Última Surmountable Chasms: Networks and Social Innovation for Resilient Systems Ecology and Society Moore, Michele-Lee; J. W. McConnell Graduate Fellow, Social Innovation Generation, University of Waterloo; mlmoore@balsillieschool.ca; Westley, Frances ; McConnell Chair, Social Innovation Generation, University of Waterloo; fwestley@uwaterloo.ca. Complex challenges demand complex solutions. By their very nature, these problems are difficult to define and are often the result of rigid social structures that effectively act as “traps”. However, resilience theory and the adaptive cycle can serve as a useful framework for understanding how humans may move beyond these traps and towards the social innovation that is required to address many complex problems. This paper explores the critical question of whether networks help facilitate innovations to bridge the seemingly insurmountable chasms of complex problems to create change across scales, thereby increasing resilience. The argument is made that research has not yet adequately articulated the strategic agency that must be present...

Ano: 2011 Network approaches for understanding rainwater management from a social-ecological systems perspective Ecology and Society Prager, Steven D.; International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT); s.prager@cgiar.org; Pfeifer, Catherine; International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI); c.pfeifer@cgiar.org. The premise of this research is to better understand how approaches to implementing rainwater management practices can be informed by understanding how the people living and working in agroecosystems are connected to one another. Because these connections are via both social interactions and functional characteristics of the landscape, a social-ecological network emerges. Using social-ecological network theory, we ask how understanding the structure of interactions can lead to improved rainwater management interventions. Using a case study situated within a small sub-basin in the Fogera area of the Blue Nile Basin of Ethiopia, we build networks of smallholders based both on the biophysical and social-institutional landscapes present in the study site, with...

Ano: 2015 CHAIN QUALITY MANAGEMENT IN CO-OPERATIVES AgEcon Hanf, Jon Henrich; Pieniadz, Agata. This paper investigates the relationship between the chosen quality strategy and the vertical co-ordination mechanism of a focal company by using new institutional economics, as well as strategic management approaches. The theoretical findings are tested using evidence from 19 of the largest Polish dairy cooperatives, surveyed in spring 2006. The results show that all co-ops recognise the changing market requirements and are treating food quality as more than plain food safety and the ability to continuously reproduce an ex ante defined set of attributes. However, compared to investor-owned dairies, co-ops are disadvantaged in quality-based competition due to their lower flexibility and access to financial and qualified human resources. To overcome this... Tipo: Conference Paper or Presentation Palavras-chave: Network theory; Relationship management; Quality management; Cooperatives; Poland; Institutional and Behavioral Economics.

Ano: 2007 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/7858 Quality Management in Supply Chain Networks - The Case of Poland AgEcon Hanf, Jon Henrich; Pieniadz, Agata. In this article we suggest that rising quality requirements are key factors for the redesign of food chains. We argue that the food supply proceeds through pyramidalhierarchical strategic networks coordinated by powerful focal firms. These firms choose a quality strategy and employ chain quality management concepts by exerting managerial discretion to achieve the super-ordinate network aims. We introduce and elaborate upon two types of chain quality management: strategic and operative. The theoretical findings have been tested using evidence from the Polish dairy market. Semi-structured interviews were conducted across the various hierarchical levels of the 19 largest Polish dairy cooperatives during the spring of 2006. The results show that the firms’...

Ano: 2007 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/44903 Quality Management in Strategic Networks - Is there any Relevance in the Polish Dairy Sector? AgEcon Hanf, Jon Henrich; Pieniadz, Agata. The most striking consequence of recent food scares was that food quality is no longer the concern of a single firm, but instead the whole food chain has to work together in order to deliver the “new quality”. For the agri-food business there is evidence that the majority of these more highly co-ordinated chain organisations are organised as vertical networks. The aim of the paper is to determine the degree of influence which the chosen quality strategy exerts on the vertical co-ordination mechanism. A theoretical framework has been developed based on new institutional economics and strategic management theory. The findings are used to analyse the Polish dairy sector and elaborate on the relevance of quality management for this sector.
