The innovative ambidexterity lens classifies agripreneurs as having exploratory, exploitative, or ambidextrous postures.Exploratory agripreneurs exhibit fast and radical innovative behavior, exploitative agripreneurs slow and incremental innovative behavior, whereas ambidextrous agripreneurs are in between. This article proposes a typology of Filipino agripreneurs based on four dimensions of innovative ambidexterity. Data on one hundred and seventy-four (174) Filipino agripreneurs from administrative regions in the Philippines, were derived from the 2013 to 2015 Global Entrepreneurship Monitor Adult Population Surveys (GEM-APS) and analyzed using unsupervised K-means. Three clusters of Filipino agripreneurs emerged: (1) generally exploratory; (2) purely exploitative; and (3) mixed ambidextrous. Based on the results, many of the highly exploratory agripreneurs came from the Southern Mindanao and Caraga regions. A closer look at the formal, and informal institutional support in these regions reveals an enabling environment from government agencies in the aforementioned regions. Meanwhile, most of the mixed ambidextrous agripreneurs were from Ilocos, Occidental and Oriental Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon, and Palawan (MIMAROPA), Northern Mindanao, Southern Mindanao, Central Mindanao, and Caraga. One commonality among these regions was their all having international airports, which is important to facilitate the transport of products to Manila and international markets. As a recommendation, regional development policies must aim to develop agripreneurs with exploratory, as well as ambidextrous postures. An enabling formal and informal institutional environment (i.e., economic, technological, natural, and political-legal factors, as well as, networks) must be put in place at the regional level for these innovative postures to be developed and for innovations in agripreneurship to be accelerated in the country.

A diversidade de perspectivas teórico-metodológicas à disposição da análise geográfica na atualidade tem encorajado a disciplina a explorar novas temáticas de pesquisa, bem como colocar as questões e problemas teóricos mais convencionais sob nova ótica. Partindo de um diálogo entre os subcampos da Geografia Política e da Geografia Econômica, o presente artigo explora as potencialidades e os limites de um enfoque institucionalista para a pesquisa geográfica. Após revisão teórico-conceitual das contribuições das teorias institucionalistas em diferentes campos das ciências sociais, o artigo ressalta a pertinência do enfoque institucional para abordar duas problemáticas caras à análise do território: as políticas de ordenamento territorial e as políticas de desenvolvimento regional. Como conclusão principal, ressalta-se que a atenção dedicada pela perspectiva institucionalista aos contextos de (inter)ação e à heterogeneidade de possíveis arranjos e ambientes institucionais nas diferentes escalas geográficas permite colocar sob outra luz a questão da diversidade territorial e, assim, enriquecer as análises sobre o território.Palavras-chave: Instituições; Território; Ordenamento territorial; Desenvolvimento Regional. Institutional environment and territorial diversity: reflections for a research agendaAbstract: The plurality of methodological perspectives currently at hand to geographical analysis has encouraged the discipline to explore new research subjects, as well as to see longstanding theoretical issues and problems under a different angle. Proposing a dialogue between the sub-fields of Political and Economic Geography, this article explores the potential and limits of an institutionalist approach to geographical research. After a theoretical review of the key contributions of institutional theories in different areas of the social sciences, the article underscores the usefulness of the institutional perspective to tackle two relevant issues in territorial analysis: territorial governance policies and regional development policies. The paper’s key conclusion is that the attention given by the institutionalists to the contexts of (inter)action and to the heterogeneity of possible institutional arrangements and environments at different geographical scales puts in a different light the issue of territorial diversity, and improves territorial analysis.Keywords: Institutions; Territory; Territorial Governance; Regional Development. Ambiente institucional y diversidad territorial: consideraciones hacia una agenda de investigaciónResumen: La diversidad en las perspectivas teórico-metodológicas a disposición del análisis geográfico en la actualidad han alentado la disciplina para explorar nuevas temáticas de investigación, así como plantear las cuestiones y problemas teóricos mas convencionales bajo uma nueva óptica.

Regional development policies based on local potential triggers a shift in the economic structure of territories. Exogenous and endogenous factors determine potential of regional development and it is necessary to use different indicators and methods to its evaluation. For the paper purpose, it is required to define metropolitan and peripheral functions as well as urban areas in the form of geographic models, depicting their spatial distribution in the European Union (EU). Nowadays, regions are increasingly becoming the drivers of the economy. All regions possess development opportunities – however, use these options enough, and hence the competitiveness of regions must be efficient enough. The paper focuses on dividing the EU NUTS 2 regions based on geographic models of the European economy into efficient and inefficient ones and identifying an optimal benchmark for inefficient regions as a strategy for enhancing their economic structure to measure regional efforts and progress.
