“…For example, New Zealand dairy contributes about 35% to total global dairy trade and exports 95% of the entire dairy produce in the country (Schewe, ). The country also provides more than 40% of total global lamb exports in the world (Ledgard et al, ).…”

Building relationship innovation in global collaborative partnerships: big data analytics and traditional organizational powers

This study examines how relationship innovation can be developed in global collaborative partnerships (alliances, joint ventures, mergers, and acquisitions). The recently emerging theory of big data analytics linked with traditional organizational powers has attracted a growing interest, but surprisingly little research has been devoted to this important and complex topic. Therefore, after developing the theoretical foundations, our study empirically quantifies the links between the theoretical constructs based on the data collected from chief executive officers, managing directors, and heads of departments who work in contemporary global data‐and‐information driven collaborative partnerships. The results from structural equation modeling indicate that the relationship innovation depends on the power of big data analytics and non‐mediated powers (NMP, expert and referent). The power of big data analytics also mediates the correlation between NMP and relationship innovation. However, mediated powers (coercive and manipulative) negatively affect the power of big data analytics and relationship innovation. The interaction effects further depict that analytically powered partnerships have better relationship innovation compared with those which focus less on the analytical power. Consequently, the contributions of this study provide a deeper understanding of mechanisms of how modern collaborative partnerships can use big data analytics and traditional organizational powers to co‐create relationship innovation.

“…Sheep meat is widely consumed around the world [17] even though it is currently considered by some as a niche product in developed countries [18]. To New Zealand, the economic significance of sheep meat is apparent: in the year ended June 2012, sheep meat alone made up almost half of the meat export revenue, equivalent to 5.9% of the country's total export revenue [19].…”

Lamb MuscleMeat Proteomics a b s t r a c t Lamb is one of the major red meats consumed globally, both as a key component in the diet of some countries, and as a niche meat product in others. Despite this relatively wide consumption, an in-depth description of the global protein composition of lamb has not been reported. In this study, we investigated the proteome of the 48 h post-mortem lamb longissimus lumborum through separation of the samples into sarcoplasmic, myofibrillar and insoluble fractions, followed by an in-depth shotgun proteomic evaluation and bioinformatic analysis. As a result, 388 ovine-specific proteins were identified and characterised.The 207 proteins found in the sarcoplasmic fraction were dominated by glycolytic enzymes and mitochondrial proteins. This fraction also contained several sarcomeric proteins, e.g., myosin light chains and titin. Some of them might be the degradation products from the post-mortem proteolysis. Actin, myosin and tropomyosin were abundant in the myofibrillar fraction while nebulin and titin were also present. Collagen type I, III and IV were found in the insoluble fraction but there were also sequences from myosin and titin. The present study also confirms the existence of at least 300 predicted protein sequences obtained from the latest issue of the sheep genome (version 3) with high confidence.

“…In East and South-East Asia, Latin America, Near East and North Africa, and South Asia, intensities are 23.0, 25.5, 27.9, and 29.0 kg CO 2 -eq/kg CW, respectively . In a lifecycle assessment of lamb meat for export in New Zealand, Ledgard et al (2011) found an average emission intensity of 19 kg CO 2 -eq/kg of lamb meat. In this investigation, the authors found that 80% of the emissions are produced within the farm (mainly CH 4 and N 2 O), 3% from processing, 5% from transportation and 12% from retail and home cooking.…”

Methane (CH 4 ) and nitrous oxide (N 2 O) are two important greenhouse gases (GHGs) that are emitted into the atmosphere by livestock during the process of enteric fermentation and manure management. Developing countries produce a large quantity of those emissions, caused mainly by inefficient animal rearing systems, feed production and manure management. This paper outlines the CH 4 and N 2 O emitted from livestock in developing countries and the mitigation actions that could be put in place to reduce atmospheric emissions and increase animal productivity. Emission intensity expresses emission (CO 2 equivalents) per unit of product and describes it in relation to the capacity of local animals to produce from local resources. Developing countries are characterized by low production per animal and, consequently, high emission intensity. The emission intensity of dairy cattle in developing countries ranges from 2 to 9 kg CO 2 -eq/kg fat and protein corrected milk (FPCM) and in only a few cases is below 2 kg CO 2 -eq/kg FPCM. In sub-Saharan Africa, the average emission intensity is 7.5 kg CO 2 -eq/kg FPCM for dairy cattle, 71 kg CO 2 -eq/kg of carcass weight for beef cattle, 6.9 kg CO 2 -eq/kg FPCM for sheep and goats, and 5 kg CO 2 -eq/kg eggs for chickens. Taking into account the limited economic and technical resources in most developing countries, the application of appropriate mitigation tools is recommended to reduce the emissions of CH 4 and N 2 O gases in the atmosphere. Increasing livestock productivity through selection and feeding is the most effective tool to reduce emission intensity. ______________________________________________________________________________________
