Management Model for Dairy Production Based on a Business Ecosystem Concept

Abstract

This article proposes and evaluates a management model to boost the dairy production development from the perspective of a business ecosystem concept. This study proposes a management model based on two bibliographic systematic reviews of the dairy production. To analyze the resulting portfolio, the authors used a prior content analysis proposed by another researcher, which served as the basis for analysis and discussion of the elements for the model construction. Then, the model was tested with dairy experts. This research identified a total of 13 models which apply to dairy production and 2 models from the business ecosystem concept perspective. Consulting with 450 experts in the dairy sector, the authors empirically evaluated the model. The authors found that the results demonstrated an important validity indicator and model reliability in practice. Based on the finding, this article proposes a management model for dairy production from the business ecosystem concept.
