Article 1 Name: Nation building, community development and poverty alleviation; CSR rhetoric in development countries. •Link (permalink preferred): https://www.researchgate.net/publication/259892223_Nation_building_community_development_and_poverty_alleviation_CSR_rhetoric_in_developing_countries •Keywords (listed in abstract): · Nation building · Community development · Poverty alleviation · Developing countries · Globalization · CSR managers · Community-building · Volunteerism · Public-private partnerships •Authors (source authors and any prevalent authors listed in reference or cited in-text): Responsabilidade social corporativa: o caso das empresas em Timor-Leste, October 2022 Thesis for: Ph.D Advisor: Carla Freire, Ph. D, Manuel BritoManuel Brito •Methodology (quantitative or qualitive approach used to research explained): The research approach is qualitative. The author mentions using a case study approach to gain a holistic understanding of the problem and to analyze how the organization represents itself through its organizational discourse. The analysis involves examining the content of Gawad Kalinga's website, associated materials, and media texts. The focus is on exploring how discourse constructs social identities, subject positions, social relationships, and systems of knowledge and beliefs. •Results (discoveries/ conclusions): The research concludes that CSR communication in developing countries, such as the Philippines, emphasizes nation building, community development, and poverty alleviation. Not-for-profit organizations adapt message strategies for multiple stakeholders, while the private sector incorporates cultural values. Religion plays a role in Southeast Asian CSR. Strong collaboration is needed among government, enterprises, and civil society. Future research can explore decision-making in community development, gendered discourses, and the power of marginalized communities. NGOs facilitate capacity building, but true social transformation relies on active participation and engagement of the people. Communication is vital, and organizations should enable conversations for meaningful change. •Implications (how this affects project management): · Stakeholder Engagement: Project managers need to prioritize stakeholder engagement and collaboration by recognizing the importance of multiple stakeholders, including government, enterprises, NGOs, and civil society, project managers should facilitate meaningful communication and foster partnerships to ensure project success. · Cultural Compassion: Understanding and incorporating cultural values in project planning and communication strategies is crucial. Project managers must be sensitive to local cultural contexts, especially in developing countries, and adapt their approaches accordingly to effectively engage stakeholders and achieve project objectives. · Gender Considerations: Project managers should be attentive of gender dynamics and ensure equitable participation and benefits within project initiatives. · Collaborative Governance: Understanding the local dynamics of the partnerships and ensuring their sustainability is essential for effective project management. · Empowering Marginalized Communities: Project managers should identify the agency and power of marginalized communities in driving social transformation. Therefore, they must prioritize community engagement, active participation, and inclusive decision-making processes to empower these communities and achieve sustainable project outcomes. •Recommendation for future research (often found in conclusion): · In-depth Analysis of Decision-making Processes: Furthermore, research should delve into the decision-making processes in community development initiatives. · Intersection of CSR Communication, Community Development, and Gender: More research is needed to explore the gendered discourses within CSR communication and community development. · Long-term Sustainability of Public-Private Partnerships: Future research must focus on examine the long-term sustainability and effectiveness of public-private partnerships in driving CSR initiatives and community development by assessing the outcomes, challenges, and best practices of such collaborations will provide guidance for project managers in navigating these partnerships successfully. · Evaluation of the Power Dynamics and Empowerment of Marginalized Communities: Moreover, research should focus on evaluating the power dynamics within project management practices and the actual empowerment of marginalized communities. · Comparative Analysis of CSR Communication in Different Cultural Contexts: Comparative studies analyzing CSR communication practices across different cultural contexts, particularly in developing countries, will provide insights into the effectiveness of various approaches and strategies. Article 2 Name: Local Economic Development as a Catalyst in Poverty Reduction in South Africa: A Systematic Review of Literature · Link (permalink preferred): https://www.researchgate.net/publication/346715462_Local_Economic_Development_as_a_Catalyst_in_Poverty_Reduction_in_South_Africa_A_Systematic_Review_of_Literature · Keywords (listed in abstract): · Local Economic Development, · empowerment, · socio-economic. · Authors (source authors and any prevalent authors listed in reference or cited in-text): · Rodríguez-Pose and Tijmstra (2005) · (Jackson et al., 2010) · Kochanova, 2015 · Methodology (quantitative or qualitive approach used to research explained): The methodology used in this research