Publication Open Access Researching the entrepreneurial behaviour of new and existing ventures in European agriculture(Springer, 2017) Pindado Tapia, Emilio; Sánchez García, Mercedes; Gestión de Empresas; Enpresen KudeaketaThis study analyzes differences existing between new and established agri-entrepreneurs as well as differences in relation to their counterparts in non-agricultural ventures. This study uses the resource-based view and institutional economics as conceptual frameworks and focuses on the analysis of the resources and capabilities, entrepreneurial orientation (risk-taking, proactiveness and innovativeness) and legitimation affecting the entrepreneurial process. The literature points out that the specific characteristics of the sector (strong family links and institutional support) can condition the entrepreneurship process. Thus, hypotheses are developed to test these relationships. We use random effects models to test our hypotheses with the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) for 20 European countries. Results show that agri-entrepreneurs have weaker entrepreneurial capabilities than other sectors. However, new entrants into the agricultural sector are not less entrepreneurial in relation to other sectors. On the other hand, established agri-entrepreneurs are less proactive than other sectors. Results suggest that new entrants into agriculture are more entrepreneurially oriented than established ones. Our study contributes to the entrepreneurship literature by contextualizing the entrepreneurship process and providing valuable insights for policy-makers to enhance farmers’ entrepreneurial skills and entrepreneurial orientation.Publication Open Access Understanding agricultural entrepreneurship: its characteristics, drivers and context(2018) Pindado Tapia, Emilio; Sánchez García, Mercedes; Barrena Figueroa, Ramo; Gestión de Empresas; Enpresen KudeaketaIt is often stated that farmers need to become more entrepreneurial to compete in modern agriculture and that their entrepreneurship generates positive spillovers. Much of the literature on agricultural entrepreneurship, however, has been focused on established farmers and little is known about new entrants. Furthermore, there is a need for a more in-depth understanding of the contextual factors that shape entrepreneurship among farmers. Therefore, the objective of this thesis is to investigate the individual and contextual determinants of entrepreneurial behaviours among farmers, with a special focus on new entrants. In order to do so, agricultural entrepreneurship was studied in its multidimensional facets, including behaviour, opportunity identification, growth and innovation. A comprehensive approach was developed through five empirical studies addressing factors that influence these entrepreneurial dimensions. The first study describes the entrepreneurship of the sector, analyzing the differences existing between new and established agri-entrepreneurs in relation to their counterparts in non-agricultural ventures. Results show that agri-entrepreneurs have weaker entrepreneurial capabilities than other sectors. However, new entrants into the agricultural sector are not less entrepreneurial in relation to other sectors, and show greater entrepreneurialism than established farmers. The second study examines the drivers of entrepreneurialism among new entrants. Results suggest that new farmers with confidence in their entrepreneurial competencies and entrepreneurial experience tend to be more entrepreneurial. Likewise, farmers’ social ties with other entrepreneurs increase this behaviour. The third study focuses on growth-oriented new agricultural ventures and their context. Results reinforce the importance of the above capabilities and networks, as well as the capabilities to effectively offer new products. Institutional and industry contexts also influence them as they need social legitimation, and those operating in less agriculturally competitive countries have a greater probability of becoming growth-oriented. The fourth study focuses on entrepreneurial innovation providing evidence that different entrepreneurial innovations arise from different entrepreneurial assets and context configurations. Finally, the fifth study presents an innovative approach using Twitter data to analyse attitudes towards food innovations. We found a complex set of factors that may underlie positive attitudes such as cultural diversity and intensity of information flows. This thesis contributes to the entrepreneurship field by contextualizing the entrepreneurial process and providing valuable insights for policy-makers to enhance farmers’ entrepreneurship. Our findings highlight the importance of entrepreneurial competencies as well as professional networks, which have consequences for tailoring education and training programs. This research enhances our understanding of how entrepreneurship is enabled and constrained by several overlapping dimensions of context, which has implications for policies aimed at improving entrepreneurial ecosystems.Publication Open Access Growth-oriented new agricultural ventures: the role of entrepreneurial resources and capabilities under convergence forces(Oxford University Press, 2019) Pindado Tapia, Emilio; Sánchez García, Mercedes; Enpresen Kudeaketa; Institute on Innovation and Sustainable Development in Food Chain - ISFOOD; Gestión de EmpresasUsing a multilevel approach, this study examines how new entrants’ resources, capabilities and context influence growth-oriented new agricultural ventures. Results indicate that growth orientation is largely self-determined. The knowledge base of the new entrants, their social ties with entrepreneurs, together with the capabilities to identify and exploit opportunities, as well as those to effectively offer new products, trigger these growth-oriented ventures. Industry contexts also influence them, as those operating in less agriculturally competitive countries have a greater probability of becoming growth-oriented, suggesting convergence forces. Lastly, results reveal that competitiveness positively moderates the relationship between product innovation capabilities and growth orientation.Publication Open Access Factores de rentabilidad en la industria cárnica de Castilla y León(Ministerio de Agricultura, Alimentación y Medio Ambiente, 2015) Pindado Tapia, Emilio; Alarcón Lorenzo, Silverio; Gestión de Empresas; Enpresen KudeaketaSe realiza una caracterización de las empresas cárnicas de Castilla y León en el periodo 2009-2011 a partir de su información contable, con especial énfasis sobre la rentabilidad y los elementos internos y externos que se relacionan con ella. La aplicación de técnicas clúster conduce a 5 grupos en función de sus estrategias de diferenciación de producto (márgenes elevados) o de liderazgo en costes (rotaciones elevadas). Los tres primeros grupos incluyen empresas dedicadas a productos de calidad, con resultados diversos pues mientras algunas empresas obtienen altos márgenes en otras son negativos. Las empresas de elaboración de productos de calidad media, con márgenes y rotaciones intermedias, presentan mejores resultados y perspectivas. Por su parte el clúster correspondiente a procesado de carne, con los márgenes más pequeños y las rotaciones más elevadas, es el que se encuentra en peor situación, con resultados negativos en 2011. El modelo econométrico estimado muestra además cómo el tamaño y la ubicación son decisivos para explicar la rentabilidad de las cárnicas de Castilla y León. Una potenciación de ambos podría frenar el declive que se detecta en el periodo 2009-2011.
