The Impact

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the social value food rescue enterprises can create for both their stakeholders and the wider community “in the meantime” whilst longer term solutions to the problems of insecurity and waste are sought. Design/methodology/approach FoodShare, a New Zealand urban-based social enterprise specialising in food redistribution, served as a case study for this research. Semi-structured interviews (n=13) were conducted with FoodShare staff and key stakeholder groups (food donors, financial donors, recipient agencies and volunteers). In addition, an anonymous online survey (n=40) was completed by the wider organisational volunteer network. The interview guides were structured around a new social value evaluation tool, Social Return on Investment, which is increasingly used to demonstrate the impact of such programmes. Deductive methods were used to code the resulting transcripts to identify key outcomes experienced by FoodShare’s stakeholders. Findings The outcomes of FoodShare’s work differed for the various stakeholders. For food donors, outcomes included “more involved relationships with community”, and “improved perceptions of corporate social responsibility”. Identified key outcomes for the financial donors included “key promotional opportunity” and “do something good”. For recipient agencies, important outcomes were “greater volume of food” and “increased reach”. Volunteers reported “meeting new people”, “a sense of accomplishment in helping others” and “learning new skills”. There were also a number of nutritional and environmental outcomes for the wider community. Originality/value Given the dearth of evidence on the societal value that is created in redistributing unsold food to people in need, this novel perspective makes a significant contribution to the literature in this area.

Public Demand

The affordable housing is not allocated by the market and therefore the value of it can not be promoted by any effective market competition. Because of a lack of value evaluation in implementing the affordable housing project, the mechanism of value evaluation should be introduced into the process of making and implementing policies for the affordable housing project. To satisfy the public demand, the affordable housing embodies government’s social responsibility and thus the preliminary function is to realize its social value. A priority should be steadfastly given to the evaluation of its social value. By means of social value evaluation, we can make full use of its value-oriented function and hopefully maximize the social value of the affordable housing project.

Creating Shared Value

Numerous scholars have noted social issues such as inequality and insufficient social capital as limitations of efficiency-oriented neoliberal development strategies. In this context, the Moon Jae-in administration in South Korea declared social value as the core value of the state. Therefore, public institutions are required to prioritize social value. Beyond ideological discussions, these social and policy changes suggest the need for concrete discussions on how to practically realize social value. Public institutions have strengthened their social responsibility, contributing to local communities and low-income groups. However, companies often consider social responsibility a cost, which impedes growth. As public enterprises, a type of public institution, have the characteristics of a company, their inherent goals of profitability or entrepreneurship may be limited by enhancing publicness to realize social value. Therefore, public enterprises face the challenge of realizing social value in a way that benefits both society and business. To devise measures to realize social value by strengthening publicness while ensuring profitability, this study focuses on Creating Shared Value (CSV), which benefits both companies and society. Publicness and profitability, two values that public enterprises pursue, are discussed, and Corporate Social Responsiblilty (CSR) is compared with the CSV perspective, which aims to benefit both. This study devises measures from the CSV perspective for realizing social value in the Korea Expressway Corporation, a public enterprise. Implications for other public enterprises are highlighted. Points for practitioners As the need for public institutions to solve social issues has increased, public enterprises face the challenge of realizing social value while ensuring profitability. In this context, this study took the CSV approach and conducted a case study on the Korea Expressway Corporation to present plans for public enterprises to create social value by fulfilling their purpose. By suggesting a process and detailed projects from the CSV perspective, this study will help practitioners to create social value tailored to the characteristics of each public enterprise.

The Impact

The present research examines the social value attributed to endorsing the belief in a just world for self (BJW-S) and for others (BJW-O) in a Western society. We conducted four studies in which we asked participants to assess a target who endorsed BJW-S vs. BJW-O either strongly or weakly. Results showed that endorsement of BJW-S was socially valued and had a greater effect on social utility judgments than it did on social desirability judgments. In contrast, the main effect of endorsement of BJW-O was to reduce the target’s social desirability. The results also showed that the effect of BJW-S on social utility is mediated by the target’s perceived individualism, whereas the effect of BJW-S and BJW-O on social desirability is mediated by the target’s perceived collectivism.
