The interplay of structural and relational governance in innovation alliances 创新联盟中结构治理与关系治理的相互作用
Pub Date : 2016-12-05 DOI: 10.3920/JCNS2014.X016

The present paper aims to extend the discussion in the governance literature about whether structural and relational governance mechanisms complement or substitute each other in innovation alliances. Where structural governance mechanisms refer to the division of tasks within the alliance and to upfront contractual and non-contractual input, output and risk-related agreements, relational governance mechanisms refer to trust, using informal norms and rules for coordination purposes. In innovation literature much attention has been paid to relational governance, which is expected to offer more of the flexibility needed for innovation than the regulations in structural governance that are perceived as rigid. However, the authors argue that the essential role of structural governance as a solid basis for creating trust, especially in alliances in which the partners do not know each other, is clearly underexposed in management literature. To fill this gap, a model conceptualizing the innovation alliance from inception to performance was tested using Partial Least Squares, employing a cross-sectional dataset of 94 innovation alliances in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Austria. The results do indeed show the essential role of structural agreements in creating a platform for trust on which relational governance can strive, while a clear task division can help to reduce the complexity of the inter-organizational innovation process, by reducing the interdependency of the partners. Both structural mechanisms ease communication among the alliance partners, leading to a higher level of knowledge exchange, and ultimately leading to better alliance performance.
本文旨在扩展治理文献中关于创新联盟中结构治理机制和关系治理机制是相互补充还是相互替代的讨论。结构性治理机制指的是联盟内部的任务分工,以及预先契约性和非契约性的投入、产出和风险相关协议;关系型治理机制指的是信任,使用非正式规范和规则进行协调。在创新文献中,很多注意力都放在了关系治理上,它比被认为是僵化的结构治理中的规定提供了更多的创新所需的灵活性。然而,作者认为,结构治理作为建立信任的坚实基础的重要作用,特别是在合作伙伴彼此不认识的联盟中,在管理文献中显然没有得到充分的暴露。为了填补这一空白,利用荷兰、比利时、德国和奥地利94个创新联盟的横截面数据集,利用偏最小二乘法对创新联盟从成立到绩效的概念化模型进行了测试。结果确实显示了结构性协议在创建信任平台方面的重要作用,关系治理可以在信任平台上努力,而明确的任务划分可以通过减少合作伙伴的相互依赖性来帮助减少组织间创新过程的复杂性。两种结构机制都简化了联盟伙伴之间的沟通,促进了更高层次的知识交流,最终提高了联盟绩效。

Organizing vegetable supply chains: results of a survey of farmers 组织蔬菜供应链:对农民的调查结果
Pub Date : 2016-12-05 DOI: 10.3920/JCNS2015.X002
M. Kayser, M. Schulte, L. Theuvsen
German horticulture earns 21.2% of the total production value of German agriculture – on merely 1.3% of the total production area. Despite this important economic standing, agricultural economic research focuses more on other agricultural sectors like meat or milk supply chains. The present study aims to analyze the organization of the horticulture supply chain. In order to fill this gap in research, the impact of various management instruments on performance at an individual farm level as well as in the whole horticultural supply chain get analyzed by using the partial least square method. For this, German vegetable farmers participated in an online survey in 2013. The innovative empirical analysis thereby is based on existing literature and the contingency theory. The results show that the individual farm performance is positively influenced by factor endowment of the farms as well as by trust and business climate between the different levels of the supply chain. In contrast, the external situation of t...
德国园艺产值占德国农业总产值的21.2%,但仅占总生产面积的1.3%。尽管这一重要的经济地位,农业经济研究更多地关注其他农业部门,如肉类或牛奶供应链。本研究旨在分析园艺供应链的组织。为了填补这一研究空白,使用偏最小二乘法分析了各种管理工具对单个农场水平以及整个园艺供应链绩效的影响。为此,德国菜农于2013年参与了一项在线调查。创新的实证分析是在现有文献和权变理论的基础上进行的。结果表明,个体农场绩效受到农场要素禀赋以及供应链不同层次之间的信任和商业环境的正向影响。相比之下,……的外部情况……

Access to markets is one important strategy which can assist smallholder farmers to move out of poverty. Collective action through farmers' groups has been identified as a strategy to improve the participation of farmers in markets. This study analyzes the determinants of participation and intensity of participation of collective action in production and marketing of avocado in Kenya. Group participation and the intensity were modelled as a binary choice decision and analyzed using logit models. Interviews were conducted with 301 farmers in avocado production zones in Kenya. The result showed that age, education, gender and perceptions on knowledge and improved technology influence farmers' decision to participate in group activities. Occupation, area of residence and farmers' perception on knowledge and improved technology use, and economic benefits had a significant influence on the intensity of participation. We conclude that it is crucial to educate farmers through trainings, workshops and seminars be...
进入市场是一项重要的战略,可以帮助小农摆脱贫困。通过农民团体采取集体行动已被确定为改善农民参与市场的一项战略。本研究分析了肯尼亚鳄梨生产和销售中集体行动的参与和参与强度的决定因素。小组参与和强度建模为二元选择决策,并使用logit模型进行分析。对肯尼亚鳄梨产区的301名农民进行了采访。结果表明,年龄、教育程度、性别和对知识和改进技术的认知影响农民参与群体活动的决定。职业、居住面积和农民对知识和改进技术使用的看法以及经济利益对参与强度有显著影响。我们的结论是,通过培训、讲习班和研讨会对农民进行教育是至关重要的。

