RESUMO.-A ovinocultura sempre foi uma atividade de grande importância econômica e de tradição para o Estado do Rio Grande do Sul (RS), mesmo com as crises da lã ocorridas nas décadas de 80 e 90, o rebanho ovino Gaúcho continua sendo o maior a nível nacional. Com a escassez de dados sobre essa atividade, o presente estudo possui como objetivo caracterizar a ovinocultura do RS. Para isso, foi utilizada uma amostragem planejada, caracterizada pela aleatoriedade e estratificação da amostra pelas sete Mesorregiões do Estado. Foram analisadas 705 propriedades rurais através de um questionário epidemiológico, aplicado por 25 veterinários do Departamento de Defesa Animal, da Secretaria da Agricultura, Pecuária e Agronegócio do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul. Conforme os resultados obtidos, a ovinocultura gaúcha é explorada extensivamente e baseada na produção conjunta de carne e lã, cuja principal finalidade é a subsistência. Assim, demonstrando que essa atividade ainda mantém padrões de sua origem, com pouca tecnificação, tanto em aspectos sanitários quanto reprodutivos, revelando, portanto, que a ovinocultura gaúcha ainda é vista como uma produção secundária pelos produtores rurais gaúchos, o que pode ser explicado pelos baixos investimentos neste setor.TERMOS DE INDEXAÇÃO: Ovinocultura, estudo descritivo epidemiológico, questionário epidemiológico.
Purpose Innovation ecosystems can emerge and grow organically, but the process can also be managed through conscious intervention. Therefore, this study observes different motivations and expectations for each group of actors. The lack of alignment between actors could have a negative influence on the development of innovation ecosystems. This study aims to analyze the coordination strategies of the actors throughout the life cycle of innovation ecosystems. Design/methodology/approach This study develops and proposes a model for coordinating innovation ecosystems based on the theoretical backgrounds of the ecosystem life cycle and ecosystem coordination. Findings This study argues that each stage of an innovation ecosystem’s life cycle – inception, launching, growth and maturity – demands different coordination strategies. Initially, networks are simpler and thus the coordination issues are less difficult. However, as the ecosystem evolves and the complexity of the networks increases, a more sophisticated strategy, such as orchestration or choreography, is needed. Research limitations/implications This is a theoretical study that recommends further research to test this model. Practical implications The understanding of coordination and stages of the life cycle of an innovation ecosystem can guide actors in the design of strategies for developing of ecosystems. Social implications The proposed framework could support strategies to engage civil society in actions to develop innovation ecosystems. Originality/value This study presents a framework to understand the coordination strategies better, considering the stages of an innovation ecosystem’s life cycle.
Objective of the study: The present study aimed to answer the following question: How are resources orchestrated to generate innovation in innovation ecosystems?Methodology/Approach: An exploratory qualitative research was conducted through documentary analysis, non-participant observation, and in-depth interviews with actors from two Brazilian ecosystems in different stages of development: 4th District (emerging) and Porto Digital (growth).Originality/Relevance: Innovation ecosystems can be understood as a set of resources that foster innovation. Current research suggests that even more important than resources is the articulation among them and the way they are orchestrated.Main Results: It was found that resource pooling characterizes the transition moment from the emergency stage to the growth stage.Theoretical/ Methodological Contribution: A direct relationship between resource orchestration and the stage of ecosystem development was identified.Social/Management Contribution: The importance of the orchestration role, as well as the presence of an orchestrating actor, was emphasized, and a framework of analysis on the orchestration of resources in innovation ecosystems was proposed.
Pesq. Vet. Bras. 34(6):542-554, junho 2014 542 RESUMO.-O serviço veterinário oficial é responsável por proteger a saúde pública e animal, assegurando a oferta de produtos de origem animal inócuos aos consumidores. Uma ferramenta que auxilia na busca desses objetivos é a análise de risco, que iniciou a ser utilizada na segunda metade da década de 90 pelos serviços veterinários oficiais dos países. Para a realização de uma análise de risco, qualitativa ou quantitativa, inicialmente deve-se identificar o perigo, a qual na área da saúde animal geralmente é o agente patogênico causador de uma doença. A etapa subsequente The official veterinary service is responsible for protecting public and animal health, certifying the supply of safe animal products to consumers. A tool that assists in the pursuit of these goals is the risk analysis, which began to be used in the second half of the 1990s for the official veterinary services of countries. To carry out a risk analysis, qualitative or quantitative, one must initially identify the danger, which in the area of animal health is usually the pathogen causing a disease. The subsequent step is risk assessment, which must be analyzed, supported by scientific studies or experts in the field, the possible ways of introduction, exposition and maintenance of the pathogen in the susceptible population, as well biological, economic, political and social consequences. The third step in the analysis of risk refers to risk management, which aims to propose measures to mitigate the risk to the desired level, and assess the cost/benefit of each measure. The last phase of a risk analysis is risk communication. This step is critical for success of the study and should be initiated along with risk analysis itself, always leaving open a permanent communication with all social actors interested in risk analysis. Risk analysis has become an important tool used by managers of the official veterinary services in decision-making, contributing to the choice of alternatives that give scientifically the lowest animal health risk. This study conducted a review of the literature on risk analysis aimed to expose its definition and development process, as well as to see how it is being used and what limitations and challenges of using this tool by the Brazilian national veterinary service.
Purpose This study aims to map and assess the conceptual development of the innovation ecosystem literature. Design/methodology/approach A bibliometric analysis was performed using the VOSviewer, RStudio software, Bibliometrix and Biblioshiny packages. To accomplish this, 367 publications published between 2006 and 2020 and indexed in the Web of Science and Scopus databases were assessed. Findings The results demonstrate a rise in research during 2016, with almost 30% of publications concentrated in only six journals. The co-citation analysis presented four clusters: case studies, business and innovation ecosystems (platform approach), open innovation and national and regional innovation systems (territorial approach). We proposed a theoretical framework based on two approaches in the innovation ecosystem literature based on co-citation analysis: platform, which has its roots in the literature on strategy, and territory, grounded in research on economic geography literature. Research limitations/implications One of the limitations of the study is that only articles published in journals were analyzed, leaving out of the sample those published in congresses, books and other sources. Originality/value This paper contributes to the literature by presenting and clarifying the different conceptual trajectories of research in innovation ecosystems. We also proposed an analytical framework based on the two main approaches to innovation ecosystems – platform and territory. This framework presents the critical elements of managing innovation ecosystems from both perspectives.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
