“…Moreover, even within this area, clustered patterns of adoption were evident on the landscape, that seem to grow out of farmer-to-farmer interactions in the Kickapoo Valley region of this study [40]. This pattern of clustering of organic dairy farmers was also evident in other geographic areas [41,42]. In this particular region, there is a growing proportion of dairy farms being owned by Amish farmers (about 10% of the state's dairy) [43].…”

Abstract:Bounded rationality is an especially appropriate framework for organic dairy adoption decisions as it recognizes internal and external constraints which are critical in understanding complex farm decision making. Farmers use of, and access to, information is examined using interview data gathered from organic, conventional, managed graziers, and Amish dairy farmers in Southwestern Wisconsin at a time when organic milk prices offered a 50% premium over conventional prices. Focusing on certain aspects and impressions of organic dairy, such as the sentiment that -milk is milk‖, may lead to information satisficing where farmers do not take full advantage of the information available to them. Organic farmer interviews reveal the challenges they faced with bounded rationality constraints and how they countered these challenges with the help of social networks, as well as how situational factors such as economic and health crises may have motivated them to adopt organic dairy. The interview data from organic and conventional farmers alike also reveals how many conventional dairy farmers utilized information strategies which did not fully consider the pros and cons of the organic system. A bounded rationality framework could enlighten policy makers and educators as they tailor sustainable agricultural policy design and information dissemination strategies to serve the diversity of farmers on the landscape.

“…Finally, (real and virtual) social networks matter for the establishment of new consumption patterns. They can contribute significantly to a diffusion of consumers' behavioral patterns and values (Robertson et al 1996;Valente 1996;Nyblom et al 2003;Deffuant et al 2005). Recent studies show that attitudes are substantial for the development of social relationships and that, in turn, social relationships considerably influence behavior and attitudes.…”

“…However, these models are very restrictive because they imply an absence of asymmetries, intransitivity or subgroups in the existing relationships in the network. Nyblom et al (2003) have put forward a recent application of this type of model. Beyond these general models, the effects of technology-based networks on innovative behaviour and attitudes can also be predicted by analysing the structure of relations at different levels: nodal (individual), diadic, triadic, subgroup and whole network (Cf.…”

The majority of all Spanish youths aged 12-17 use online social networking sites (internet and mobile technology), according to a new local survey of teenagers conducted by Valencia University, Fepad & the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia. The survey also found that older teens, in particular girls, are more likely to use these sites. For girls, social networking sites are places to reinforce preexisting friendships, while for boys these networks provide opportunities for flirting and making new friends. In both cases, business relations in the future will be influenced by this new relationship method with 'new business relationships' being taken on by 'digital natives' as opposed to the current 'digital immigrants' who have not taken on board this network technology as quickly. The objective of this study is to present our research on the relationship between web 2.0 technologies and the behaviour and personality of the teenagers who form the object of the study as well as the potential dependencies, and resulting personal, academic and family disorders that may stem from abuse of these technologies, especially via mobile phones. The main objective is to explore how web-based technologies lessen or generate different types of disorders in today's society, particularly amongst teenagers.
