Abstract

Purpose

The paper aims to interpret sustainable regional development (SRD) as an exchange ecosystem in which stakeholders provide reciprocal access to resources, benefiting both individual and systemic levels. This paper suggests that knowledge, as a shared and value-transcribed critical resource, nourishes a community’s motivational system (CMS), orienting it toward SRD. This inherently raises questions regarding the nature of social business models (SBM) that can best support community’s motivational system, as well as their sustainable regional development derivatives.

Design/methodology/approach

This paper employs the Fuzzy Expert System (FES) to analyze companies participating in the three most representative Italian consortia, aiming to empirically address the knowledge gap regarding the influence of social business model on sustainable regional development.

Findings

Applying our theoretical framework to Agro-food Protection Consortia – a specific type of hybrid social, regional value-oriented business organization – this paper demonstrates that knowledge sharing along environmental, social and economic dimensions enhances sustainable regional development. Using the IF (condition) → THEN (action) logic of fuzzy method, the study identified knowledge exchange as a key condition motivating actors to contribute to sustainable regional development. This dynamic approach enables better alignment between stakeholders and regional goals.

Originality/value

This paper presents practicable participatory strategic guidelines that balance informal and formal governance mechanisms with the catalytic and enhancing connection of strategic business initiatives for Sustainable Regional Development.

企业和利益相关者之间的知识共享,以实现系统性和可持续的区域发展。农业食品领域的见解
本文旨在将可持续区域发展(SRD)解释为一个交换生态系统,在这个生态系统中,利益相关者提供相互获取资源的机会,使个人和系统层面都受益。本文认为,知识作为一种共享的、价值转录的关键资源,滋养了社区的激励系统(CMS),使其向SRD方向发展。这从本质上提出了关于社会商业模式(SBM)的性质的问题,这种模式可以最好地支持社区的激励系统,以及它们的可持续区域发展衍生品。设计/方法/方法本文采用模糊专家系统(FES)对意大利三个最具代表性的财团的参与公司进行分析,旨在实证地解决社会商业模式对区域可持续发展影响的知识缺口。本文将本文的理论框架应用于农业食品保护联盟——一种特殊类型的社会、区域价值导向的混合型商业组织——表明,环境、社会和经济维度的知识共享促进了区域的可持续发展。运用模糊方法的IF(条件)→THEN(行动)逻辑,研究发现知识交流是激励行动者为区域可持续发展做出贡献的关键条件。这种动态方法能够更好地协调利益相关者和区域目标。原创性/价值本文提出了切实可行的参与性战略指导方针,以平衡非正式和正式的治理机制,促进和加强可持续区域发展战略商业举措的联系。
