Where commerce and culture connect? Corporate governance and social capital in the global era: the case of the AFL

该项目探讨了全球化时代许多社区组织面临的一个核心难题：一个组织如何在应对商业可行性和战略治理新挑战的同时保持其文化核心？ 社区组织越来越多地面临着市场和企业管理的逻辑。 这关系到他们的文化特性、自主权和融入当地社区的程度。通过对澳大利亚足球联赛的16个俱乐部的研究，该项目旨在产生一个新的分析框架，以评估那些寻求以新颖和创新的方式将公司治理和社区参与融合在一起的组织。

This project investigates a central puzzle that confronts many community organisations in the global era: how does an organisation sustain its cultural core while negotiating the new challenges of commercial viability and strategic governance? Increasingly, community organisations are confronted with the logics of the market and corporate management. At stake is their cultural identity, autonomy and their embeddedness in local communities. Through a study of the 16 clubs of the Australian Football League, this project aims to generate a new analytical framework to evaluate organisations that seek to blend corporate governance and community engagement in novel and innovative ways.
