This study investigates the topic of innovation strategies based on tradition in the wake of sustainability, in the agritourism sector, as derived from the phenomenon of multifunctionality in agriculture. The results reveal that the tangible and intangible resources that originate from tradition are drivers for innovation. The research highlights how tradition, as grounded on diverse foundations, is able to generate novel products and services stemming from an innovative arrangement of past events, particularly the identity of a place, which brings out its authenticity and makes it even more attractive. In this paper, we delve into the multifaceted outcomes that tangible and intangible traditions have on the innovation and distinctive standing of this rising accommodation offer with regard to post-productivism agriculture, and how this is accomplished while also looking for sustainability. The sourced dataset is based on a qualitative investigation of 10 cases in the Salento area of Puglia, a region of southern Italy. Tradition-grounded strategies proved to have several viable routes leading to innovation and bear positive impacts on the territory and the creation of value, yielding significant results both for scholars and practitioners.

“…In particular, studies investigated the local or regional level, which is considered the most proximate geographical area of the INVs (Spigel, 2013). Studies in this stream focused on how elements of a regional context, such as industries (e.g., Aoyama, 2009; Fritsch & Falck, 2007; Gherhes et al, 2020), clusters (e.g., Davidsson, 1995), embedded knowledge (e.g., Agarwal et al, 2010), culture (e.g., Aoyama, 2009; Arrak et al, 2020; George & Zahra, 2002; Kalisz et al, 2021; Sweeney, 1991) and tradition (e.g., De Massis et al, 2016; Messeni Petruzzelli et al, 2020; Messeni Petruzzelli & Savino, 2015) play a paramount role in the creation, emergence and survival of INVs. To highlight the combined effect of culture, industrial and business tradition, Aoyama (2009) introduced the concept of RL, which is the result of the combined effect of a region’s dominant business, industry practices and regional culture.…”

Innovative new ventures (INVs) cope with the lack of legitimacy and liability of newness that may hinder their likelihood of survival. Those risks increase with the novelty introduced by the INV. Radically INVs are the ones that have the highest degree of novelty, and, consequently, face the highest risks. Understanding the elements and mechanisms that sustain radically INVs is of paramount importance due to the great benefits they bring to society. This article explores how the regional legacy, defined as the combined effect of regional business and industrial practices and culture, supports those ventures in facing those risks. The regional culture and tradition create a sense of familiarity in stakeholders that facilitates the understanding of the radically INV, lowering the lack of legitimacy. Meanwhile, the shared culture within a region favours the creation of a collaborative climate that allows the radically INVs to access relevant resources and, finally, reduce the liability of newness.

“…by property rights, it cannot be appropriable through market transactions (Grant, 1996). Petruzzelli et al (2020) observed the importance of tradition for firms to increase their appropriability, where firms can make efforts to rediscover and reuse old competencies and knowledge. Duarte Alonso et al (2021) found signs of appropriability among micro businesses, where the owners were able to cement their knowledge and business acumen, transforming them into a competitive factor.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to shed new light on empirical and conceptual aspects related to chefs’ careers and the hospitality sector. The study examines how the future of the chef’s profession is perceived, how future generations of chefs could be developed and the main emerging trends within the chef’s scene. Design/methodology/approach Semi-structured, face-to-face, online and telephone interviews were conducted with 34 chefs operating in Australia and 35 in Vietnam. Findings The findings reveal ten dimensions that strongly adhere to knowledge management (KM) and the notions of the knowledge-based view of the firm. In addition, numerous differences in how the two groups perceived aspects of their careers transpire. Based on these findings, a conceptual framework was developed, with important theoretical and practical implications. Practical implications The importance of KM through talent development, mentoring, creating a learning environment and enhancing problem-solving skills is highlighted. Originality/value While scholarly works emphasise chefs’ value, importance and contributions, little is known about the links between their careers and KM. Furthermore, almost no study has compared chefs across geographic/cultural domains. The study addresses these research gaps and contributes to the conceptual understanding of KM within the chefs’ domain.
