Managing Complexity and Resource-Based Strategy Cases in the Implementation of Food Security Policy in Indonesia

Abstract

The main objective of this study is to explain managing complexity through the resource-based view as a strategy for the implementation of food security policy. Because the study so far still focused on the form, type, and its dimensions. The study uses a qualitative design and case study strategy to explain the implementation of food security policy. Techniques of data collection used were observation, depth-interviews, and documentation. Based on the matching patterns and time series analysis, managing the complexity of resource sharing in the implementation of food security policy is not effective. This happens because the resources owned by them are not integrated through the governance network. Besides, the governance network organization does not have a clear vision, so they also behave in a changing manner and controlling their resources. This is shown by each government agency controlling the funds for this program and the extension workers do not have the necessary expertise in the food diversification, rice, and animal food programs. Therefore, resource sharing strategies that have value, rareness, imperfect imitability, and organization can achieve successful implementation of this policy.
