Abstract:
The paper deals with an assessment of cost efficiency of farms in 2006–2009 based on a sample of farms classified according to the cost/revenue ratio. The analysis of the sample of 101 farms revealed that the return to scale effect is not significant compared to other effects so that the real increase of the production volume may not determine the dynamic of the profit. The massive shift of farms with increasing cost efficiency to the category of the decreased cost efficiency reflects a significant influence of external conditions to the profit/loss of farms. A positive development of prices in 2007 has influenced an increased cost efficiency of the majority of sample farms. In 2008, the increased prices of agricultural inputs intensively influenced the development of the revenue function. The increase of variable costs influenced by increased input prices has wasted reserves resulted from the production use of fixed costs and the return to scale and caused a significant decrease of profit.

Abstract:The organization of information production is undergoing a deep transformation. Alongside corporations, which have been for long time the predominant institutions of information production, new organizational forms have emerged, e.g. free software communities, open-content on-line wikis, and collective blogs. The paper investigates the factors that favoured the emergence of these alternative systems, called peer production. Different from the previous literature, the paper considers technology as an endogenous variable in the process of organizational design. On this basis, the paper argues that the diffusion of digital technology is a necessary but not sufficient condition to explain the emergence of peer production. A similarly important role has been played by the set of ethics that motivated the early adherents to the free software movement. Such an ethics indeed operated as a ‘cultural subsidy’ that helped to overcome the complementarities existing among distinct institutional domains, and let a new organizational species to emerge.

Abstract:
One of the most enduring issues in research on business strategy and organization is how firms can survive and achieve prosperity in the long run. A recurring answer to it is that firms must be ambidextrous: efficient in their conduct of today’s business while simultaneously being able to adapt to changes in the environment in the future. The recipe recommended to firms which strive for ambidexterity has often been to conduct two forms of innovation at the same time. Incremental innovations are smaller improvements in existing operations and must be pursued to enhance its efficiency. Radical innovations are concepts which are so new that they are incompatible with the existing organization and needed to stay ahead of and adapt to paradigm shifts in the technology and market. However, combining the pursuit of these innovations has proved difficult. The literature therefore suggests that they be carried out in separate organizational units, but the problem is then how firms can reap the synergies of them though integration. This thesis focuses on technological process innovation in industrial production systems. With this as a scope, it contributes to the understanding of ambidexterity in firms by exploring a new form of process innovation, technological step-change, which theoretically is positioned between incremental and radical innovation. Technological step-change is on one hand distinguished from radical innovation as it does not represent any shifts, but rather is related to the development of the existing production systems. On the other, it is distinguished from incremental innovation as it involves the introduction of new technological artifacts and larger, architectural changes in the system, and as such requires assistance from personnel with advanced technological knowledge. Based on a case study, a conclusion is that incremental innovations and step-changes reinforce each other and that the technology in step-changes has its origin in the radical innovation activities. Therefore, while the separated pursuits of incremental and radical innovations alone are largely independent of each other, technological step-changes form a link between the two and enable ambidexterity. It is furthermore found that step-changes are facilitated by the separation of incremental and radical innovation in distinct organizational units on one hand and integration with integrative mechanisms on the other.

