“…In addition, studies in agricultural sectors have shown that organizational size is an explanatory factor of greater profitability (Castillo and García, 2013). The predominant organizational structure in the olive oil sector is that of the cooperative, and size plays a particularly prominent role in the grasping of opportunities in the environment based on criteria of profitability, innovation adoption, and efficiency (Gorgues et al, 2019;Moyano and Fidalgo, 2001). Based on these arguments, the following proposition may be formulated:…”

The Spanish olive oil sector is the world leader in terms of olive oil production. This sector primarily comprises companies in the social economy, especially cooperatives, which account for more than 75% of production. The emergence of second-tier cooperatives has enabled the implementation of one of the recurring recommendations by scholars, namely enhancing the commercialization of olive oil through greater concentration and integration of supply. This improved commercialization is made possible in part by the greater capacity of these companies to invest in information and communication technologies (ICTs) and human capital specialized in managing these ICTs. The use of the Internet gives these companies access to a market of unparalleled dimensions. In light of this situation, this study examines the factors that explain a higher level of online sales activity by these firms. To do so, fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) is used. The results show that age, size, the management’s ICT training, social network activity, and outsourced ICT management are associated with greater online sales of olive oil by second-tier cooperatives.

“…In this sense, authors such as Pavitt (2003) maintain that the organizations of greater antiquity can find greater difficulties in innovation, because they have adopted organizational and commercial automatisms that make them more reticent and, therefore, present a worse business performance (Cucculelli et al, 2014). Innovation and market orientation is an essential aspect of profitability in the agri-food sector (Gorgues et al, 2019). Similarly, it has also been noted that younger organizations are more prone to innovation and better adaptation to markets (Frenkel et al, 2001), which translates into better organizational practices and greater economic efficiency.…”

Olive oil is one of the main agricultural products of the countries that make up the Mediterranean basin. The low profitability of this sector of activity and the growing challenges of an increasingly turbulent market force the sector to search for more efficient organization. The aim of this paper is to determine the organisational and technological factors associated with the most economically efficient Tunisian olive-growing organisations. To this end, firstly the Data Envelopment Analysis method has been used to establish a hierarchy of the most efficient organizations. Secondly, the Qualitative Comparative Analysis method has been used, which allows us to establish the relationships of variables that explain the highest levels of economic efficiency. The results obtained show that the academic training of the top manager, training in information technology, the age of the organisation and the existence of plans and budget items for the adoption of information and communication technologies are variables that explain this greater efficiency.

Nuestro estudio analiza el papel de la innovación en el logro de un mejor posicionamiento estratégico de almazaras cooperativas a través de su reputación. La necesidad de diferenciación en la industria del aceite de oliva se considera una cuestión fundamental en su futuro. Lo anterior justifica nuestro objetivo de diseñar una escala de medida para abordar la medición de la innovación cooperativa al entenderla fundamental para mejorar la reputación de estas empresas y, por extensión, para diferenciarse en un mercado tan complejo como el del aceite de oliva. La metodología utilizada ha incorporado dos fases. La revisión bibliográfica ha sido fundamental para la creación de un modelo conceptual que vincule a estos dos activos: innovación y reputación. Como segunda etapa metodológica, la técnica Delphi con expertos del campo de la innovación y del ámbito cooperativo, nos ha permitido la adaptación de la literatura previa al caso concreto que nos ocupa. Nuestros resultados han validado una escala basada en indicadores mayoritariamente de tipo no financiero para abordar la medición de las variables innovación y reputación permitiendo a través de la misma tanto ayudar a una más adecuada gestión de la innovación por parte de los gerentes de almazaras como aprovechar el máximo beneficio en términos reputacionales.
