“…Pakistan has large livestock populations encompassing a high number of local breeds that are well adapted to local conditions. Totally 40% of all income stems from livestock (Burki et al, 2004;Shahid et al, 2012). 35 million people (GoP, 2008-09).…”

“…Reviewing past government policies in the livestock sector, Burki et al (2005) note that the Second Five Year Plan, which shifted the focus towards large-scale manufacturing development, was unable to address the issue of increasing milk production capacity. The authors point out that the seed-fertilizer-water revolution overshadowed non-crop agricultural issues, such as those in the livestock sector.…”

The paper focuses on Idara-e-Kissan, a vertically integrated cooperative in the dairy sector, which procures fresh milk, processes it and uses the profits earned in urban milk product markets to provide development services to member farmers. The analysis suggests that, compared to a control group of non-members, the cooperative's members had 29% higher net returns per milk animal, 9% more milk buffaloes, 6% fewer dry buffaloes and they used three times more milk fat-enhancing cottonseed cake. The members had better access to animal vaccination, artificial insemination, and visits from livestock extension workers; they were able to secure more animal treatments per year, and reported greater satisfaction with service provision. The cooperative's successes were more modest in areas where the benefits of inputs and services provided were more public, e.g. livestock breed improvement and enhancing fodder productivity, indicating that there is an important role for the government in supplying public goods such as livestock/agriculture R&D. JEL Classification: L66, Q12, Q16, Q181 The traditional milk collector who goes from door to door collects the milk and sells it to other consumers in the village, nearby town, or to milk shops or beoparis/dodhis from the town. 2 Village milk collector, a term popularized by commercial milk collectors such as Nestle, Idara-e-Kissan and others, refers to the person collecting milk from farmers on their behalf. The VMC does not go from door to door but maintains a fixed place in the village where the individual farmers bring their milk.

“…The dairy industry is an important contributor to the agriculture based economy of Pakistan (Burki et al 2004;PDDC 2006;FAO 2011). It has been estimated that 30-35 million people are engaged in raising animals, milk production activity and that rural people derive 30-40% of their income thereof (PDDC 2006;ACO 2010).…”

“…Given the large number of actors in the food supply chain and their heterogeneous requirements, firms need to collaborate with other firms within the supply chain in order to create and capture value thereby remaining competitive (Grunert et al 2005). The Pakistani dairy industry shows huge potential to become competitive if firms prepare themselves to innovate through buyer-supplier relationships (Burki et al 2004;PDDC 2006;Younas 2013). Therefore, the study intends to understand the managerial influence on collaborative innovation performance for enhancing dairy industry competitiveness.…”

Collaborative innovation in the Pakistan’s dairy industry: effectiveness of managerial leadership and organizational readiness

Buyer-supplier relationships have become increasingly important for generating innovation in the food industry. Despite extensive literature in this area of research, the most specific question of managerial leadership fostering innovation collaboratively has received considerably less attention.This could be one reason why collaborative innovation remains largely elusive for managers.Scholars have urged the theoretical development and empirical validation in this area of inquiry.The study empirically relates two important areas of strategic management research: the managerial leadership and the organizational readiness to innovate collaboratively. More specifically, the study examined the impact of transformational and transactional leadership behaviours (as measured by MLQ) on organizational readiness capabilities such as adaptability, information exchange, organizational learning culture and contracting to determine how managers influence and prepare their organizations for innovation through buyer-supplier relationships in the context of agribusiness such as Pakistan's dairy industry.Two theoretical lenses namely full range leadership and dynamic capabilities view were used to review the literature for proposing the conceptual model for the study. The conceptual model was tested through Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (known as path modelling). The path model was employed by using a Likert-scaled questionnaire through 372 cross sectional valid surveys. Face-to-face method was utilized to collect data for empirical testing of relationship, if any, exists between managerial leadership behaviours and organizational readiness capabilities thereby fostering collaborative innovation performance. Further, twenty nine key informant interviews were recorded to discuss the path modelling results of the study.The structural model showed a good fit with the quantitative data through reliability and validity.The analysis provided the strong support for all (fifteen) hypotheses. Both transformational and transactional behaviours were found to have positive impact on organizational readiness capabilities for generating innovation through buyer-supplier relationships. The passive/avoidant behaviours were also tested and found significantly negative for generating collaborative innovation performance thereby eliminated for the advance modelling.The study findings revealed managers should utilize both transformational and transactional leadership behaviours to prepare their organizations for the purpose of innovation through buyersupplier relationships in the enterprise model of Pakistan's dairy industry. Further, the study identified adaptability, information exchange, organizational learning culture and contracting as the underlying mechanisms through which leadership influences collaborative innovation performance.ii In the PLS-SEM study results, transactional behaviours exhibited greater significance in comparison with the transformational behaviours. While, transformational behaviours after dr...
