“…These results confirm that informal mechanisms generate relational rents due to the economy of transaction and control costs (Zander and Beske, 2014). Informal mechanisms expand relational rents because they encourage the group's sense of identity and involvement, contributing to the establishment of routines for sharing knowledge and resources (Gohr and Oliveira, 2019).…”

“…Informal mechanisms provide greater relational rents as they generate lower transaction and control costs (Zander and Beske, 2014), encourage a sense of identity and contribute to establishing routines for sharing knowledge and resources (Gohr and Oliveira, 2019). By empowering informal mechanisms, negotiations between partners become more flexible and exchanges of knowledge and valuable resources are facilitated (Kamalaldin et al, 2020).…”

PurposeThis paper aims to analyze the influence of governance mechanisms in the generation of relational rents for supplier in short food supply chains (SFSCs).Design/methodology/approachThis study used data from a survey of 181 organic producers in SFSCs, using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) with the aid of the SmartPLS® 3 software for the analysis.FindingsThe results show the relationship between formal and informal governance mechanisms and relational rents. The predominance of informal mechanisms enabled a higher explanatory power than that provided by formal governance mechanisms. Further, the authors found that the complementary use of governance mechanisms has a stronger impact on generating relational rents. However, contextual factors such as relationship time, power asymmetry and uncertainty in demand have not shown any influence on governance mechanisms for generating relational rents.Originality/valueThe result sheds new light on the relevance of governance mechanisms to foster relational rents to suppliers in SFSCs. It also shows that contextual factors that affect relationships in traditional supply chains do not play a relevant role in SFSCs due to their specific characteristics.

“…Dessa forma, a análise dos recursos externos no cluster estudado estão em consonância com a literatura que trata que recursos e capacidades podem ser desenvolvidos e explorados no contexto interfirmas (Dyer & Singh, 1998;Lavie, 2006;Hervás-Oliver & Albors-Garrigós, 2007;Li & Geng, 2012). Nesse contexto, destaca-se a importância dos relacionamentos interorganizacionais, pois essas relações podem fortalecer a confiança entre os parceiros, potencializando o desenvolvimento de rendas relacionais (Dyer & Singh, 1998;Oliveira & Gohr, 2018;Gohr & Oliveira, 2019).…”

Este artigo tem como principal objetivo identificar e avaliar os recursos internos e externos presentes em duas empresas inseridas em um cluster de software no Estado da Paraíba e analisar seus impactos na vantagem competitiva das empresas. A abordagem teórica adotada foi a visão baseada em recurso (VBR), bem como a literatura sobre clusters industriais. Para o alcance desse objetivo, utilizou-se abordagem qualitativa em profundidade, através da utilização do método estudo de caso. Foi desenvolvido um modelo de análise que foi aplicado nas duas empresas que fazem parte do cluster em investigação. Como resultados, foram identificaram 22 recursos internos (classificados em recursos físicos, humanos, organizacionais e financeiros) e 17 recursos externos (classificados em sistêmicos e de acesso restrito) que foram avaliados para verificar o impacto na vantagem competitiva das empresas estudadas. Destes, verificou-se que algumas certificações e investimentos em projetos e editais (recursos internos), bem como aprendizagem coletiva e programa de exportação (recursos externos), são os que contribuem significativamente para a vantagem competitiva das empresas em investigação. A análise desenvolvida no artigo apresenta algumas contribuições especialmente para guiar os tomadores de decisão em relação a como utilizar seus recursos internos e externos de modo a alcançar uma vantagem competitiva.

“…According to Hassink (2010), the relationship between industrial cluster and productivity can be explained by knowledge spillovers and collective learning. The central proposition of the knowledge‐diffusion theory is that localised channels of forming and sharing knowledge are fostered through geographical concentration of firms (Pinch and Henry 1999; Gohr and Oliveira 2019; Keeble and Wilkinson 2017; Malmberg and Maskell 2002). However, Malmberg and Maskell (2002) as well as Martin and Sunley (2003) argued for a paucity of evidence supporting that proximity between firms leads to exchange of information and knowledge.…”

The growth and sustenance of firms are primarily determined by their productivity and efficiency. However, the productivity analysis has generally been skewed toward formal enterprises in the extant literature. For developing countries that characteristically have a greater share of informal employment, understanding the theoretical foundation of informal productivity and the proposed remedies could be the grounds for further research and deeper thinking for enhanced productivity. The central question of this paper is formulated on how a combined theoretical approach on the characteristics and location of firms could enhance knowledge on the hindering and promoting factors of productivity and efficiency among informal enterprises. Using the PRISMA methodology, 141 theoretical and empirical studies were reviewed, which revealed a central role of local and national governments in providing enabling infrastructure for the informal economy. It was found that factors like knowledge sharing, capitalisation, improved credit sector, geographical concentration, and decongestion of industrial clusters could promote productivity among informal producers. It, therefore, falls on various stakeholders to plan and execute policies on infrastructure, land‐use policies, tax, and credit that simultaneously lessen the inherent constraints of informality, while enhancing enablers of production.
