ABSTRACT
This research use case studies as an approach to give evidence of the systemic relationsand the existent trade-offs between the institutional, competitive, technological andorganizational variables involved in the process of innovation in the food processing industry.
The unity of analysis consists of dairy processors that recently launched new products in the fluidmilk market. The results converged in showing the growing importance of non-price competitivestrategies and the concomitantly need to adequate a public policy to generate variety in thetechnological and organizational forms in order to foster industry competitiveness.

INTRODUCTION
Continuous innovation is an issue of vital importance for the strategic management offood processing companies that wish to access or stay in quality based markets. In particular, thealignment of product differentiation and market segmentation represent a essential competitive
strategy to face the consequences of the changing balance power in the food retailer-foodprocessing industry relations and the rapid evolution of consumer behavior with respect toagricultural and food products. This research illustrates how progress along a technologicaltrajectory and the emergence of new ones results from the interplay between institutional,competitive, technological and organizational variables.
1. OBJECTIVES
The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationships between some fundamentalinstitutional, competitive, technological and organizational factors in the innovation processcarried out by food processing firms as defined a priori in the specific literature. The basicquestions are: i) How the innovation process is deployed? ii) Why the firms innovate? iii) Whatare the main determinants to develop innovation in this sector?
2. METHODOLOGY
We use case studies as an approach to give evidence of the systemic relations and theexistent trade-offs between those factors. We choose a research design with one unity of analysis(food processors that recently launched new products and explored new markets in the fluid milkproduction chain) and multiple case studies (two firms in Brazil and two in France whichlaunched some of the principal product innovations in this market during the 90s, respectively:Premium UHT milk, sterilized milk and organic UHT milk, microfiltrated milk). Clearly, thestructure and strategies developed by suppliers, the dairy industry and the retail food distributionsystem are undergoing rapid change in those countries helping to show the robustness of thephenomenon across different and complex contexts. The contrast in those two sectoral innovationsystems1 acted as a revelatory tool. In particular, the fluid milk market is a hard test to productinnovation considering its ordinary character2 and the domination of retail products3 - finally, thesupremacy of one process technology (Ultra High Temperature - UHT processing) limits thetechnological strategies diversity adopted by the food processors4. Afterwards, we compareenterprises with the same structural profile in the two countries: multinational enterprises MNE(very large multi-product/brand firms) and small and medium enterprises - SME. Thisconfiguration is specially useful and robust to confront the theoretical basis, where each case isselected by the researcher to confirm convergent or contrasting evidence between the cases5, 6.Data from the selected enterprises were collected in semi-structured interviews (Table 1) withprincipal decision-makers. Complementary, we interviewed independent specialists that closelyfollowed the innovation process. The context of the study and the search for conflictinginformation was obtained in technical journals, sector reports and academic work. Finally, theempirical observations are compared with similar and conflicting theory about innovation in thefood industry in the hope to generalize them to theoretical propositions and not to populations oruniverses5. The implications between the specific theory and the phenomenon are explicit in thediscussion of the results.

