SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT OUTREACH SERVICES: APPROACHES IN PRACTICE
This paper aims to develop sustainable business outreach intervention approaches to support professional practice in business development, satisfy the community’s needs, and generate growth.
Sustainable business development outreach services (SBDOS) emerged as a practice-oriented, actionable intervention approach that is not widespread in the literature.
The study evolved the framework using an archival needs-based approach, discourse analysis, case studies, and experiential notes.
The unique contribution is the evolving easy-to-follow interventional strategies that maximise opportunities in outreach locations for all stakeholders.
The study will be valuable to business development professionals, banks, and other stakeholders, providing practical approaches for intervention, extension practice, and market growth. It will benefit policymakers to focus on developmental support and researchers to explore further issues surrounding sustainable business development.
