Social License to Operate—A Critical Success Factor in Realising Impact from Research Infrastructure
摘要
Since publication of Adam Smith’s Wealth of Nations (1776), modern business has been structured on one objective alone: to increase profit for its shareholders. This shareholder model is recognised in the development of a range of strategic management practices and models, such as Norton and Kaplan’s strategy maps. Equivalent models can be adopted for non-profit organisations and research infrastructures, where profit for shareholders is measured rather in terms of a value proposition being delivered to its shareholders.
