  • doing well by doing good Community Development venture capital
    Journal of Economics and Management Strategy, 2015
    Co-Authors: Anna Kovner, Joshua Lerner
    Abstract:

    This paper examines the investments and performance of Community Development venture capital (CDVC). We find substantial differences between CDVCs and traditional VCs: CDVC investments are far more likely to be in nonmetropolitan regions and in regions with little prior venture activity. CDVC investments are likely to be in earlier stage investments and in industries outside the venture capital mainstream that have lower probabilities of successful exit. Even after controlling for this unattractive transaction mixture, the probability of a CDVC investment being successfully exited is lower. One benefit of CDVCs may be their effect in bringing traditional VCs to underserved regions—controlling for the presence of traditional VC investments, each additional CDVC investment results in an additional 0.06 new traditional VC firms in a region

  • leading for urban school reform and Community Development
    Educational Administration Quarterly, 2015
    Co-Authors: Terrance L Green
    Abstract:

    Purpose: Improving urban schools of color and the communities where they are located requires leadership that spans school and Community boundaries. The purpose of this study is to understand how principal and Community leader actions support urban school reform along with Community Development at two Community schools in the urban Midwest and Southeast. Research Method: Using a cross-case study design, this research draws on interviews, school–Community observations, and document analysis. Concepts from Community Development leadership and cross-boundary leadership are joined to theoretically frame this study and guide the analysis. Data analysis was conducted using the constant comparative method. Findings: Leader actions varied across the two research sites based on the specific school–Community tasks that were undertaken. However, cross-case findings suggest that leaders developed a broad vision for school and Community, positioned the school as a spatial Community asset, championed Community causes at the school, and changed school culture. Implications: This approach to educational leadership highlights principals who purposefully work with Community leaders toward mutually beneficial school and Community outcomes. The study concludes with implications for leadership practice and future research.

  • social capital a necessary and sufficient condition for sustainable Community Development
    Social Science Research Network, 2010
    Co-Authors: Ann Dale, Lenore Newman
    Abstract:

    Research in Canada and Australia has shown that social capital is a necessary condition for sustainable Community Development as it enhances linking ties that increase access to resources outside the Community. Social capital in and of itself, however, is not always sufficient to sustain and develop local Community initiatives, as infusions of economic and human capital are often necessary; the larger ‘social safety net’ can play a critical role in local Community Development initiatives. More importantly, government policy alignment may be critical to establish a stable environment within which organizations can sustain and increase the scale of their operations. Governments have a critical leadership role to play by re-aligning policies and incentives to complement the existing social capital network formation by strategically targeting their interventions at pivotal points in the evolution of local organizations to optimize their access to outside economic and human resources. The role of government is explored in a case study outlining the actions of a local Community initiative in a marginalized neighbourhood of Vancouver, Canada.
