This article addresses these challenges by focusing on the concept of <em>generativity</em>: a platform’s ability to expand product and ecosystem boundaries, thereby unlocking the potential economies of scale and scope. Drawing on experiences from both small and large online retail platforms, we outline an extended set of strategic actions to foster generativity by engaging consumers (e.g., facilitating consumer creativity), complementors (e.g., creating open marketplaces), and their cross-sided interactions (e.g., extending interaction along consumer journeys). For each strategy, we provide practical, actionable recommendations that platform owners can implement to expand their product offerings and add new functions and services to improve interactions between participants. By emphasizing the importance of integrating the contributions of both consumers and complementors, these strategies foster a dynamic and innovative platform ecosystem, which is crucial for the sustained growth and competitiveness of online retailers.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48347,"journal":{"name":"Business Horizons","volume":"68 5","pages":"Pages 601-612"},"PeriodicalIF":7.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141840795","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article delves into this issue by first examining the concept of authoritarian capitalism. Authoritarian capitalism is characterized by a dominant economic system that favors private property and for-profit production but restricts access to finance, contracts, and investment opportunities on the basis of political loyalty to the ruling government. Economic policies and governance prioritize the regime’s desire to retain power rather than maximizing societal benefits. Furthermore, this article examines the cases of Venezuela and El Salvador, each of which have each taken distinct trajectories toward authoritarian capitalism. Despite differences in their approaches, in both cases, democratic spaces that allowed business advocacy and local initiatives have been gradually closed. Often, the closure of these democratic spaces is a condition to accessing economic opportunities. Hence, the advent of authoritarian capitalism poses deep challenges for businesses. Lastly, this article concludes by proposing ways for businesses to confront the decline of democracy and the emergence of authoritarian capitalism.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48347,"journal":{"name":"Business Horizons","volume":"68 4","pages":"Pages 413-424"},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144280245","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Even organizations that aspire to positive social and environmental impacts toward peacebuilding find their ambitions thwarted when global frameworks must be translated into the messy and chaotic conditions on the ground.

This article uses the Indonesian context to explore the foreign MNC-conflict relationship in the manufacturing sector and to add nuance to existing debates on the potential of MNCs in providing peacebuilding support via their investment or operational impacts or their potential negative effects. We analyze the effects of various dimensions of corporate investment-based presence on violent conflicts, utilizing a cross-sectional model at the district level. We find that in industrial subsectors that are upward in the value chain, intensive in raw materials, and entail low-skilled work (e.g., heavy industries, food and tobacco), foreign firm presence exacerbates local violent conflicts. Results in other sectors further down the value chain confirm the potentially positive role of MNCs in peacebuilding. These findings are also relevant to the wider CSR literature in that the relationships between host countries and MNCs in fragile or conflict-ridden areas are more complex than previously acknowledged, calling for additional research into sector-specific variances on business impacts in fragile and conflict-affected settings.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48347,"journal":{"name":"Business Horizons","volume":"68 4","pages":"Pages 425-438"},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144280274","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet many operate in a state of precarity, navigating informality, insecurity, and contentious political contexts. Connecting small business, entrepreneurship, and political economy perspectives, this article considers how small businesses negotiate urban insecurity and political violence and the social roles they may play in supporting peace and development in rapidly urbanizing and politically contested cities. Drawing on semistructured interviews with micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), owners, and interviews with key informants in politics, business, and academia, this article examines small business agency, collective action, and experiences of insecurity in two districts in Kampala, Uganda. Our results suggest that both insecurity and peace are often conceptualized in economic and personal terms by MSMEs rather than in relation to the presence and absence of violence. Moreover, while there is some scope for collective action by MSMEs to address these conditions, they are also constrained in their agency by the broader nature of the political economy of the city. We conclude by discussing implications for urban policy and management practice.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48347,"journal":{"name":"Business Horizons","volume":"68 4","pages":"Pages 525-539"},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144280281","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
