  • Social Desirability, Opportunism and Actual Support for Farmers’ Market Organisations in Ethiopia

    Open AccessSteffen Eriksen, Clemens Lutz et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Development Studies2018

    One of the striking issues in the literature on farmers’ market organisations (FMOs) is that farmers generally report quite positive opinions regarding the services of their FMO, while, at the same time, actual sales reveal a much more reserved attitude. We argue that farmers may feel social and/or opportunistic pressure to express positive opinions concerning the FMO, to donors and policy-makers, which are not necessarily in line with their acti…

  • African farmers’ market organizations and global value chains

    Open AccessClemens Lutz, Getaw TadesseARTICLEReview of Social Economy2017Citada por: 1Referências: 34

    This conceptual paper discusses the challenges smallholder producer cooperatives in developing countries face while trying to access agricultural global value chains. We assess the problem of competitiveness related to lack of commitment and improper selection. Prioritization of open membership over selection is generally taken for granted in the policy debate on farmers’ market organizations (FMOs). We argue that open membership may work in comm…

  • The Impact of Trade Credit on Customer Switching Behaviour

    Niels Hermes, Ernest Kihanga et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Development Studies2012

    We use primary survey data to analyse the relationship between trade credit and customer switching in the context of trade transactions between wholesalers and retailers in the Tanzanian rice market. Results reveal a negative relation of trade credit and customer switching, that is, trade credit acts as a switching barrier; retailers are reluctant to move to another supplier if they depend on trade credit as a source of external finance. This int…

  • Opportunities for Smallholders from Developing Countries in Global Value Chains

    Clemens LutzARTICLEReview of Social Economy2012Citada por: 3Referências: 31

    The current policy debate on opportunities for African smallholders in agricultural markets focuses on the need for proper institutions at the market level or governance in the global value chain (GVC). Both discussions neglect insights from strategic management. We argue that successful inclusion of smallholders in GVCs requires the deployment of strategic resources and capabilities in the farming systems. The consequence of this argument is tha…

  • Perceptions regarding strategic and structural entry barriers

    Open AccessClemens Lutz, Clemens H M Lutz et al.ARTICLESmall Business Economics2010

    This article uses factor analysis to identify the underlying dimensions of strategic and structural entry barriers. We find that, in the perception of firms, both types of barriers are important and that the effectiveness of strategic barriers depends on attributes of the market structure. Based on the seven generic factors, a conjoint analysis is carried out to identify the most important factors perceived by firms. The conjoint analysis shows t…