was qualitative. The research relied on secondary data, specifically a systematic review and contextualization of existing literature on the topic of local economic development (LED) and its role in poverty reduction in the South African context. The research drew upon studies by various authors and explored the relationship between LED projects and poverty reduction. By analyzing and synthesizing available information, including analysis, commentary, opinion pieces, and scholarly contributions, the study aimed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the subject. The qualitative approach allowed for a contextual exploration and drawing conclusions from a wide range of sources. · Results (discoveries/ conclusions): The research highlights several key findings. Despite the South African government's recognition of local economic development (LED) as a strategic framework for poverty reduction, poverty remains persistent. This is attributed to various factors such as a lack of understanding of LED, insufficient human capacity in communities, corruption in local municipalities, infrastructure deficiencies, and inadequate stakeholder participation. To address these challenges, the article recommends increased collaboration between the private sector and the government in financing LED projects and providing infrastructure, particularly in remote and rural areas. Business-based training should be facilitated to develop sustainable local businesses, complementing LED's goals of job creation, poverty alleviation, economic growth, and skills development. The article also suggests benchmarking LED initiatives against successful examples from developed countries and strengthening anti-corruption laws at the municipal level. Additionally, skills capacitation and the identification of unique economic avenues within localities are recommended. · Implications (how this affects project management): · Project managers need to have a comprehensive understanding of LED as a concept and its role in poverty reduction. This concept will enable them to design and implement effective projects that align with LED objectives. · Project team should be aware of the challenges and complexities associated with LED, including issues such as corruption, infrastructure deficiencies, and stakeholder participation. · Project managers must foster collaboration and partnerships between the private sector and the government. The involvement of the private sector in financing LED projects and providing necessary infrastructure can enhance the impact and sustainability of these initiatives. · Project team need to prioritize capacity building and skills development within local communities. This includes providing business training and enhancing literacy, numeracy, and communication skills to empower individuals to actively participate in LED projects and operate their own businesses. · Project team also explore successful LED initiatives in other countries and learn from their experiences. Benchmarking against developed countries and building international collaborations can contribute to the effectiveness and innovation of LED project management. · Recommendation for future research (often found in conclusion): · Future research must focus on evaluating the outcomes and impact of LED projects in reducing poverty and promoting economic growth. · Conducting comparative studies that analyze LED initiatives in countries with successful poverty reduction outcomes can provide valuable insights and lessons for South Africa. · Additionally, research is needed to understand the impact of governance structures, policies, and anti-corruption measures on the success of LED projects. · Investigating the integration of new technologies, digital platforms, and innovation-driven approaches in LED projects can enhance their effectiveness and impact. · Moreover, research should focus on assessing the long-term sustainability of LED interventions and their ability to create lasting impacts on poverty reduction. Article 3 Name: THE FOURTH PILLAR OF SUSTAINABILITY Culture’s essential role n public planning · Link (permalink preferred): https://www.researchgate.net/publication/200029531_The_Fourth_Pillar_of_Sustainability_Culture's_essential_role_in_public_planning · Keywords (listed in abstract): · Sustainability · Wellbeing · Diversity · Creativity and innovation · Authors (source authors and any prevalent authors listed in reference or cited in-text): · Mark Schoor May 2023 · Francisco Javier Alvarez-Torres May 2023 · Angelo Ruggieri, Stella Lippolis, May 2023 · Methodology (quantitative or qualitive approach used to research explained): This research was based on qualitative research approach. To enhance the effectiveness of public planning, it is essential to incorporate an integrated framework for evaluating cultural aspects, similar to the methodologies used for assessing social, environmental, and economic impacts. By including cultural evaluation within the planning process, a more comprehensive understanding of the societal impacts can be achieved, leading to more informed decision-making and the promotion of cultural well-being alongside other crucial dimensions of sustainability. · Results (discoveries/ conclusions): The research article majorly focused on current usage and understanding of culture by the government in its planning, service delivery, and evaluation activities are limited, primarily focusing on artistic matters. This narrow focus hinders the recognition of culture's broader value