Full text
Abstract:
80% of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) that are emitted every year to the atmosphere come from biogenic sources (BVOCs), where many different families are included, such as isoprenoids. The production and emission of those compounds is influenced by environmental variables such as light and temperature. Those environmental variables will be affected by global change which has been predicted for the next decades. The main objective of this thesis was to study the effect of global change, and specifically climate change, global warming and eutrophication, on isoprenoid, mono and sesquiterpene contents and emission rates. Moreover, we tested those effects in different families and genotypes, due to the intra and interespecific variability. In order to answer those questions we carried out different experiments, from seminatural conditions to more controlled conditions (lab), because the more control of the environmental sampling parameters the better conditions to study isolated factors. Identification and quantification of both contents and emission was carried out using gas chromatography with mass spectrometry. The main conclusions of the present thesis are: warming and drought increase both terpene content and emission independently of the specie (storing and non-storing species). However, different species responded differently to eutrophication: these responses depended on the species and on the sampling time. Finally, intra and interspecific differences where shown: different genotypes and different species behaved differently in both storing and non-storing species.
Un 80% dels Compostos Orgànics Volaltils (COVs) que s’emeten anualment a l’atmosfera provenen de fonts biogèniques (COVBs), entre els que destaquen diferents famílies com per exemple els isoprenoids. La producció i emissió d’aquests compostos està influenciada per variables ambientals com la llum i la temperatura. Aquestes variables ambientals es veuran afectades pel canvi global que s’ha predit per les properes dècades. L’objectiu de la present tesi va estar estudiar l’efecte del canvi global i específicament canvi climàtic, escalfament i eutrofització, sobre el continguts i les emissions de les famílies isoprenoids, mono i sesquiterpens. A més, varem testar aquests efectes en diferents famílies i genotips, donades les variacions intra i interespecífiques. Per aconseguir resoldre aquestes preguntes varem realitzar diferents experiments, des de condicions seminaturals fins a condicions més controlades (de laboratori), on un major control de les condicions ambientals de mostreig permet estudiar efectes de forma aïllada. La identificació i quantificació dels compostons, tant continguts com emesos, es va fer mitjançant cromatografia de gasos i espectrometria de masses. Les principals conclusions d’aquesta tesis són: l’escalfament i la sequera van incrementar tant el contingut com les emissions de terpens en espècies acumuladores i en espècies no acumuladores. No obstant, les respostes de les diferents espècies a l’eutrofització van ser diverses, depenent de l’espècie i de les condicions ambientals del moment de mostreig. Finalment, es van constatar les diferències intra i interespecífiques: espècies diferents i genotips diferents es van comportar de diferent manera, tant en espècies acumuladores com en espècies no acumuladores.

Abstract:
Since the format Got Talent achieved great success in China, we can see the prevalence of format adoption and the television industry’s reliance on western expertise. Television formats have provided Chinese television professionals not only with new creative inputs into indigenous production practices but also with license to experiment with ideas that may not fit in with the legacy of the national culture or the brand of the channel or network. This study explores the growing trend toward television format adoption and localization as an industry development strategy in China, and provides rich data through qualitative methods such as field observation and semi-­‐structured interviews. The results of the various analyses in the thesis demonstrate, in different ways, how Chinese professionals perceive the development of their practices and that of the whole television industry following the adoption and localization of formats. Furthermore, the analyses also indicate how China’s political and economic contexts impact on the ways in which television formats are localized.

Abstract:
The analysis of agrarian change presented in this thesis integrates state practices and wider politics to the study of rural differentiation, using a case study of Zimbabwe. Most studies of agrarian change in the 21st century have tried to come to grips with rural differentiation in Africa, its causes and effects, by using particular models such as those of neo-classical economics, livelihood approaches, Marxist analysis of accumulation and social and cultural networks, or a combination of variables from the four approaches. However, these theoretical approaches fail to comprehensively integrate the role of the state and politics into the analysis of rural differentiation. My study explains differentiation by exploring beneficiary selection, production and accumulation processes on Zimbabwe’s Fast Track land reform resettlement schemes. Fast Track involved a series of partisan and violent invasions of largely white owned commercial farms from 2000, which constituted the largest land redistribution in post-colonial Africa. Scholars exploring politics and the Zimbabwean state have not applied their insights to an analysis of field based data on production and accumulation on Zimbabwe’s resettlement farms. I argue that the restructuring of the state and politics as an instrument of violence and as a site of accumulation dominated by patronage-both justified through ideology-was central to agrarian change after 2000. I find the three concepts of violence, patronage and ideology more useful in capturing the nuances and modalities of empirical realities on resettlement schemes than neo-patrimonial theories that provide generalised accounts of the African state. Though still acknowledging the role of other differentiating factors such as social networks, hard work by resettled farmers and economic factors, it is through the integration of political processes into the analysis of agrarian change that, I argue, one can understand better the dynamics shaping rural differentiation in post-2000 Zimbabwe.