Survey evidence of members’ willingness to invest in agricultural hybrid cooperatives 成员对农业混合合作社投资意愿的调查证据
Pub Date : 2016-09-14 DOI: 10.3920/JCNS2014.0006

Agricultural producer organisations face tight competition in global food and agricultural markets. The opportunities for cooperatives to acquire growth capital are restricted to member contributions, which poses a financial handicap in competition against investor-owned firms. Innovative cooperative structures have emerged as a response to the competitive pressures. For many, gaining access to growth capital from investors has been the reason for departing from the traditional cooperative organisational structure. This study examined whether farmers, as members and owners of agricultural producer cooperatives, are willing to invest in cooperative growth. By using the members of two large Finnish meat producer cooperatives as a sample we were able to utilise the variability in investor-owned firm structures, in which the members have both direct and indirect ownership in two layers of the agricultural producer organisation. A questionnaire study was conducted, including a contingent rating task in which f...
农业生产者组织在全球食品和农业市场上面临着激烈的竞争。合作社获得增长资本的机会仅限于成员的捐款,这在与投资者所有的公司竞争时造成了财政障碍。作为对竞争压力的反应,出现了创新的合作结构。对许多人来说,从投资者那里获得增长资本,是他们脱离传统合作型组织结构的原因。本研究考察了作为农业生产合作社成员和所有者的农民是否愿意投资于合作社增长。通过使用两个大型芬兰肉类生产合作社的成员作为样本,我们能够利用投资者拥有的公司结构的可变性,其中成员在农业生产组织的两层中都有直接和间接的所有权。进行了一项问卷调查研究,其中包括一项偶然评级任务,其中……

Organisation of German livestock production from the bottom up: a new institutional economic analysis of dairy cattle breeding 德国畜牧生产自下而上的组织:奶牛养殖的新制度经济分析
Pub Date : 2016-09-14 DOI: 10.3920/JCNS2014.0005

Cooperatives operate in many different parts of the agri-food chain. Animal breeding, as one of these areas, has not yet been subject to intensive research. In the literature, cooperatives are often claimed to produce a lower quality product than comparable investor-owned firms. Is this the case in dairy cattle breeding as well? In order to address this question, we examine the inter- and intra-organisational coordination and structure of the supply chain for cattle breeding in Germany by means of a property rights model. In a short-term perspective, the profit maximisation of the cooperative member follows the model of perfect competition. In addition, we show the existence of a quality coordination problem in breeding associations in the long run. This problem is presumed to be counteracted by the dual system of price-setting which allows the cooperative to provide incentives to its members.
合作社在农业食品链的许多不同环节开展业务。动物育种作为这些领域之一,尚未得到深入的研究。在文献中,合作社经常被声称生产的产品质量低于可比的投资者所有的公司。在奶牛养殖中也是如此吗?为了解决这个问题,我们通过产权模型研究了德国养牛供应链的组织间和组织内协调和结构。在短期内,合作社成员的利润最大化遵循完全竞争模式。此外,我们还表明,从长远来看,育种协会存在质量协调问题。这一问题可以通过双重定价制度加以抵消,这种制度允许合作社向其成员提供奖励。

The Sub-Saharan African smallholder agricultural sector faces multiple and usually complex challenges, which can potentially be overcome by collective action. Smallholder farmers and other value chain stakeholders can tackle temporal, structural and contextual challenges by joining multi-level innovation networks to benefit collectively from shared information, knowledge, improved capacities and economies of scale in a process of innovation. Ambidexterity is a capability of innovation networks to balance exploration and exploitation dynamics in an innovation process, and is applicable at multiple levels: individuals, leaders, champions, teams and clusters. In the paradigm of open innovation, these levels become intertwined in hybrid social structures of innovation netchains. The objective of this paper is to describe the roles and identify the stakeholders that play those roles in an innovation process. We present case studies on farmer groups who participate in collective action and we compare multi-stak...
撒哈拉以南非洲小农农业部门面临多重且通常复杂的挑战,这些挑战可以通过集体行动加以克服。小农和其他价值链利益相关者可以通过加入多层次创新网络来应对时间、结构和背景方面的挑战,共同受益于创新过程中的信息、知识共享、能力提高和规模经济。双元性是指创新网络在创新过程中平衡探索和开发动态的能力,适用于多个层面:个人、领导者、冠军、团队和集群。在开放式创新范式中,这些层次在创新网络链的混合社会结构中相互交织。本文的目的是描述角色,并确定在创新过程中扮演这些角色的利益相关者。我们介绍了参与集体行动的农民团体的案例研究,我们比较了多方利益……

