Purpose While goods- and service-dominant logics are separated in most research as alternative and often incompatible paradigms, this paper aims to show how these logics can be and are combined in purchasing strategies in organizations. The paper also illustrates that multiple logics exist in addition to purely goods- or service-based logics. Design/methodology/approach The paper is based on empirical data on the purchasing of management consulting services, which represent an extreme context for understanding the combination and intersection of goods- and service-dominant logics. In particular, four in-depth case studies and interviews with 51 sellers and 30 buyers of management consulting services are used to develop a typology of purchasing approaches that combines goods- and service-dominant logics. Findings The study shows that goods- and service-dominant logics are combined in two main purchasing phases: supplier set selection and assignment selection. In both these phases, parallel and knowledge-based, embedded and experience-based approaches were identified as ways of combining goods- and service-dominant logics in the purchasing context. Research limitations/implications The research presented in the following adds to our existing understanding of possible purchasing strategies under multiple logics in buying organizations. Future research should explore the conditions under which different strategies are and should be applied in organizations. Practical implications This paper gives practitioners alternative approaches to choose from in their purchasing and sales of knowledge-intensive services, in addition to transactional and relational strategies. Originality/value The research adds to existing research on business and industrial marketing by identifying particular purchasing strategies on a continuum between goods- and service-dominant logics.

<p>Water and fertilizer scarcity amid the increasing need of rice production challenges today’s agriculture. Integrated crop management (ICM) is a combination of water, crop, and nutrient management that optimizes the synergistic interaction of these components aiming at improving resource use efficiency, i.e. high productivity of water, land, and labor. The objectives of the study were to investigate the effects of crop establishment method, organic matter amendment, NPK management, and water management on yield of lowland rice. Five series of experiments were conducted at Sukamandi and Kuningan Experimental Stations, West Java. The first experiment was focused on crop establishment method, i.e. plant spacing and number of seedlings per hill. The second, third, and fourth experiments were directed to study the effect of NPK and organic matter applications on rice yield. The fifth experiments was designed to evaluate the effect of water management on rice yield. Results showed that 20 cm x 20 cm plant spacing resulted in the highest grain yield for the new plant type rice varieties. Organic matter and P fertilizer application did not significantly affect grain yield, but the yield response to P fertilization tended to be stronger with organic matter amendment. Split P application did not significantly increase grain yield. The use of a scale 4 leaf color chart reading resulted in a considerable N fertilizer saving without compromising rice yield. Intermittent irrigation technique saved water up to 55% without affecting yields, resulting in a 2-3 times higher water productivity.</p>

Gender inequalities in development programs is problem that still going on. One of program from the government that relate to agricultural development policies and apply the principle of gender mainstreaming is Integrated Crop Management Field School Program (SL-PTT) in rural areas. The general purpose of this research is to analyze the level of gender equality in SL-PTT program, and analyze the relationship between the level of gender equality with success rate of SL-PTT program. This research using quantitative data with survey method using simple random sampling technique and analyzed by cross tabulation and Rank Spearman. This research supported by qualitative data with in-depth interviews. The results showed that there is a positive and significant correlation between the level of gender equality  and success rate of SL-PTT program.Keywords: gender analysis, gender equality, the success rate of the program================================================ABSTRAKProgram pembangunan yang belum memenuhi adanya kesetaraan gender menjadi permasalahan yang sampai saat ini berlangsung. Salah satu program dari pemerintah yang berkaitan dengan kebijakan pembangunan pertanian yang menerapkan prinsip pengarusutamaan gender adalah program Sekolah Lapang Pengelolaan Tanaman terpadu (SL-PTT) di perdesaan. Tujuan umum penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis tingkat kesetaraan gender program SL-PTT, dan menganalisis hubungan antara tingkat kesetaraan gender dengan tingkat keberhasilan program SL-PTT. Penelitian ini menggunakan data kuantitatif dengan metode survei dengan menggunakan teknik simple random sampling dianalisis menggunakan tabulasi silang dan Rank Spearman didukung dengan data kualitatif dengan wawancara mendalam. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa terdapat hubungan positif dan signifikan antara tingkat keterlibatan peserta SL-PTT  dengan tingkat keberhasilan program SL-PTT.Kata Kunci :  Analisis gender, kesetaran gender, keberhasilan program
