This research aims to find and compare the key success factors governing innovation processes and performances of Dutch and Chinese vegetable seed companies. Established and highly successful in the Netherlands, this sector is just emerging in China and has a large potential market. Due to the international nature of the seed business, Dutch and Chinese companies compete in the same markets and need to improve or adapt their innovation. The Chinese vegetable seed industry is composed of thousands of small companies, characterized by low research investments in R&D and a high dependency on public research institutions. By contrast, the Dutch vegetable seed companies operate in a highly competitive environment, invest a large percentage of their turnover in R&D and their dependence on public research is limited to basic research. In the vegetable seed sector, these differing innovation networks in China and the Netherlands are complex and active at different levels. We have distinguished four types of vegetable seed companies in China and two in the Netherlands based on their interaction and collaboration with public research institutions or foreign seed companies. The Wageningen Innovation Assessment Tool will be used to conduct the analysis at the company level. A simulation method will be deployed to experiment with different scenarios and predict trends in the seed markets, with a focus on the expected developments in the shared Chinese seed market. The results will be used to develop decision-support or guideline models for seed company innovation. |
