dc.description.abstract |
Aims: Collective actions in the agribusiness sector take a variety of forms, including farmer
cooperatives and supply chain coordination. Literature has acknowledged that agribusiness farms
which engage in collective actions generate greater value-add and enhance socio-economic
contributions of a country. However, its relative importance along with the dynamic capabilities
possessed by farms and subsequently competitive advantage has received very little research
attention. This study aims to fill the gap by determining their relationships by employing the
resource-based view in combination with the dynamic capability theories.
Study Design: Specifically, the minor export crop farm owners involved in the commercial
cultivation of cinnamon, pepper and clove in Sri Lanka were surveyed using a personallyadministered,
structured questionnaire.
Results: The results of regression-based path analysis indicate a significant relationship between collective actions and competitive advantage, as well as between collective actions and dynamic
capabilities.
Conclusion: The study has extended our understanding of the importance of collective actions for
the minor export crop farm owners. Research and managerial implications are provided together
with future research directions. |