Abstract:
The size of the South African tobacco industry has been shrinking over the last 20 years. Tobacco production has decreased by 54% between 1990 and 2014. Along with the decline in the area of tobacco planted, the number of primary producers and tobacco processors have dwindled. South Africa serves as a case study to support the working committee for economically sustainable alternatives to tobacco growing (COP 6) in understanding the factors that impact producers exit decisions and the agricultural commodities that producers introduce once they leave tobacco production. The Framework Convention on Tobacco Control seeks to find practical and cost effective control measures to reduce both the demand and supply of tobacco products. To achieve these ambitions, the working group for economically sustainable alternatives to tobacco growing was established. This working group seeks to understand all the elements of tobacco growing and the elements that drive the demand of alternative crops. The findings of this study supports the working group for economically sustainable alternatives to tobacco growing by providing insights on the factors that drive production and exit decisions. Additionally, it also identifies alternative crops that former tobacco producers have introduced. At the time of this study no literature detailed the effects of the restructuring of the South African tobacco industry. This study details the impact that the restructuring of the South African tobacco industry had on tobacco producers and their production decision. Globally no research existed on the factors that drive tobacco producers exit decisions and the enterprises that they have switched to after they left tobacco production. This study investigates which agricultural commodities former producers have changed to and what impacted their decision to make this change. Although profitability was cited as the primary reason to leave tobacco production and to change to the production of another crop; only 18% of producers were making a loss with tobacco at the time of their exit from tobacco production. The study found that the profit margin realised on tobacco had declined when compared to other crops. Further investigation found that the profitability of tobacco was influenced by a number of variables, in particular low producer prices, the rising cost of inputs and the availability of alternative crops. Another factor that impacted producers tobacco production decision was co-operative politics this had a major impact on producers decision to leave tobacco production; not only had a number of former producers declined to participate in the survey because of co-operative politics but a number of current producers had left tobacco production during the restructuring of the South African tobacco industry. The events during the restructuring of the South African tobacco industry (the merger of three co-operatives and the closure of two co-operative owned processing facilities) created instability in the industry. While investigating the alternative crops that producers had introduced, once they had left tobacco production or had diversified to while producing tobacco, it was found that there were regional differences in the agricultural commodities that were introduced and that there is no clear trend of the commodities that producers have introduced. Along with profitability other factors impacting producers' decisions to change to the production of an alternative agricultural commodity is detailed in the study.

