Large Community
A community is commonly considered a social unit who share something in common, such as norms,values, identity, and often a sense of place that is situated in a given geographical area (e.g. a village, town, or neighborhood). Durable relations that extend beyond immediate genealogical ties also define a sense of community. People tend to define those social ties as important to their identity, practice, and roles in social institutions like family, home, work, government, society, or humanity, at large.Although communities are usually small relative to personal social ties (micro-level), "community" may also refer to large group affiliations (or macro-level), such as national communities, international communities, and virtual communities.
The Large Community Grant aims to help support larger scale community projects that need more than just small awards of funding. This scheme provides capital funding to help with things like building refurbishments, environmental improvements, recreational facilities and community businesses.
We instead examine social capital’s public good aspects, arguing that the benefits of social trust and organization memberships accrue not just to the individual but to the community at large. We test these arguments using individual data from the 2000 Census that have been merged with two community surveys, the Social Capital Benchmark Survey and the General Social Survey. We find that individuals in communities with high levels of social trust are more likely to be self-employed compared to individuals in communities with lower levels of social trust. Additionally, membership in organizations connected to the larger community is associated with higher levels of self-employment, but membership in isolated organizations that lack connections to the larger community is associated with lower levels of self-employment. Further analysis suggests that the entrepreneurship-enhancing effects of community social capital are stronger for whites, native-born residents, and long-term community members than for minorities, immigrants, and recent entrants.
Our process begins by helping you set your vision and then guides you to examine the key influences on your operation and the key challenges you currently face. You’ll explore the key relationships you have with customers, suppliers, partners and stakeholders to confirm that key strategic imperatives maintain your benchmarked position. And we’ll make sure that you incorporate a clear understanding of your company’s core competencies into your strategic plan. This will lead to development of creative and innovative strategies.
