Abstract

This article aims to examine crucial elements that provide a platform for the success of Indigenous businesses based on customary land, drawing on case studies from Fiji. A qualitative, ethnographic, three case study approach was conducted, and talanoa (discussion or talking together in groups or between two people) method was used to collect data guided by the Vanua Research Framework. Four significant themes unfolded from the study in terms of essential strategies for the success of the businesses on customary land: following protocols for safe cultural affiliation of the business; practices of people working collectively; making socio-cultural contributions to the community and contributing to employee well-being. The research implies that Indigenous businesses on customary land tend to define success from a cultural viewpoint that differs from how business success is conventionally defined.
土著企业在习惯土地上取得成功的战略:三家Itaukei(斐济土著)企业的案例研究
本文以斐济的案例研究为基础,探讨为传统土地上的土著企业提供成功平台的关键因素。采用定性、人种学、三个案例研究方法,并采用talanoa(小组或两人之间的讨论或交谈)方法,在Vanua研究框架的指导下收集数据。从研究中揭示了四个重要的主题,即在习惯土地上取得企业成功的基本策略:遵循企业安全文化归属的协议;人们集体工作的做法;为社区做出社会文化贡献,为员工福利做出贡献。研究表明,习惯土地上的土著企业倾向于从文化角度来定义成功,这与传统上对商业成功的定义不同。