Full text
Abstract:
Over the last three decades the political economy debate abandoned its focus on manufacturing as the main engine of the technological dynamism and the source of the wealth of nations. However recent years have witnessed a renewed interest in manufacturing production. This has led analysts to announce and welcome a worldwide 'manufacturing renaissance' emerging in different contexts with multiple focuses. The thesis provides new analytical and empirical lenses for disentangling the dynamics of manufacturing development. We do this by showing how learning processes are the fundamental category responsible for production capabilities dynamics which in turn trigger structural change. Essay 1 'The Manufacturing Renaissance: Transforming Industrial Systems and the Wealth of Nations' presents a novel synthesis of two strands of economic research, Structural Economic Dynamics and the Economics of Capabilities. Within this framework we integrate structural change and production capabilities dynamics. The following Essays of this dissertation apply and extend this theoretical synthesis by focusing firstly on learning in production structures and cumulative (non-linear) structural change dynamics (Essays 2 and 3 respectively); secondly, in developing new diagnostics for industrial policies design (Essay 4); finally, in investigating industrial policies for manufacturing development (Essay 5). Essay 2 'Structural Learning: Embedding discoveries and the dynamics of production' extends the current framework by rembedding learning dynamics from which production capabilities are generated in the production structure itself. Essay 3 'Manufacturing Agrarian Change. Agricultural production, intermediate institutions and Intersectoral commons: Lessons from Latin America' than applies the concept of structural learning developed in Essay 2 to the intersectoral interdependencies on the interface of agriculture and manufacturing. Moreover, we show how in the context of Chile and Brazil intersectoral learning from which intersectoral commons derive was facilitated by the development of intermediate institutions. Essay 4 'Production Capability Indicators. Mapping countries' structural trajectories and the assessment of industrial skills in LDCs: The case of Tanzania' addresses the problem of capturing these learning dynamics through production capabilities indicators at the national level. Not only do we propose a new theoretically-sensitive methodology for quantifying learning dynamics but also we apply this to industrial skills assessment in Tanzania. Finally, Essay 5 'Industrial Policy for Manufacturing Development. Structural dynamics and institutional changes in a dual economy: A case of dependent industrialisation in the Italian Mezzogiorno' focuses on the development of industrial policies, the latter understood as mechanisms to trigger learning dynamics at the sectoral and intersectoral level. The Italian 'Mezzogiorno' case is presented to illustrate these dynamics in a context of dependent industrialisation.

Lööf, Kajsa. "Strategy for automation and layout change in production systems." Thesis, KTH, Industriell produktion, 2010. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:kth:diva-61076.

Full text
Abstract:
The main objective of this thesis is to identify changes in Level of Automation (LoA) and layout which are correlated. The thesis is aiming to contribute in the progressing research in automation with a practical aspect which is important to manufacturers. A case study was conducted at Parker Hannifin since research material from 2007 was available of this production system. Data from two different points in time is a necessity to observe any correlation in LoAand layout changes. The thesis is also meant to document the production system at Parker Hannifin. The research questions which will be attempted to answer are the two following:  How does an increase of LoA affect the layout?  Is there a specific point in the LoA where the layout changes dramatically?  What improvements can be made to secure quality in Parker Hannifin’s production system? The DYNAMO methodology has been developed to measure and obtain an accurate picture of information flow and automation in production systems. The DYNAMO methodology uses a reference scale to measure LoA. This scale is divided into two parts, mechanical and cognitive, as both areas are considered when automating a production system. It proved to be an effective and objective technique to measure ParkerHannifin’s production system and data could be analyzed and compared to the previous study from 2007 ofthe same production system. The result from the case study at Parker Hannifin showed that the total LoA had increased and the layouthad changed, however the two alterations were not correlated. The Parker Hannifin case was further analyzed and one other experience from Sandvik was illustrated to draw the conclusion that there is a specific point in the LoA where the layout changes dramatically. (1) A mechanical LoA alteration betweenvalue 1 and 4 does not in itself involve a layout change. (2) Alterations in which LoA increases to 5, 6 or 7will most likely be followed by a layout change. Exactly how the increase of LoA affects the layout is hard to tell. Layout changes due to LoA are an issue of factory space and material flow. Since layouts should be compatible with current production systems, LoAchanges which infer in the production system might need a different space to be situated in, be it more space, less space or just a diverse positioning. Since cognitive LoA changes more frequently require equipment small in size, they are assumed to seldom cause layout changes. Recommendations that have been specifically stated to improve the production system at Parker Hannifin:  Make DFA a standard procedure  Workshop for designers and assemblers to collaborate  Designers join assembly line for half a day for assembly system understanding Color coding of slides to eliminate mistakes  Place instructions visibly for assemblers to easily access at all times to eliminate mistakes Using DFA at the developing stage for all valves is particularly important to minimize the costs and quality issues and ensure a smoother assembly.

