“…Pig production has a short time cycle in which to achieve a return on investment – around 296 days (Trujillo-Díaz et al , 2019). Currently, the lack of benefits, economic incentives, tax reductions, credit programmes or R&D support from the government have generated three concerns that affect the performance of the pig SC (Dias et al , 2015; Dunay and Vinkler-Rajcsányi, 2016).…”

“…The data were obtained from a 20-question interview form based on the study developed by Trujillo-Díaz et al (2019) and applied to multiple actors in the pig SC. The pig sector has a high potential for the development of the economy in Colombia (Porkcolombia, 2019a); however, it does not have enough technological development and knowledge transfer or government subsidies which support it (Trujillo-Díaz et al , 2019). The pig market in Colombia is set by importers, producers and small pig farmers (Ministerio de Agricultura y Desarrollo Rural, 2019).…”

“…The small pig farmers have many limitations due to high production costs and a lack of technology, resources and incentives for production and training, all of which items, along with quality and traceability, are the key requirements for encouraging pork commercialisation (Herrera et al , 2018a, b; Rodriguez-Takeuchi and Imai, 2013). Although small pig farmers want to better innovation processes, they do not have enough economic resources to develop the necessary technologies to improve their performance (Trujillo-Díaz et al , 2019).…”

PurposeThis paper aims to determine how a strategic innovation framework that integrates the concepts of innovation function, dynamic performance management (DPM) and system-dynamics (SD) modelling can measure performance in a supply chain (SC).Design/methodology/approachThe paper provides a strategic innovation framework for an SC by considering three steps. First, a systemic intervention is presented based on the innovation functions that influence SC performance. Second, an analysis of the system's performance is proposed. Third, a model SD-based simulation is designed. The developed framework is explained by employing a case study of the Colombian pig sector SC.FindingsThe results reveal that identifying and synchronising the system's performance drivers associated with the innovation functions could improve the inventory in the SC.Practical implicationsOn the one hand, managers can use the proposed framework to evaluate the innovation investments and understand their impact on operation performance (e.g. on inventories). On the other hand, policymakers may support decision-making to improve policy design (e.g. through investment in R&D).Originality/valueFew studies discuss the impacts of innovation functions on SC performance. This paper aims to fill this theoretical gap and to contribute to the literature by suggesting a novel framework which includes innovation functions.

“…The SI competitiveness has been measured through profitability, management, and infrastructure indexes (AHDB, 2011;Duflot et al, 2014;Trujillo-Diaz et al, 2019a). Nevertheless, SI competitiveness and knowledge management (KM) should be measured considering multidimensional variables and dimensions (Trujillo-Diaz et al, 2019b).…”

The Colombian Swine Industry (CSI) has high pork carcass imports from the US due to the Free Trade Agreements (FTA) signed. The CSI is aimed at supplying domestic demand because not all departments are free of swine fever. In fact, pig farmers are focused on controlling the feeding costs and biosafety, and increasing the birth rate. The problem of the CSI is the search to increase profitability and eliminate intermediaries to be able to reach the consumer directly. This study is descriptive, and aims to identify the state-of-the-art of worldwide practices compared to the central Andean region of Colombia (CARC). For this, a measurement instrument was designed to identify the CSI practices, and the results were used to identify the improvement points for the CARC region. This instrument was validated with ten experts in terms of content, and these were not considered in the sampling. The results were obtained through a probabilistic sampling for a finite population comprised of pig farms located in the departments of Cundinamarca, Boyacá, Tolima, and Huila. The identified population was 191 pig farmers located in the CARC, and the sample calculated to be surveyed, was 50 pig farmers; however, the response rate was higher, and the measurement instrument was applied to 53 pig farmers. As a result, pig farmers want to create new business lines, but there is no trust with competitors. Besides, there is a deficit in technology, infrastructure, public policies, and economic incentives.
