Opening New Pathways for Development: An Exploration into Community Economies

<p>This research explores community economies as a way of practicing development differently. The community economy framework has arisen out of post-development critiques which highlight how some development practices have discursively and practically created linear understandings of economic development. In contrast, the community economy framework involves highlighting the many economic practices and community assets that currently sustain people and suggests that multiple possible pathways to improved wellbeing can be imagined from these local beginnings. The approach seeks to prioritise neither local nor foreign practices, but encourages critical public discussion around which activities could be built on to improve community wellbeing. This research draws on my experiences engaging with the communities of San Miguel and Yachakay in Bolivia between March and June 2010, and contributes to the dialogue on the community economy approach as a way to practice development. I have explored how this process of negotiating research in the field affects research outcomes. Throughout the process of exploring community economies I faced a number of challenges in negotiating the research in the field. This thesis is grounded in feminist and indigenous methodological approaches that recommend the researcher seek ways to transfer power and benefits to the researched in locally relevant ways. Yet very few works address the process of negotiation required to achieve this. My experience shows that by uncovering this often glossed over process, insights can be gained into the complex ways the researched assert power in research contexts, and thus assert power over research outcomes. This research explores the viability of researching community economies within a Masters framework. My approach in San Miguel involved collecting data though semi-structured interviews, informal conversations and a reflective research journal. However my research in San Miguel was cut short. In the new location, Yachakay, I added a Participatory Action Research approach to my methodological tool kit. Other attempts to build community economies have involved significant budgets, experience and community engagement periods. While my approaches to building community economies in Bolivia were restricted by the relatively short Masters thesis timeframe, limited funding and my novice researcher status, the experience was not completely fruitless. I believe that benefits were gained both by researched and researcher through this exploration of community economies.</p>

An integrated Fuzzy DEMATEL and Fuzzy Cognitive Maps approach for the assessing of the Industry 4.0 Model

Today, organizations are experiencing problems due to advancements in the environment, community, economy, and technology. In the future, physical and virtual systems, including the whole chain from product design to the distribution to customers and feedback will be required to overcome problems for organizations. Thus, companies need to comprehend and apply Industry 4.0. The most frequently encountered situation in the literature is the absence of research based on the practical experience of Industry 4.0 processes. In this study, the analysis of 9 concepts (Strategy, Leadership, Customers, Products, Operations, Culture, People, Governance, and Technology) is performed by utilizing the fuzzy DEMATEL and fuzzy AHP methods. As a result of both methods, Technology, Operations and Strategy concepts are obtained as the three most important concepts in the same rank in both methods. There is no significant change in the rank of the other concepts. Although close rankings are obtained from both methods, considering the interaction between the concepts and avoid shortcomings of consensus in the method, the ranking obtained by the fuzzy DEMATEL method is preferred to use as input in Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCMs). Then a relation map is formed based on their interaction and three alternative scenarios are created for FCMs from defuzzified total relation matrix data. As a result of scenarios, it is more useful for organizations to apply the Industry 4.0 processes to transfer their resources to their activities concerning the Strategies, Technology, and Operations concepts. The aim is to predict the maturity levels of Industry 4.0 of organizations for the future by employing the FCMs methodology. Thanks to the introduced model based on the integration of fuzzy DEMATEL and FCMs, an insight is provided into which concepts should be prioritized about Industry 4.0.

Social enterprises and community wellbeing in regional Australia

This article reflects on a research project that has mapped the ways in which social enterprises in regional Australian cities produce wellbeing for their employees. The majority of enterprises in this study offer supported work opportunities to people with a disability while also running commercially viable enterprises delivering goods and services to regional communities. These enterprises demonstrate the challenges and the potential for organisations in regional settings to contribute in meaningful ways, not only to the wellbeing of the workers they support, but to the wellbeing of the broader community. This article considers how social enterprises are understood to be contributing to regional communities and situates them as key actors in a community economy that contributes to wider community wellbeing as distinct from individual wellbeing.
