“…This is in line with the idea that being first-mover does not always provide a significant advantage in terms of innovation, and that second-movers benefit from an experience that is more useful in terms of performance than being the first on the market (Bocquet, Brossard and Sabatier, 2007).…”

PurposeThis paper aims to provide evidence of the major role of non‐technological activities in the innovation process. It seeks to highlight the effects of marketing and organizational innovation strategies on technological innovation performance.Design/methodology/approachThe paper tests theoretical hypotheses on a sample of 555 firms of the Fourth Community Innovation Survey (CIS 4) in 2006 in Luxembourg. Data are analyzed through a generalized Tobit model.FindingsEvidence is found to support the impact of innovation in the marketing and organization fields on a firm's capacity to innovate, but not on the innovative performance. The paper also statistically shows that the effects of non‐technological innovation differ depending on the phase of the innovation process.Research limitations/implicationsThe causal link and the question of time frame between the various innovations could be further investigated, especially through longitudinal studies. Further research should also focus on the differences between large versus small firms, and service versus industrial firms.Practical implicationsThe effects of non‐technological innovation are not the same according to whether the firm is in the first step of the innovation process (i.e. being innovative), or in a later step (i.e. innovative performance). Managers should be aware of these various effects in order to efficiently adopt non‐technological innovation strategies.Originality/valueFew works have taken into account the role of other innovative strategies such as marketing and organization. As far as is known, this is the first study based on recent CIS data that looks at the interrelations between different types of innovation.

“…This result confirms other empirical studies (SUNDING & ZILBERMAN, 2001;VICENTE, 2002;BOCQUET et al, 2007;GALLIANO & OROZCO, 2011 ). In agriculture, the size of the farm is a key factor in explaining the adoption of technologies.…”

They are in accordance with the literature review on technology adoption (FEDER et al, 1985;MILGROM & ROBERTS, 1990;VICENTE, 2002;BOCQUET et al, 2007;MONTEIRO & CASWELL, 2009;CANAVARI et al, 2010;GALLIANO & OROZCO, 2011;SOUZA FILHO et al, 2011;DILL et al, 2015;VINHOLIS et al, 2016).…”

“…Some of them may speed up, while other may slow down or even prevent diffusion (SUNDING & ZILBERMAN, 2001). BOCQUET et al (2007) described two approaches for the study on technology adoption and diffusion. In the first, the diffusion of an innovation can be either fostered or hampered by exogenous determinants.…”

“…It is assumed that an innovation is adopted as part of the firm's overall strategy. Therefore, other organizational and technological practices are jointly adopted (BOCQUET et al, 2007). Empirical studies use both approaches to identify determinants of technology adoption (VICENTE, 2002;BOCQUET et al, 2007;MONTEIRO & CASWELL, 2009;CANAVARI et al, 2010;GALLIANO & OROZCO, 2011;LIAO et al, 2011;DILL et al, 2015;VINHOLIS et al, 2016).…”

Adoption of beef cattle traceability at farm level in São Paulo State, Brazil

This paper aimed to identify the determinants of beef traceability adoption at farm level in São Paulo State, Brazil. A sample survey of 32 farmers who adopted the European Union certified traceability and 52 other farmers who did not adopt traceability provided data to test hypotheses on determinant factors. Three binomial logit models were used in the analysis. Results suggested that capital-intensive livestock production system, high scale production, access to specialized information and high level of human and social capital play significant role in the adoption decision.

International audienceThis paper aims to understand what factors influence firms to adopt electronic traceability systems (ETS) and notably the respective effects of the firm's internal characteristics, its vertical relations and its external environment. Traceability systems based on information and communication technologies (ICT) allow firms to collect, track, stock and transfer information on a range of product attributes. This study contributes to further understand traceability adoption by applying ICT adoption models to the case of ETS, and by using an original dataset, the 2002 ICT Survey, representative of all French agribusiness. The results suggest that a firm's degree of complexity (growing size, belonging to a group) and the development of its information system play a significant role in its adoption behavior. Moreover, they show that ETS adoption is more driven by a firm's narrow relations with specialized suppliers and downstream processors than by retailers
