“…For Lin (2007), information sharing should be understood as a culture of social interactions, due to the exchange of knowledge, Reflexos do compartilhamento de informações e da inovação colaborativa na responsabilidade social de cooperativas experiences, and skills. Galappaththi et al (2016) add that in the economic conception, information is a resource that can be used for income generation and business activities, if it is widely shared and easily accessible; otherwise, it can become a barrier, triggering negative results. Khan, Hussain, and Saber (2016) point to information sharing as a basis for developing, maintaining, and strengthening the process of managing the environmental and social impacts of a supply chain.…”

“…According to the International Cooperative Alliance (ICA, 2018), a cooperative is defined as an autonomous association of people voluntarily united to satisfy their common economic, social, and cultural needs and aspirations through a jointly and democratically controlled enterprise. For Galappaththi et al (2016), cooperatives are locally owned entities, owned by their members and managed collectively, and affect the wellbeing of the community. The members are simultaneously owners, controllers, and economic partners and, therefore, the cooperative's main stakeholders.…”

This is vital for the socio-economic well-being of those involved in the collaboration and its socio-ecological sustainability (Galappaththi, Kodithuwakku, & Galappaththi, 2016).…”

Purpose-This study analyzes the reflections of information sharing and collaborative innovation in the social responsibility, in its environmental, economic, and social dimensions, of cooperatives that form part of strategic alliances. Design/methodology/approach-A survey was conducted of managers of Brazilian agricultural cooperatives that have strategic alliances and 91 valid questionnaires were obtained. The data collected were analyzed through structural equation modeling. Findings-Information sharing had positive effects on collaborative innovation and the environmental dimension of social responsibility. No significant relationships were found between information sharing and social responsibility, in the economic and social dimensions, nor between collaborative innovation and social responsibility, in the environmental and economic dimensions. Originality/value-The main contribution of the research is to examine the links between information sharing, collaborative innovation, and social responsibility. The study provides empirical evidence that information sharing between cooperative partnerships favors the exploration of new knowledge/technologies. It also reveals that information sharing helps social responsibility in its environmental dimension by providing information that can contribute to reducing the environmental impact of the activities of cooperative alliances. However, it suggests that information sharing influences collaborative innovation and social responsibility in its environmental dimension, but not in its economic and social dimensions.

“…The roles of community cooperatives are very important in sharing information of culture technique, disease outbreak, harvest prices, etc. among farmers (Galappaththi, Kodithuwakku, & Galappaththi, 2016). In fact, most Artemia farms in VC and BL are governed by local cooperatives which are community‐based constituents for technical and commercial assistances in Artemia farming.…”

Data envelopment analysis for production efficiency improvement: An empirical application on brine shrimp Artemia franciscana culture in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam

Artemia culture in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam, is becoming more and more important to satisfy the global demands of cyst production. Nevertheless, Artemia cyst productivity in the Mekong Delta has been fluctuating largely due to not only technical inefficiencies and external factors but also farms’ characteristics. This study employed a data envelopment analysis to evaluate the production efficiencies in correlation with biological and cost inputs of Artemia culture in Vinh Chau and Bac Lieu located in the Mekong Delta. The key factors affecting technical efficiency (TE) were determined using ordinary least squares regression model. The empirical results indicated that production efficiencies of farms in Vinh Chau and Bac Lieu were similar with metatechnology ratios of 0.97 and 0.96 respectively. About 62.8% of surveyed farms were operating in technically inefficient circumstances. Farmers’ experience, educational level and culture technique training participation had positive effects on TE, while climate effects and water problems have been proved to have negative effects on TE. To improve production efficiency, inefficient farms are suggested to have moderately increasing combinations of organic fertilizer, chemical and feed. The use of probiotics should be reduced as it increases production cost and affects TE. Notably, a collaboration of scientists and feed processing companies is recommended to produce a specific formulated feed for Artemia in commercial scales. This study also proposes adaptive policies for local governments and cooperatives to assist coastal famers in the Mekong Delta overcome technical inefficiencies, improve cyst productivity and obtain economic sustainability in Artemia culture.

“…Learning can take place within the network of place-based elements (for example, community institutions such as cooperatives). Also, such interactions can be negative and could disrupt learning (for example, the accumulation of vulnerability when community cooperatives are malfunctioning) [41]. Second, interconnectedness among such elements creates feedback across different levels and scales that change the dynamics and complexities of SES [42,43].…”

There is a rapidly growing body of scholarship on climate change adaptation in diverse contexts globally. Despite this, climate adaptation at the community level has not received adequate conceptual attention, and a limited number of analytical frameworks are available for assessing place-specific adaptations, particularly in a fisheries context. We use conceptual material from social-ecological systems (SES) resilience and human development resilience to build an integrated framework for evaluating community adaptations to climate change in a fisheries setting. The framework defines resilience as the combined result of coping, adapting, and transforming-recognizing resilience as a system's capacity and as a process. This understanding of resilience integrates with the three development resilience concepts of resistance, rootedness, and resourcefulness to develop 'place-based elements' which refer to collective action, institutions, agency, and indigenous and local knowledge systems. The proposed framework can capture a local setting's place-specific attributes relating to the well-being of individuals, households, and communities, and the through integration of SES and human development conceptualizations addresses some of the key critiques of the notion of resilience. We have proposed this framework for application in context-specific environments-including fisheries-as a means of assessing community adaptations.
