目的
- 本文的目的是说明如何网络的角度可以用来确定网络的关键维度在驱动企业的绩效在农业食品价值链（AFVC）的重要性。本文旨在分析网络因素和增值任务因素对农产品加工企业绩效的影响
设计/方法/方式
- 本研究采用定量研究方法。基于一个说明性的实证案例，研究测试了一个简单的基于方差的反射结构方程模型的主要影响的基础上，在约旦AFVC的200家公司的样本。
结果
- 研究结果发现了企业网络的高阶因素，并证明了网络视角对企业绩效的作用，是AFVC改善长期业务的主要策略。研究结果表明，企业绩效主要受网络的三个关键因素（参与者、资源和活动）以及四个层次的增值任务（形式、时间、地点和占有）的驱动。
研究限制/影响
- 本研究对企业不同层级的管理者具有重要的启示意义。通过了解公司层面的合作伙伴之间以及网络中的公司之间最重要的各种因素，管理人员可以将精力集中在这些因素上，以促进成功的长期业务及其业绩。最后，作者进一步提出了一些管理建议，以更有效地管理AFVC在杠杆公司的业绩。
独创性/价值
- 这是为数不多的研究，探讨网络的价值链企业的因素之一。研究结果表明，网络视角可以将网络的关键因素和增值任务的水平联系起来，从而提高企业在AFVC中的绩效。
Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to illustrate how network perspective can be used to determine the importance of key dimensions of network in driving firm’s performance within an agri-food value chain (AFVC). It aims to analyze how factors of network and value added tasks have an impact on firm’s performance in the context of agri-food sector
Design/methodology/approach
– This research employs a quantitative method. Based on an illustrative empirical case, the research tests a simple variance-based reflective structural equation model with main effects based on a sample of 200 firms within AFVC in Jordan.
Findings
– The results identify the high-order factors of business networks and demonstrate the role of network perspective on firm’s performance, acting as the main strategy to improve long-term business in AFVC. The results show that firm’s performance is mostly driven by the three key factors of network (actors, resources and activities), as well as by the four levels of value added tasks (form, time, place and possession).
Research limitations/implications
– This research has important implications for different level managers at firms. By understanding the various factors that are most important between partners at the firm level and between firms in a network, managers can focus their efforts on these factors in order to foster successful long-term businesses and their performances. The author further provide some managerial recommendations for more effective management of AFVC in terms of leveraging firm’s performance.
Originality/value
– This is one of few studies that investigate factors of network in value chain firms. The results show that the network perspective can link both the key factors of network and the levels of value added tasks for better firm’s performance in AFVC.
