“…An innovative idea does not represent any value until it is commercialized via a business model. Similarly, technological development has no value, unless it is commercialized [67]. Therefore, business models have been considered as a focus on innovation and are acknowledged as important drivers of commercialization without which value created from innovation cannot be captured [65][66][67][68][69][70].…”

“…Similarly, in the beekeeping industry, beekeepers have their business model and the orchestrator has that too. The two business models are interdependent because the business model of the beekeeper affects or influences the business model of the orchestrator [44,67]. For example, if beekeepers are not producing quality honey, the orchestrator cannot offer quality honey as well.…”

In this chapter, we begin with the motivating question: How can firms in rural areas be organized to foster development and transformation by commercializing their activities? In developing countries, the business environment in rural areas has limited amenities and infrastructure. Firms in such areas have limited capabilities to solely commercialize their activities. To create value and capture a sizable value from activities, firms should redefine their Industry Architecture (IA): who does what, and who gets what? And change their business model from transactional to collaborative or ecosystem. The chapter informs stakeholders in rural development on significant steps and measures to be taken to structure a viable and commercial business ecosystem. Also, the theoretical contribution to fostering rural development and transformation by changing the Industry Architecture, Value Chain, and Business Ecosystems is remarkable. The chapter concludes by proposing firms work together to gain an architectural advantage: Maximizing the complementarity and mobility of assets.

“…The World Bank Group (2011) states that Tanzania has 35 million hectares of forests, it covers about 40 percent of the land in Tanzania (Msamula et al, 2016;Tutuba, 2021b). This endowed multi-flora vegetation is exceedingly favourable for beekeeping; It makes Tanzania among the countries with the highest potential for producing bee products (Tutuba et al, 2019a;Tutuba & Vanhaverbeke, 2022). The estimated production potential of bee products is about 138,000 tons of honey and 9,200 tons of beeswax per annum (ITC, 2015).…”

“…For example, Kenya and Uganda harvest only 14.6 percent and one percent of the annual estimated production potential of honey respectively (Amulen et al, 2017). While Tanzania captures only seven percent and three percent of its estimated production potential of honey and beeswax respectively (Pinda, 2014;Tutuba et al, 2019a). Moreover, Africa's share of the world's honey and beeswax trade remains low despite its production potential for the products.…”

Why is the beekeeping sector in Tanzania less productive? The average annual productivity of a bee colony is estimated to be 15 kgs and 2 kgs of honey and wax respectively. But the condition is Tanzania scandalous: Why is it the case? The study analyses the potential challenges to the underperformance of bee colonies in Tanzania. This study used an experimental design, and qualitative approach to analyze the productivity of bee colonies in Tanzania. The sample was selected through a purposive approach and data were collected through interviews and observation. The Current-Tree-Reality of the Thinking Process techniques was used to identify constraints that limit the productivity of the beekeeping sector in Tanzania. Size of the colony, bee species, availability of fodder, technology, knowledge and skills, and post-harvest losses were constantly mentioned as underlying factors limiting productivity in the beekeeping sector. Other factors include occupancy rate, human activities like farming/agriculture, bee diseases, and pests and predators. We concluded that the size of the colony, availability of fodder, and bee species are the limiting factors for colony productivity in Tanzania. A study on bee breeding, colony selection, and productive bee species is suggested. The study provides empirical evidence and theoretical understanding of beekeeping, colony productivity, and theory of constraints to researchers, beekeepers, and policymakers.
