Results of redundancy analysis: factors associated with
enterprise resilience
RDA diagrams are interpreted by the length and direction of the
arrows for each of the variables in the diagram (Figs. 3e6). Variables
with arrows in the same direction indicate that those variables
cluster together (i.e. are associated with each other). The
strength of the variable is a combination of the length of the arrow,
the angle between the arrow and the axis and the variation
explained by that axis. A two dimensional ordination is unlikely to
capture all the variation where many variables are represented, the
per cent explained by the first and second axis each axis gives us an
idea of how much of the total variation is captured in the diagram.
The variables ‘identity’, ‘human capital’ and ‘Gov/NGO support’
are most closely associated with the measures of enterprise resilience
among Phuket's longtail boat enterprises (Fig. 3). In particular
‘Gov/NGO support’, ‘human capital’ and ‘identity’ cluster closely
with ‘endure change’, and perceived ‘reef condition’ clusters
together ‘adaptability’ and ‘options’. Fifty three per cent of the
variation across all variables is captured by the first canonical
(horizontal) axis for the Thai long tail boat enterprises (p ¼ NS)
