Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to work toward understanding the entrepreneurship ecosystem of agricultural social enterprises in the Philippines by exploring the interactions between policy, culture, supports and human capital domains.

Design/methodology/approach

The authors considered using an exploratory single-embedded case study approach, involving methodological triangulation of document analysis, semistructured interviews and participant observation. The authors analyzed the data using a narrative approach to map the ecosystem.

Findings

Through the research, the authors discovered that while each domain functions effectively individually, disconnects exist when interacting collectively as an ecosystem. The authors come to know that there is no policy consensus on social enterprise definitions, which limits specialized policy support. Although support services like incubators are available, the authors observed that awareness and accessibility vary based on location and business maturity. The authors also noted that human capital helps translate concepts into frameworks, but research tailored to agriculture and social entrepreneurship is limited. The authors come to the conclusion that collaboration and openness across domains are needed to strengthen connections and synergies.

Research limitations/implications

The study was geographically limited to Luzon Island, and the authors did not include the finance and markets domains of the ecosystem model in the analysis.

Practical implications

Based on the findings, the authors identify strategies to reinforce connections, such as increasing awareness of support services, developing tailored policies for social enterprises, conducting specialized research and promoting collaboration across domains. The authors are convinced that implementing these strategies can further develop the agricultural social entrepreneurship ecosystem.

Originality/value

The study provides unique empirical insights into the agricultural social entrepreneurship ecosystem in the Philippines. The authors captured the narratives and experiences of key ecosystem stakeholders along the process. The authors have confidence that what the authors found can strategically guide policymakers and support organizations, educational institutions and social entrepreneurs to accelerate ecosystem development for greater social impact.

Abstract

Purpose

This exploratory study innovates the pedagogy of undergraduate business research courses by integrating Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) tools, guided by human-centered artificial intelligence, social-emotional learning, and authenticity principles.

Design/methodology/approach

An insider case study approach was employed to examine an undergraduate business research course where 72 students utilized GAI for coursework. Thematic analysis was applied to their meta-reflective journals.

Findings

Students leverage GAI tools as brainstorming partners, co-writers, and co-readers, enhancing research efficiency and comprehension. They exhibit authenticity and human-centered AI principles in their GAI engagement. GAI integration imparts relevant AI skills to students.

Research limitations/implications

Future research could explore how teams collectively interact with GAI tools.

Practical implications

Incorporating meta-reflections can promote responsible GAI usage and develop students' self-awareness, critical thinking, and ethical engagement.

Social implications

Open discussions about social perceptions and emotional responses surrounding GAI use are necessary. Educators can foster a learning environment that nurtures students' holistic development, preparing them for technological challenges while preserving human learning and growth.

Originality/value

This study fills a gap in exploring the delivery and outcomes of AI-integrated undergraduate education, prioritizing student perspectives over the prevalent focus on educators' viewpoints. Additionally, it examines the teaching and application of AI for undergraduate research, diverging from current studies that primarily focus on research applications for academics.
