Background: Shared value creation in base of the pyramid (BoP) communities is a crucial process towards building sustainable societies. BoP communities in developing countries represent more than 4 billion people who live on low incomes with limited access to basic products and services. Current or emerging technologies offer promising solutions for organisations pursuing manufacturing opportunities in BoP communities. This study seeks to explore the literature on how BoP communities may become active participants in sustainably manufacturing products using micro-manufacturing factories. The research question posed is: What are the core concepts that need to be taken into consideration for creating shared value through micro-manufacturing factories in BoP communities? Method: A systematised literature review (SLR) was completed following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) method for data selection criteria and analysis. The SLR is used to explore the state of literature with regards to creating manufacturing shared value in BoP communities with the objective to identify study gaps and to explore manufacturing shared value creation concepts. Results: Literature indicates initiatives to engage BoP communities through various innovation strategies. The findings of the review are organised under three strategic pillars: capability building strategy, implementation process, and growth strategy. The capability building strategy defines the users’ intention to create shared value in BoP communities with micro-manufacturing factories (MMF). It is followed by the implementation process which guides the users to create manufacturing shared value in BoP communities. This is followed by a growth strategy to scale for impact.

PurposeAlthough innovation ecosystems (IEs) are generally considered capable of creating shared value (SV), this potentiality has often been taken for granted and not deeply analysed, yet. As a result, in the literature, there is not a framework that defines the process of SV creation in IEs or which aspects should be considered for understanding it. Moving from these considerations, this paper aims to propose a conceptual model of how IEs can create SV, identifying the main building blocks of the process and the aspects that characterize these building blocks.Design/methodology/approachThe authors reviewed the literature on IEs and value creation over the last 15 years, by structurally analysing 120 articles. On the basis of such review, the authors identified main dimensions of analysis focusing on the conceptualization of SV in IEs.FindingsFirst, the authors developed a conceptual model relying on a process-based logic and framing the SV creation in terms of inputs, here intended as four key characteristics (actors, structure, governance and relations), internal processes (strategies and internal mechanisms) and outputs (the value created). Second, each element of value creation is explored, highlighting the main evidence emerging from prior studies in connection to each block.Originality/valueThis paper drives the identification of some relevant relationships that connect the characteristics of the IEs, the strategies and the internal mechanisms to the output of the process, i.e. the SV created.

O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar como o modelo de negócios sociais se relaciona com as estratégias de criação de valor compartilhado propostas por Porter e Kramer (2011). Para atingi-lo, optou-se pela realização de um estudo de caso múltiplo em dois negócios sociais do setor de educação e tecnologia que atuam no Brasil, que teve como técnicas de coleta de dados a pesquisa documental e a entrevista semiestruturada. Os resultados apontaram que nos modelos de negócios sociais analisados estão implícitas as estratégias de criação de valor compartilhado, pois para atender as necessidades dos mercados em que atuam, os de pessoas de baixa renda e/ou com necessidades especiais, essas organizações precisaram oferecer produtos distintos daqueles que são ofertados em mercados tradicionais. Além disso, esses negócios sociais necessitaram de uma estrutura de operações e competências que contribuíssem para a redução de custos e geração de impacto social; e de um ambiente externo que apoiasse suas atividades para que os benefícios sociais e econômicos pudessem ser disseminados.Palavras-chave: Negócios sociais. Modelo de negócio. Estratégias de criação de valor compartilhado.ABSTRACTThe purpose of this study was to analyze how the social business model relates to the shared value creation strategies proposed by Porter and Kramer (2011). Thus, it was conducting a multiple case study in two social businesses of the education and technology sector operating in Brazil, which had as data collection techniques the documentary research and the semi-structured interview. The results pointed out that the social business models analyzed are implicit in shared value creation strategies because to meet the needs of the markets in which they operate, those of low-income and people with special needs, these organizations had to offer different products those provided in traditional markets. Also, these social businesses required a structure of operations and competencies that contributed to cost reduction and social impact generation; and an external environment that supports their activities to disseminate social and economic benefits.Keywords: Social Business. Business model. Strategies for creating shared value.

