“…Increasingly, food consumers require health-oriented products tailored to their individual needs and preferences (Sarkar & Costa, 2008). This new trend has prompted firms, on the one hand, to employ more sophisticated marketing techniques to gain a better understanding of the needs of differentiated consumers (Boland, 2008). And on the other, it has compelled firms in the sector to create products borne of radical innovation (and, thus, to assume even greater risks and uncertainty in their development) while adopting technologically innovative solutions.…”

The research about the search for opportunities through open cooperation strategies points to an exchange of knowledge among a certain number of sources, aimed at sustaining competitive advantage. From this new vision emerges the paradigm of open innovation, which has prompted a change in the organization of resources, information filtering, and rapid absorptive capacity. Awareness of climate problems and external societal pressures can motivate companies to create new technologies and new forms of cooperation to avoid environmental problems. Based on a survey of Spanish agri-food firms, we find that the depth of external sources of innovation increases environmental improvement in a U-shaped relationship.

“…Boland (2008) illustrated that there are an increasing number of consumers who require personalized nutrition, and they are willing to pay a premium price to buy innovative food (Cohen et al, 2009;Hendry, 2010). Personalized nutrition becomes a mainstream in affluent societies (Boland, 2008), with a goal of healthy lifestyle (Boland, 2008;Martínez, 2008). At the same time, customers want to receive products and services with a certain degree of individualization (Gilmore and Pine, 1997;Franke et al, 2009).…”

Abstract3D chocolate printing provides the technology for manufacturing chocolates layer-bylayer, thus offering customers enhanced product value and personalized consumption experience. As business models in the chocolate industry are closely associated with the profitability of the supply chain constituents, it seems appropriate to investigate the financial viability of these supply-chain centric business models prior to their introduction in the real world. In this paper we present two business models pertaining to the supply chain for 3D printed chocolates; we evaluate the financial viability of these innovative models through the use of computer modeling and simulation. The study is based on the commercialization efforts of a UK based 3D chocolate printing technology provider (Choc Edge). The results of the study indicate that 1) the retailer dominant supply chain modelis a potentially disruptive business model innovations that are enabled by the 3D food printing technology, and as such, may pose a challenge to traditional high end chocolate products; 2) the manufacturer dominant model helps manufacturers gain more profits while retailer profits tend to be stagnant.