Abstract:

Maize is one of the crops that is grown by most farmers in Zambia being the staple food for the majority of Zambians. However, despite the crop being so important, its production is dependent on climatic conditions. This means that any change in climate can affect the production either negatively or positively. This research therefore, focused on determining how the change in temperature and rainfall affect maize production on the Copper belt, Eastern, Lusaka and Southern provinces of Zambia and investigate the main adaptation measures implemented by both the government and non-governmental sectors. Also, assess through the review of National Agricultural Policy and action plans, how the government has documented issues of climate change. In order to obtain the needed data, interviews were conducted with different officials from both the government and non-governmental sectors. However, from the estimate of the impact of temperature and rainfall on maize production, the results did not show with any significance that either temperature or rainfall has effect on maize production. In fact, it was found that quantifying the effects of climate change on maize production is not easy due to difficulties in quantifying other factors that may also have large impact on maize production. It was therefore, not possible to conclude whether or to what extent climate change has effects on maize production. However from the interviews conducted, it was found that both the government and non-governmental sectors have introduced different activities in their programmes to ensure that farmers are food secure, though the ministry of agriculture has no policy document on how to handle the problem of climate change to address different issues of the sector. In fact, most offices in the ministry do not have much documented information on climate change which could also be seen from the review of National Agricultural Policy and action plans where climate change issue has not been emphasized. Though both the Government and non-governmental sectors have implemented some adaptation measures, it cannot easily be concluded whether the implemented measures are adequate or not due to the fact that we are not sure of the expected effects in different parts of the country. Nevertheless, to enhance food security with or without adverse effects of climate change on maize production, it was recommended that members of staff at all levels under MACO should be trained in the area of climate change for them to have a wider understanding of the issue and work responsively and that much research should be done to open up the mind of the people and help policy makers make effective plans.

Msowoya, Kondwani. "Climate Change Impacts on Rainfed Corn Production in Malawi." Master's thesis, University of Central Florida, 2013. http://digital.library.ucf.edu/cdm/ref/collection/ETD/id/5992.

Full text
Abstract:
Agriculture is the mainstay of the economy in Malawi and accounts for 40% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and 90% of the export revenues. Corn (maize) is the major cereal crop grown as staple food under rainfed conditions, covers over 92% of the total agricultural area, and contributes 54% of the caloric intake. Corn production is the principle occupation and major source of income for over 85% of the total population in Malawi. Issues of hunger and food insecurity for the entire nation are associated with corn scarcity and low production. Global warming is expected to cause climate change in Malawi, including changes in temperature and precipitation amounts and patterns. These climate changes are expected to affect corn production in Malawi. This study evaluates the impacts of climate change on rainfed corn production in Malawi. Lilongwe District, with about 1,045 square miles of agriculture area, has been selected as a representative area. First, outputs of 15 General Circulation Models (GCMs) under different emission scenarios are statistically downscaled. For this purpose, a weather generator (LARS-WG) is calibrated and validated for the study area and daily precipitation as well as minimum and maximum temperature are projected for 15 GCMs for three time horizons of 2020s, 2050s and 2090s. Probability assessment of bounded range with known distributions is used to deal with the uncertainties of GCMs' outputs. These GCMs outputs are weighted by considering the ability of each model to simulate historical records. AquaCrop, a new model developed by FAO that simulates the crop yield response to water deficit conditions, is employed to assess potential rainfed corn production in the study area with and without climate change. Study results indicate an average temperature increase of 0.52 to 0.94oC, 1.26 to 2.20oC and 1.78 to 3.58oC in the near-term (2020s), mid-term (2050s) and long-term (2090s) future, respectively. The expected changes in precipitation during these periods are -17 to 11%, -26 to 0%, and -29 to -3%. Corn yields are expected to change by -8.11 to 0.53%, -7.25 to -14.33%, and -13.19 to -31.86%, during the same time periods. The study concludes with suggestion of some adaptation strategies that the Government of Malawi could consider to improve national food security under climate change.
