Dans cette recherche, nous examinons les différences de perception entre gouvernance et entreprises au regard des pratiques institutionnelles d’innovation d’un technopôle et discutons l’impact de ces différences sur la performance d’innovation des entreprises technopolitaines. Ceci répond à un défi majeur du management public : évaluer l’efficacité des pratiques de gouvernance des pôles sur l’innovation. Notre analyse de la Technopole de l’Aube montre que, sur les vingt pratiques institutionnelles d’innovation, deux grandes différences perceptuelles émergent : l’une relative à la formulation de la stratégie et l’autre au développement de projets collaboratifs. Ces différences de perception pourraient influencer négativement la performance d’innovation des entreprises technopolitaines.

Globally, the demand for organic food rapidly rises and exceeds domestic supplies. Many are aware of the benefits of organic food, and it may guarantee a good lifestyle among the world’s populations. However, in most developing countries, including Malaysia, the supply growth of organic food cannot keep up with demand growth due to the slow transition from conventional to organic farming. To date, consumers are more preferred to choose food products that are naturally grown, good for health and may not harm the environment. This study examines the level of buying behaviour towards organic food among Malay consumers. Two hundred respondents were selected in this study by using the purposive sampling technique. The data were then analysed using descriptive analysis and measured using the mean score. The results showed high mean scores for all dependent and independent variables: consumer buying behaviour, attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioural control. Hence, this study can be concluded that Malay consumers would also like to consume organic food, but their socio-economic background may not permit them to have it frequently. The price of organic food is also known as pricey compared to non-organic. Hence, this study is significant for all stakeholders, including the farmer, policymaker, retailer and supplier, to ensure a good and sound organic food chain in Malaysia.
