 Innovation and Power in Food Supply Chains: The Case of the Potato Sector in the UKCesar Revoredo-Giha, Philip M.K. Leat, Alan Renwick and Chrysa Lamprinopoulou-Kranis No 142544, Working Papers from Scotland's Rural College (formerly Scottish Agricultural College), Land Economy & Environment Research Group Abstract: This paper deals with innovation in supply chains and discusses the effects that its organisation (e.g., bargaining power along the chain) might bring on innovation and ultimately to the sustainability of the chain. The analysis was carried out considering the case of the UK potato sector and by comparing three case studies: the first two consider the situation of a supply chain that sells fresh potatoes to retailers (one in South England and another in Scotland), whilst the third one consists of a supply chain that produces potatoes to be further processed. The results indicate that the supply chain leader plays an important role in both in the organisation of the chain and in the initialisation, management and success of the innovation Keywords: Agricultural and Food Policy; Food Consumption/Nutrition/Food Safety (search for similar items in EconPapers) Downloads: (external link) Related works: Export reference: BibTeX RIS (EndNote, ProCite, RefMan) HTML/Text Persistent link: https://EconPapers.repec.org/RePEc:ags:srlewp:142544 Access Statistics for this paper More papers in Working Papers from Scotland's Rural College (formerly Scottish Agricultural College), Land Economy & Environment Research Group Contact information at EDIRC. |
