A knowledge exchange and diffusion of innovation (KEDI) model for primary production

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to proffer an alternative conceptualization of food integrity and a market-based food integrity intelligence system. Design/methodology/approach Food fraud is interpreted as a symptom of asymmetric knowledge. Consumer collaboration for knowledge exchange and diffusion of innovation (KEDI) safeguards food markets. The concept of communicative action is applied to conceptualize and analyze key elements for designing a collaborative food integrity intelligence system. Findings The model of market-based KEDI consists of three dimensions: intelligence flows, organization memory, and social sensitivities. Decentralized control is crucial to effect system innovation. Originality/value The paper integrates managerial, marketing, and economic approaches and develops a model for managing food integrity intelligence.

The use of the unified identification system (UIDS) can undoubtedly result in increased effectiveness and efficiency, improvement in the quality of life, reduction of crime, enhanced transparency, and good government. This study examined the dimensions of environmental factors in explaining the adoption of a unified identification system (UIDS). Dynamic capability theory (DCT), technology- organisation-environment (TOE) framework, and diffusion of innovation (DOI) were used as grounding theories. The study opted for a concurrent triangulation research design. The results revealed that government support, competitive pressure, and perceived trust are significant and support the adoption of a unified identification system. However, user readiness was insignificant in explaining the use of UIDS in the Ugandan context. This study recommends that policymakers focus on government support as it is a symbol of leadership in IS innovation adoption.
