Using real cases of food fi rms and agriculture supply chains as a
context, How is Digitalization Affecting Agri-food? New Business
Models, Strategies and Organizational Forms aims to understand the
key themes in strategic and organizational research in this area.
Despite the importance of food and agriculture in the current
political and societal context, analysis of the impact of
digitalization and information technologies on the industry is
still limited. The objective of this monograph is to understand the
direction of this change. With case studies of food firms and
agriculture supply chains it sets out to conceptualize food
organizing and organizations as a fruitful object of inquiry, both
at the intra and interorganizational levels. It aims to understand
new business models, strategies, and organizational forms.
Contributions in this stream of research have the potential to
yield important and relevant insights for both scholars and
societies. This book is written primarily for academics engaged in
innovation management or strategy, or conducting organizational
behavior research. It will also be of relevance to practitioners
and managers in the agri-food industry.

Accomplishing sustainability in the agribusiness sector is a
significant, yet time-sensitive, challenge, especially when
balanced with the need to grow sufficient quantity and quality of
food to keep the growing global population healthy. Through both
quantitative and qualitative methods, this book explores the extent
to which the agribusiness sector is already evolving to become
sustainable and the ways in which innovation in the industry can
help address sustainable development goals, particularly around
zero hunger, gender equality, decent work, responsible consumption
and production, and climate action. The contributors to this volume
address the following key questions: What are the drivers and
barriers for the agribusiness sector to become sustainable? Which
business models best facilitate the implementation of sustainable
goals? How can we measure the extent to which the agribusiness
sector is becoming more sustainable? How can the agribusiness
sector leverage recent technological advancements to achieve its
sustainability goals? The analysis of the sustainability challenges
for the sector ranges across various facets of the industry
including employment, pre-production industries, agriculture, food
processing, distribution, and trade. This book will be of
significant interest to readers in agribusiness, innovation
management, and sustainability.

Reflecting the emergence of new organizational forms and hybrid
organizations, this edited collection explores the processes of
exchange, collaboration and technological management that have
changed organizational structures. By investigating the impact that
inter-organizational collaboration can have on the production and
implementation of ideas within new firms, this study contributes to
the growing field of innovation and responds to the need for a
greater understanding of renewed processes. The authors argue that
collaborations need to go beyond existing practices to create
emerging paths such as bricolage, experimentation, effectuation and
learning. Drawing together a diverse body of literature on the
internal dynamics that drive organizational change, Learning and
Innovation in Hybrid Organizations presents multiple perspectives
on combining organizational flexibility with learning and
innovation, and provides implications for future practice.
This book highlights the growing number of 'post-bureaucratic'
firms that are abandoning hierarchical organizational forms in
favor of self-managing teams. Addressing the need to outperform,
these new organization types foresee the benefits of an organic
structure with new and more indirect forms of control, and aim to
coordinate the activities of highly-skilled workers without relying
on a bureaucratic superstructure. The chapters explore the tensions
that exist between external and internal institutional forces. As
new forms of control strategies emerge, mostly value-based, this
book accounts for the cognitive categories, conventions, rules and
logic that should be integrated and combined with traditional forms
of managerial controls in order to enable co-existence with
established bureaucratic frameworks. This book will be of interest
to academics in the fields of organizational behavior and
innovation management, and also practitioners and managers aiming
to shift from a traditional hierarchical structure to
post-bureaucratic forms.
