Abstract

ABSTRACT Social Venture Entrepreneurs (SVEs) invest in supply chains with the aim to ignite businesses, but with a vision on how to transfer ownership to third parties. The present study explores the definitions and forms of ownership envisioned by local stakeholders and the extent to which these are in line with the SVEs’ way of thinking. Using qualitative case study analysis, perceptions of legal and psychological ownership are compared between local stakeholders and social venture management in the specific context of a particular SVE initiative among local Maasai communities in northern Tanzania. It is concluded that different groups of stakeholders have different definitions of ownership forms, transfer and criteria. Social Venture Entrepreneurs will need to organize their definition of ownership around a perspective shared by its stakeholders, in order to realize the mission for which such businesses were initiated within regions that these businesses operate in.

社会风险企业家的所有权转让：坦桑尼亚北部的案例研究

社会风险企业家(SVEs)投资于供应链，目的是点燃企业，但对如何将所有权转移给第三方有一个愿景。本研究探讨了地方利益相关者所设想的所有权的定义和形式，以及这些定义和形式在多大程度上符合SVEs的思维方式。利用定性案例研究分析，在坦桑尼亚北部当地马赛社区的特定SVE倡议的特定背景下，比较了当地利益相关者和社会风险管理之间对法律和心理所有权的看法。不同的利益相关者群体对所有权形式、所有权转移和所有权标准有不同的定义。社会风险企业家需要围绕利益相关者共享的观点来组织他们对所有权的定义，以便在这些企业经营的地区内实现这些企业发起的使命。

期刊介绍： The beginning of the Twenty First Century has witnessed Africa’s rise and progress as one of the fastest growing and most promising regions of the world. At the same time, serious challenges remain. To sustain and speed up momentum, avoid reversal, and deal effectively with emerging challenges and opportunities, Africa needs better management scholarship, education and practice. The purpose of the Africa Journal of Management (AJOM) is to advance management theory, research, education, practice and service in Africa by promoting the production and dissemination of high quality and relevant manuscripts. AJOM is committed to publishing original, rigorous, scholarly empirical and theoretical research papers, which demonstrate clear understanding of the management literature and draw on Africa’s local indigenous knowledge, wisdom and current realities. As the first scholarly journal of the Africa Academy of Management (AFAM), AJOM gives voice to all those who are committed to advancing management scholarship, education and practice in or about Africa, for the benefit of all of Africa. AJOM welcomes manuscripts that develop, test, replicate or validate management theories, tools and methods with Africa as the starting point. The journal is open to a wide range of quality, evidence-based methodological approaches and methods that “link” “Western” management theories with Africa’s indigenous knowledge systems, methods and practice. We are particularly interested in manuscripts which address Africa’s most important development needs, challenges and opportunities as well as the big management questions of the day. We are interested in research papers which address issues of ethical conduct in different African settings.
