This paper explores how entrepreneurial legacies can have broader social impact beyond the identity of founders, the organization that they created, or their own philanthropic activity. Thus, we illustrate how, in the South African context, social entrepreneuring may be understood as the values-driven, relational brokering of societal legacies amongst a variety of entrepreneurs. At the heart of th
With the increased loss of control over the organizational identity (OrI) in social media, research has started to encourage organizations to hand over control of the OrI to the creation and distribution of stakeholders. This has created challenges for the strategic communicator in managing the OrI internally, as the employees adapt to the OrI in the mind of the stakeholder rather than the OrI set

The completion of sequencing of human and other mammalian genomes opens a new era for drug development. New approaches have been proposed for tackling diseases such as development of small molecule therapies based on understanding of human genome and proteome, new proteinous based therapies, where the therapeutic protein can inhibit or modify a certain metabolic pathway or DNA-based therapies deli

Arising out of a
Sustainable development requires a change of values, norms, and capabilities within individuals and societies, and education is a crucial means to achieve these goals. However, transformation is not a simple task as dominant structures due to path-dependency and lock-in processes resist change, put pressure on innovative approaches, and hinder their potential for change. Thus the question is how s
