In response, we interviewed business leaders/practicing managers and fielded a nationally representative survey of 1,062 businesses in the US (in partnership with the Society for Human Resource Management). Based on our findings, we developed an innovative, two-dimensional framework (i.e., the Equity of Employment Systems Framework) that addresses the root causes of workplace inequity. Rather than focusing solely on an overall measure of equity for an organization, this framework focuses on seven systemic components (i.e., levers for change) that measure and impact equity in an organization’s 10 employment systems. Levels of equity vary greatly among the 10 employment systems within organizations: recruitment and hiring, compensation and benefits, and orientation and onboarding represent the strongest measures of equity. In contrast, supervision and mentoring, job structures, and resources and supports are the least equitable. To help managers strengthen the equity of their employment systems, we outline a five-step process based on our proposed framework. This five-step process can advance equity within organizations and create more inclusive, agile, and innovative businesses.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48347,"journal":{"name":"Business Horizons","volume":"68 3","pages":"Pages 241-252"},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143907936","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}

However, in such contexts, the exercise of authority often differs from the assumptions implicit in the Weberian configurations of the state. As a result, local, informal, and nonstate actors unrecognized as formal authorities (e.g., militias, gangs, insurgents, and local organizations and groups possessing localized authority) may exercise governmental authority on those within their sphere of control. These informal authorities have become known in the literature as hybrid political orders. Against this backdrop, companies find that while establishing a formal agreement with state institutions is a significant precondition to operate legitimately in hybrid political orders, it is also necessary to engage with actors that exercise informal forms of authority to secure their social license to operate. However, tensions between these forms of authority can draw companies into a web of conflict and pose significant risks to their operations. Drawing examples from the Niger Delta, this article discusses how interactions between formal and informal authority actors in postconflict contexts can produce different contextual outcomes (e.g., contestation and collaboration) with their own risks to company operations. I offer guidance on how firms can leverage their positions as bridge builders to forge collaboration among contesting actors to reduce violence and manage conflict.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48347,"journal":{"name":"Business Horizons","volume":"68 4","pages":"Pages 515-524"},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144280280","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}

The latter is particularly challenging because ex-combatants are highly stigmatized, lack training for formal employment, and must reconcile with their host communities. We posit that the path of entrepreneurship enables ex-combatants to achieve both requirements, thereby preventing future violence. We argue that entrepreneurship affects community violence levels through two causal paths: the direct effect that opening a business has on the entrepreneur and employees, and the indirect effect that a transformed economy, society, and politics have on members of the larger community. We present new data on ex-combatant entrepreneurial projects and examine their relationship to local victimization risks. We find that inclusive hiring practices and partnerships with civil society make local spaces more peaceful. The results have implications for DDR and suggest there is an important role for small, local businesses in building peace and prosperity.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48347,"journal":{"name":"Business Horizons","volume":"68 4","pages":"Pages 479-490"},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144280277","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. In this article, we outline an approach using forward-looking human security partnerships between business and local stakeholders to identify and assess the potential peace value and risks of business interventions as they materialize over time. Next, we outline lessons from Colombia and the Democratic Republic of Congo and suggest how businesses can use novel governance arrangements to design and measure social impacts that build peace via improvements to human security.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48347,"journal":{"name":"Business Horizons","volume":"68 4","pages":"Pages 501-513"},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144280279","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}

What we do not know is how firms survive through a series of intersecting and overlapping crises (i.e., a polycrisis environment) and how their strategies differ when operating amid perpetual crises. In Lebanon, overlapping crises grounded in weak political institutions, economic instability, and disasters have profoundly impacted small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Beirut SMEs operate in a complex urban environment, where neighboring conflicts, urban insecurity, and sectarian divisions impact operations. These firms are often promoted in economic development discourses as engines of resilient livelihood creation, but do SMEs negotiate these conditions in productive ways for the community, and can a perpetual crisis operating mentality deliver positive societal or economic dividends? This article addresses these questions by developing a framework that conceptualizes SME strategies for perpetual crises that draws on 34 in-depth qualitative interviews with SME owners in Beirut. We found that SMEs use nuanced strategies to contend with multidimensional crises that are distinct from singular crisis approaches and discuss how urban crises may shape our understanding of SMEs as peace and development actors. We use these findings to advance theory on the role of SMEs in perpetual crisis and on how survival strategies in such settings can upend business resilience.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48347,"journal":{"name":"Business Horizons","volume":"68 4","pages":"Pages 461-477"},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144280276","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}
