TRANSFORMING GOVERNMENT:RURAL DEVELOPMENT AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES: A COLLABORATIVE FRAMEWORK FOR POLICY-MAKING
- Share to:
Purpose – The paper aims to define a model for rural development, able to stimulate collaborations between
actors involved in the agrifood chain and based on digital technologies as enabling factors for such collaborations.
Design/methodology/approach – An exploratory research, based on a qualitative approach, is
conducted, using both constructivist grounded theory and Gioia methodology. Data were collected through
semi-structured interviews and roundtables administered to Italian key players.
Findings – The authors identify five actions (definition of territorial identity, involvement of internal and
external supply chain actors, definition of quality standards, cooperation intra and infra supply chains,
communication through technology) for collaboration in the development of rural areas that policymakers should
encourage and actors in the supply chains must implement. The paper also entails both theoretical and practical
implications. From the theoretical point of view, this study contributes to the literature on the relationship
between agrifood, local development and the role of technologies. From the managerial point of view, this paper
provides insights for policymakers to define strategies and actions aimed at developing collaborations between
actors involved in the agrifood chain and leveraging digital technologies to support rural development.
Originality/value – The paper proposes a framework for the collaboration of the actors of the agrifood
sector and related food tourism that could be the basis for the development of a digital platform able to
connect all the subjects involved in rural development.
