“…A agilidade é um conceito dinâmico, segundo Floricel e Piperca (2018), voltado para ambientes com características de volatilidade, incertezas, complexidades e ambiguidade. Tais ambientes, de acordo com San Cristóbal et al (2019), são sujeitos às mudanças tecnológicas, bem como à diversidade de atores emodelos de negócios. Essas características seriam encontradas em organizações e ecossistemas de inovação.…”

A agricultura brasileira é um caso de sucesso em termos de inovação tecnológica, explicado, entre outros fatores, pela dinâmica construída entre organizações de pesquisa e atores do agronegócio, que caracterizam um ecossistema de inovação. O conceito de “agilidade” é central na competitividade e na esfera do gerenciamento de tais ecossistemas. A agilidade tem sido discutida como habilidade de adaptação para melhoria das capacidades de inovação de organizações em ambientes marcados por alta complexidade. Busca-se apresentar as definições e os conceitos de ecossistema de inovação e agilidade, bem como sua relação com os ambientes institucionais. A análise auxilia a compreensão dessa abordagem para a construção de políticas públicas e diretrizes para a gestão da inovação no setor agropecuário. Por ser elo importante no ecossistema de inovação no agronegócio, a Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária (Embrapa) será objeto de estudo. Resultados de avaliação experimental e exploratória são apresentados, demonstrando haver exemplos na busca de agilidade. Espera-se compreender melhor os desafios de repensar os processos de inovação no agronegócio brasileiro.

“…The Project Management Institute (PMI) [1] defines project management as a way of creating value and staying competitive in the business environment. The role of project management comes into prominence in industries such as construction, information technologies (IT), and manufacturing [2]. The project management body of knowledge correlates with 10 knowledge areas, with procurement management being one of them [1].…”

Leveraging Smart Contract in Project Procurement through DLT to Gain Sustainable Competitive Advantages

2021

Project delivery on time, with agreed quality and assigned budget, is the desire of project-based companies. Time, quality, and cost are determinants of project success; however, organisations suffer from achieving these three success criteria at the same time. Failures in project delivery cause the loss of the competitive advantage. The recent digital technologies introduce smart contracts to supply chain (SC) operations for improving SC processes. Project procurement is the area for smart contract implementation to deliver successful projects and gain sustainable competitive advantages. The aim of this study was in explaining how smart contracts benefit project organisations through project procurement. Qualitative research design guided this research with phenomenology. Semi-structured interviews generated the data. The obtained research data were analysed with thematic, textual, and discourse analysis. Published industry reports were used to triangulate the data. This study demonstrated an integrated relationship model to answer the research question. The research findings initially identified the fact that smart contracts improve procurement efficiency through cost, time, and quality. Secondly, smart contracts build a trust-less platform where reliability is delivered and reinforced with transparency, traceability, and security. This study found that enhanced procurement efficiency and reliability meet requirements to gain sustainable competitive advantages. This study intends to contribute to industry practices and future research. The correlation of project procurement management success, smart contracts, and sustainable competitive advantages are expected to guide feature research and business practices.

“…The complex projects management in dynamic environments will be the hallmark of the industry 4.0 and innovation through ecosystems (Iansiti & Lakhani, 2014). The result is increasingly complex projects due to technological changes, diversity of actors, business models, and business environment (San Cristóbal et al, 2019). This complexity is related to several factors such as the number of variables/components and the interaction between them (Luo et al, 2017).…”
