drug use, and other social problems have been existing in Vietnamese rural communities long before; however, when urbanization came, some people have higher chances to engage in these activities. Those are villagers who want to transform quickly into entrepreneurs or bosses by joining the “black credit” market and gambling. Together with middle-aged and old farmers who greatly relied on agricultural production and face difficulties in transforming their occupation, they formed the group of losers in the urbanization process.