Generic solutions to coordination and organizational costs: informing cooperative longevity 协调和组织成本的通用解决方案:告知合作寿命
Pub Date : 2016-07-26 DOI: 10.3920/JCNS2016.X001
M. Cook, C. Iliopoulos
For years, scholars and policy makers have ar gued that cooperatives, particularly agricultural cooperatives, exhibit organizational inefficiencies primarily caused by individual member behavior that is often independent and non-cooperative conflicting with the formation of effective coalition building. This free riding tendency creates significant challenges for a continued joint collaboration between and among member patrons. Yet, agricultural cooperatives have a long history of surviving as successful business enterprises. This paper presents a framework that proposes generic solutions effective as design principles in addressing the negative consequences of high organization costs, thus leading to sustainable common group interest activities.
多年来,学者和政策制定者一直认为,合作社,特别是农业合作社,表现出组织效率低下的主要原因是个体成员的独立和非合作行为与有效联盟建设的形成相冲突。这种搭便车的趋势给会员之间的持续合作带来了巨大的挑战。然而,农业合作社作为成功的商业企业有着悠久的生存历史。本文提出了一个框架,该框架提出了有效的通用解决方案,作为解决高组织成本负面后果的设计原则,从而导致可持续的共同群体利益活动。

Organisational health and performance: an empirical assessment of smallholder producer organisations in Africa 组织健康与绩效:对非洲小农生产者组织的实证评估
Pub Date : 2016-06-09 DOI: 10.3920/JCNS2016.X002

We use recent data from 253 smallholder producer organisations (SPOs) in Ethiopia, Malawi and Senegal, factor and regression analysis to define organisational health, understand its determinants and relate health to performance. We find that latent health evolves according to a life cycle and that start up incentives and design rules are important determinants of an organisation’s progression through this life cycle. Health, in turn, is found to explain SPO performance measured in terms of profits. Healthier and more profitable SPOs are those with an economic justification at establishment, those initially pursuing defensive objectives and those SPOs that have put in place a strategy for capital formation. More educated presidents contribute to the health of an SPO but it is also shown that when the president of the SPO is female, profits are lower while the organisation is not healthier.
我们使用来自埃塞俄比亚、马拉维和塞内加尔253个小农生产者组织(spo)的最新数据,通过因素和回归分析来定义组织健康,了解其决定因素并将健康与绩效联系起来。我们发现潜在健康状况是根据生命周期发展的,启动激励和设计规则是组织在这个生命周期中发展的重要决定因素。反过来,人们发现健康状况可以解释以利润衡量的SPO表现。更健康和更有利可图的spo是那些在建立时具有经济理由的spo,那些最初追求防御目标的spo以及那些已经制定了资本形成战略的spo。受教育程度更高的总裁有助于SPO的健康发展,但也有研究表明,当SPO的总裁是女性时,利润会降低,而组织也不会更健康。

This paper presents an empirical examination of investment responses to external facilitation of supply chain linkages between agricultural producers and processors. Specifically, it analyzes the impact of participation in the USDA Marketing Assistance Program (MAP) facilitated formal marketing channel on farm-level investments in tomato production. The analysis involves mixed method approach utilizing a case of the USDA MAP in the Armenian vegetable industry and the survey data from 427 Armenian tomato growers. The main results indicate that the tomato growers linked to USDA MAP facilitated formal marketing channel (i.e. processors) invested significantly more in expanding tomato planting area compared to growers in informal channel (i.e. direct-to-consumer markets, middleman, and barter). The lessons from the USDA MAP’s supply chain facilitation strategy and the results of quantitative analysis provide insights on incentive structures and enforcement mechanisms for designing more effective supply chain ...
本文提出了对农业生产者和加工者之间的供应链联系的外部便利化的投资反应的实证检验。具体而言,它分析了参与美国农业部营销援助计划(MAP)促进了正式营销渠道对农场一级番茄生产投资的影响。分析涉及混合方法方法,利用美国农业部在亚美尼亚蔬菜行业的MAP案例和427名亚美尼亚番茄种植者的调查数据。主要结果表明,与非正式渠道(即直接面向消费者市场、中间商和物物交换)的番茄种植者相比,与美国农业部MAP有联系的正规营销渠道(即加工商)的番茄种植者在扩大番茄种植面积方面的投资显著增加。USDA MAP供应链促进战略的经验教训和定量分析的结果为设计更有效的供应链提供了激励结构和执行机制的见解……