PurposeThis paper aims to move beyond the limits of creating shared value (CSV) by presenting a norms-driven framework for creating shared value.Design/methodology/approachThis paper combines insights from organizational studies and philosophy to critique CSV and to articulate an alternative model for integrating the pursuit of profit with social needs and demands.FindingsCSV poses significant challenges for managers due to the problem of bounded rationality. Rather than merely engaging in a logic of consequence, this paper argues that managers should integrate norms-based reasoning within the cognitive process of strategic management.Originality/valueThis paper critiques an existing framework for creating shared value and proposes a new framework.

The research goal of this paper is to identify the possibility to transform the concept of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) towards the concept of Creating Shared Value (CSV) in agribusiness. In the paper, both concepts are compared and the ways of their application are exemplified. A literature review and summative content analysis have been used to study CSR reports of four leading food companies in Poland. The study enabled the exemplification of good practices of shared value creation in the analysed agribusiness entities which publish information on their social impact. It concludes that the implementation of a new CSV approach is an important challenge for agribusiness companies. There are many areas where economic value can be augmented by new approach applications in agribusiness. Unfocused philanthropy, in the form of charitable donations and volunteering, should be replaced by the direct activity of companies aimed at solving social and environmental problems of agribusiness. Companies should make more effort towards shared value creation focused on reconceiving products and markets, redefining productivity in the value chain and building supportive agribusiness clusters. Some good practices presented in this study already are implemented. It contributes to identifying and gaining insight into the process of superseding CSR by the CSV approach in agribusiness, in Poland. This paper brings the discussion about social responsibility in agribusiness to a new level.

Purpose<br/> The purpose of this paper is to offer a greater understanding of creating shared value (CSV) in socioeconomically deprived regions. It aims to develop a normative organisational framework of shared value creation using corporate social responsibility (CSR) ideologies, to help managers design firm level CSR initiatives for use in socioeconomically deprived regions, where it is needed more.<br/> Design/methodology/approach<br/> We conducted an in-depth case study of Company X - an industry leader in the controversial paper and pulp manufacturing sector in Indonesia - drawing on multiple evidence sources, including interviews with 92 stakeholders and a review of secondary data.<br/> Findings<br/> Our study presents a context-embedded organisational CSR framework for companies operating in socioeconomically deprived regions that signifies the need for normative principles of strategic and philanthropic CSR to work 'in parallel', to create shared value in a real sense to benefit both the businesses and the society. The framework further highlights the need to address certain contextual challenges that impact on the creation of shared value in socioeconomically deprived regions, including managing stakeholder expectations, regularly communicating with stakeholders, and staff capacity building for reporting on CSR and measuring performance.<br/> Originality/value<br/> Incorporating perspectives from the Global South that reflect the experiences of a company operating in a developing country, our findings provide a useful addition to the debate on shared value creation in socioeconomically deprived regions. In doing so, our study broadens and shifts the focus on shared value creation from a managerial perspective or single project perspective to an organisational perspective.

This study examines whether intragroup cooperation outperforms intragroup competition. Intragroup cooperation is a work setting when individuals in a group perceive that their goal attainments are positively related; while intragroup competition is a work setting when individuals in a group perceive that their goal attainments are negatively related. Performance is defined as group productivity level, speed of solving problems, and quality of the group outcomes.Meta-analytical method is used to test the hypothesis. The method combines and compares eight studies from various research disciplines i.e., education, psychology, organization, and business and accounting. The studies being analyzed also vary in terms of the research and experimental setting such as manufacturing operations and problem solving games.Meta-analytical study is relatively rare in Indonesia, so that this study is important to introduce and to show the importance and the benefit of the analysis for concluding a large number and different research in a similar domain of research question.  In a simple term, a meta-analysis is a quantitative literature review. However, the analysis has a more powerful procedure (than the conventional literature review) to indicate more clearly, and in quantitative terms, the consistency, the differences and similarities of previous studies.The author found that intragroup cooperation outperforms intragroup competition is held across different experimental subject educational backgrounds such as education, psychology, and business and accounting. However, the extent of the difference in performance is higher in the subjects with psychology background than that of the subjects with business and accounting background. The reason is that business and accounting subjects are more exposed to competitive environments than those whose backgrounds are psychology and sociology.
