“…The logic behind this can be viewed as an adaptation of the triple helix model (Leydesdorff & Etzkowitz, 1998;Leydesdorff & Meyer, 2006;Westeren, Cader, Sales, Similä, & Staduto, 2018). Specifically, the three components of the triple helix model include: (i) wealth generation-here from benefits derived from the tourism product; (ii)…”

Tourism demand within peripheral regions reflects visitor motivations to seek experiences constrained by attributes that involve the abilities of these visitors. Often, the basis of tourism supply is driven by accessible publicly-owned common-pool resources that exist as regional economic assets yet are unpriced in the marketplace. Free-riding prevails as rent-seeking firms utilize non-marketed natural and cultural assets in their production practices. The work reported here develops concepts that illustrate keys to successful cultural tourism entrepreneurship using a case study of a festival on the Norwegian coast that features the treasured literary works of Olav Duun. Results suggest that public-private partnerships can be used to stimulate entrepreneurial activity. Further, success is a function of managerial expertise in attaining visitor experience that falls within the flow channel.

“…The central strength of skills as a result of knowledge is that it can improve in value by learning, unlike physical capital assets. Firms can determine the value of knowledge capital using the following keywords, see e. g. MERITUM (2002) and Westeren et al (2018):…”

“…After some time, the innovative idea has gained sufficient maturity and thereby gained trust, so the organization is willing to invest resources in actual development of a spark that now has become a project. Westeren (2017) and Westeren et al (2018) show that cultural differences may play an important role in how successful the organization is to convert an innovative idea into a project. Innovation management has turned into a science of its own, see e. g. .…”

“…Innovation is currently one of the most discussed topics in economics and about societal development in general, cf. Westeren et al (2018), where there is a thorough discussion of innovation in theory and practice. It is not easy to interview employees in firms about innovation and innovative suggestions because one must try to distinguish this from suggestions for changes in production more generally.…”

“…The question of a proper understanding and evaluation of the levels and factors of competitiveness of governing structures of farming activities (farms of different type), have been among the most topical academic, ago-business, and policies issues (Falciola et al, 2020;Dresch et al, 2018;Westeren et al, 2020;Wisenthige and Guoping, 2016). There are numerous publications on the competitiveness of farms of different sizes (Alam, et al, 2020;Giaime et al, 2016;Котева, 2016;Latruffe, 2013;Mmari, 2015;Ngenoh et al, 2019;Orlowska, 2019), in major agrarian industries (Alam et al, 2020;Ngenoh et al, 2019;Benson, 2007;FAO, 2010;Иванов et al, 2020;Kleinhanss, 2020;Marques et al, 2015;Oktariani et al, 2016;Zietara and Adamski, 2018), diverse farming systems (Marques et al, 2015;Oktariani et al, 2016;Zietara and Adamski, 2018;, specific geographical and ecological regions (Lundy et al, 2010;Ngenoh et al, 2019;Marques et al, 2015;Nowak, 2019), its key driving factors (Giaime and Mulligan, 2016;Mmari, 2015;Ngenoh et al, 2019;Oktariani et al, 2016;OECD, 2011), etc.…”

The farm is an abstract category in Economic theory for describing agents managing farming activity, while the real governing structures are farms of different juridical types – physical persons, sole traders, cooperatives, ago=companies, etc. Most of the time, farm’s competitiveness is inadequately assessed through technical and accountancy efficiency, factors’ productivity, profitability, market shares, etc. because critical governance aspects are ignored. This article incorporates the interdisciplinary New Institutional Economics assumptions and principles and tries to give new insights on the real competitiveness of economic organizations in modern agriculture. It suggests a holistic framework for assessing farm’ competitiveness taking into account economic, financial, and governance efficiency, and evaluates absolute and comparative competitiveness of governing structures of Bulgarian farming. The novel assessment system includes four pillars, four criteria, 17 particular, and 5 integral indicators. The first-in-kind evaluation, based on survey data, found that the competitiveness of Bulgarian farms is good. The competitiveness of cooperatives is highest, followed by corporations and associations, sole traders, and physical persons. Critical for competitive positions of farms are: low productivity, income, financial security, and adaptability to natural environment, where public support and farms’ management strategies should be directed. Large shares of the country’s farms have low competitiveness, and if measures are not taken to improve management, restructuring, state support, etc., many farms will cease to exist in the near future. In some cases, other characteristics of governing structures like size, specialization, market orientation, and ecological location, are critical for determining competitiveness level. The suggested and successfully tested framework for assessing the competitiveness of farms should be further improved and applied more widely and periodically in the country and internationally. The precision and representativeness of the information used should also be improved by increasing the number of surveyed farms and their important characteristics. The later requires close cooperation with producer organizations, national agricultural advisory service, and other interested parties as well as extending and improving the system for collecting agro-statistical information in the country and the EU.
