“…Second, the results of this study lead to the conclusion that the cooperative legal structure, cooperation networks and open projects with other firms, as well as agreements and partnerships with other robust institutions could be enablers that encourage the implementation of the SDGs that are not directly related to the sector. Finally, in line with the research of Benavides-Espinosa and Ribeiro-Soriano (2014) and Bouncken et al . (2018), collaboration with other firms or institutions could offer a solution for companies that are within the supply chain but that are too small to have the financial, technological, infrastructure and information resources needed to implement the SDGs.…”

“…For example, ANECOOP also addresses SDG 14 (Life Below Water) through the circularity of its packaging and SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) through reverse logistics and last mile logistics. According to Mohtar (2022) and Ratzmann et al (2018), collaboration with other companies through partnerships and agreements enables ANECOOP to implement the SDGs that are not directly related to its business activity (e.g., SDG 17). Echoing the research of Mainali et al (2018), ANECOOP is a case that reveals interconnections between the 17 SDGs.…”

PurposeAchieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is a global initiative that is becoming increasingly important in the industrial and service sectors. This paper analyses how the SDGs are being implemented in the agrifood supply chain by social economy enterprises.Design/methodology/approachCase study methodology was used to understand how companies implement the SDGs. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with managers from two cooperatives in the agrifood sector.FindingsThere are no differences in the way that the SDGs are implemented by social economy enterprises involved in the food sector supply chain. Therefore, the SDG approach is an alternative that can be applied by food sector supply chain companies to achieve the sustainability favoured by the cooperative model.Originality/valueThe value of the present study lies in its analysis of the sustainability of the agrifood supply chain from an SDG-based approach that is more comprehensive than other commonly cited approaches in the academic literature.

“…That is, entrepreneurial-oriented firms are inclined to dominating the market through their aggressive and proactive actions (Gudda, 2017). EO thus positively affects SMEs' RIP (Liu and Lee, 2018;Bouncken et al, 2018). Schumpeter (1934) and Vesper (1980) suggested five behavioral characteristics of entrepreneurship, which are, introduction of new goods, introduction of new methods of H1.…”

PurposeThe study explored the mediating role of potential and realized absorptive capacities in the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and radical innovation performance among manufacturing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).Design/methodology/approachEmpirical analysis was based on 357 manufacturing SMEs in Ghana. Various validity and reliability checks were conducted before the presentation of the actual analysis, which was conducted using ordinary least squares approach, run using SPSS (v. 20).FindingsFindings revealed that potential and realized absorptive capacities significantly mediated the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and radical innovation performance among manufacturing SMEs. Further, it was identified that ambidexterity in absorptive capacity also had a greater effect on radical innovation performance among manufacturing SMEs.Research limitations/implicationsSince the data used were cross-sectional, the relationships measured represent only a snapshot of time. Longitudinal studies could therefore be adopted in the future to complement the cross-sectional conducted.Practical implicationsWhile managers of manufacturing SMEs seek to achieve higher radical innovation performance through entrepreneurial orientation, it should also be noted that both potential and realized absorptive capacities have a significant role to play in this relationship. Managers must therefore also seek to invest time to build both potential and realized absorptive capacities, as they define greater innovation success.Originality/valueSome past studies have considered absorptive capacity as composite variable, therefore added both potential and realized absorptive capacities to form a single variable. Others also presented potential and realized absorptive capacities individually. This current study extends the body of knowledge by presenting an ambidexterity position between potential and realized absorptive capacities.

“…As the nature of competition has been shifting from "firm vs firm" to "valuechain vs value-chain" (Boehlje, 1999;Lambert and Cooper, 2000), scholarly concerns of EO implications in strategic alliances (Li et al, 2017) and EO from a whole-of-value-chain perspective (Hsu et al, 2011) have become of increasing interest. Research on EO relevant to value-chains has been linked to customer value co-creation behavior (Tuan, 2017), joint innovations (Bouncken et al, 2018) and supply chain flexibility (Mishra and Mishra, 2019).…”

Purpose This study aims to take a whole-of-chain perspective to explore how entrepreneurial orientation (EO) influences collaborative performance in agri-food value-chains through enhancing the acquisition of knowledge. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected through a survey of 233 actors, including farmers, intermediaries and retailers in one beef cattle value-chain in the Central Highlands, Vietnam. Structural equation modeling was used to test hypotheses. Findings The actors’ level of EO within a value-chain is positively associated with collaborative performance within the beef value-chain. Additionally, knowledge acquisition partially mediates the relationship between EO and collaborative performance. Research limitations/implications Generalizability is limited because of sampling constraints. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study of EO from a whole-of-chain perspective in agri-food value-chains in an emerging economy and has implications for policymakers and agri-food marketers.
