About Agrifood Management & Innovation Lab Ca' Foscari
The Agrifood Management & Innovation Lab is a reasearch center of Department of Management - Ca' Foscari University. It aims at consolidating research in these fields through empirical projects focused on firm-level and industry-level dynamics, focusing on the following areas:
Digitalization of agri-food firms’ strategies.
This line of research aims at establishing a systematic monitoring of the adoption of Digital technology among firms in the industry, both in their operations (e.g. Smart agriculture, Industry 4.0 and the like) and in their marketing and communication strategies (eg. social media marketing, digital presence, e-commerce…).
Consumer behavior in markets for food products
This line of research focuses on the determinants and strategic implications of emerging food and wine consumption models. The investigations will tackle changes in consumer behavior in domestic and international markets.
Business model evolution in the agri-food sector and in connected filieres
This line of research sheds light on the emerging shifts in agri-food firms’ strategies and on the reconfigurations of their business models. These transformations are responses to globalization, to the blurring of sectoral boundaries due to the diffusion of new technologies, to the heterogeneity of consumption models.
Entrepreneurship in the food and wine sectors
The line of research attempts at capturing the dynamics underlying the creation of novel firms in the agri-food sector and in connected filieres. Research activities will rely on analyses of venturing processes, of the interactions among entrepreneurs and surrounding innovation and entrepreneurial ecosystems, and of the social and institutional determinants of entrepreneurial activities.
The laboratory tackles these research themes through a balanced mix of basic and applied research, so to interact with the international academic community and with institutions, practitioners and experts populating the sector