4. DISCUSSION
The opportunity conditions in the two countries are very different: even though the marketsize (fluid milk) is larger in Brazil, the level of direct and indirect subsidies and marketsophistication/diversification are greater in France. Nevertheless, in both countries, the level ofconcentration is growing concomitantly in the dairy sector and retail - both seeking brandconsolidation and market segmentation by the offer of innovative products what turns vertical(specially in France) and horizontal (in France and Brazil) competition a fiercely process (asectors characteristics, as evidenced by many authors37, 44, 45, 51). The technological opportunitiesexplored in the two countries are somewhat diverse: i) in Brazil the product innovations in fluidmilk still are predominantly incremental, concerning packaging and product formulationvariations; ii) in France, the emergence of a new technological trajectory27 in fluid milk
processing (microfiltration) may represent an important technological path. In both situationspowerful equipment suppliers orchestrate the sectoral evolution.
In all of the case studies clients and consumers are considered in relation to the emergingmarkets consequence of new needs, life-styles and socio-economic trends. Nevertheless, theinnovation strategies seems to be predominantly related to competitive positioning, speciallypioneering in new products/technologies (as evidenced by other authors30 for the European foodprocessors) what paradoxically can limit formalized research on consumers behavior or trademarketing impact. Here again, market intelligence prevails over market orientation as observed inother innovative food processors case studies28. As a matter of fact, market selection andtechnological paths co-evolve in a complex (and rather incremental) way27 what indicate thecomplementary role of marketing studies in forecasting the direction of the innovative
opportunities.Although the external technological offer, the knowledge base mobilized in the SME to
innovate depends in a preponderantly tacit process based in the entrepreneur competency toconsider the fit between the market opportunity, the technology specificitys and the firmcapabilities to explore them and forecast the possible evolution of this complex system.Otherwise, as process technology (like MF) needs to be adapted to raw material particularitiesand the need to coordinate and integrate internal and external actors gain importance (asdemonstrated for other SME in the food industry18, 29) the idiosyncratic character of the learningprocess became evident. In the case of the MNE, even considering the mature character of thetechnologies and the higher degree of formalization, the processes of selection and coordinationof external partners (raw milk suppliers, equipment suppliers, research institutes) and integration
between multidepartements call for tacit capabilities and leadership.All the case studies illustrate the dynamics of a sector which depends extensively on
public and private organisms suppliers of technology embedded in equipment, suppliers ofmaterials or components and an applied research network4, 30, 31, 32, 33 . Besides, the switch betweenthe search for external complementarities and the mobilization of internal capacities illustratesthe interactive innovation model with feedbacks where the R&D activities are instrumental34 - asobserved for other food processing firms28, 30, 32.

The importance of the institutional structure is explicit in the French case studies.Considering the organic UHT milk production chain, the offer of subsidies and the consolidationof a normative structure were very important to incentive the conversion of many producers -amplifying the production base35 and to configure this production system26. The definition ofspecific norms applied to the organic production even if based in an obligation of results and
not of ways associated with the adoption of one, well recognized, label of quality permitted toassure the consumers and promote the rapid diffusion of the organic products25. Paradoxically,this institutional apparatus didnt favor the production segment since the over production of rawmilk lead to a lost in its value - even if the production of organic milk present many tacit andcomplex learning features. In this case, these effective appropriability mechanisms (to the rawmilk producers) where annulled as a competitive advantage due the lack of a geographicdelimitation in the production (like in the Appelation dOrigine Controle production systems).The standardization of the key elements in a quality food production process can diminish thepotentiality of the differentiation strategies36.
In a similar way, in the adoption of the MF technology by the SME, the existence of apublic research unit (whose director represents a technological gate keeper) favored theestablishment of key inter-relations between the specific actors concerned (equipment supplier,research institute, SME internal team and public organisms responsible to food control) and thetechnology adaptation (the importance of public institutions to the innovation process have beenillustrated in the French food processing SME18, 32).
In Brazil, the impacts due to the institutional structure in the innovation process were of amuch smaller dimension. The principal relation between the research institutions and the dairiesis related to product or process quality control8. Otherwise, the one-way profile in the relationsbetween equipment suppliers and fluid milk processors limits the development of innovativetechnologies and products4, 8. These features characterize a system of innovation excessivelydependable on international technological suppliers8 which raises the costs and limits theadequability of the technological options15, limits the technological variety4 and restraints co-evolution between the agents with lost in competitiveness specially to the SME8, 15.
One convergent feature in the cases is related to the low appropriability of thetechnologies developed and offered by equipment suppliers - specially, in the case of SME. Evenif the knowledge base associated with the technology adaptation present some elementsindicating a tacit and complex learning, the effectiveness of marketing complementary strategies(advertising, distribution channel selection, brand positioning) which can potentially enhancethe benefits in pioneering - are limited by the modest financial and technical resources of SME(as noted for other SME in the food processing sector37). Besides, the growing need to serve thebig retail restrain the opportunities to explore new markets since the bigger dairy processors with complete lines in each product category and a great capacity to promote them keep anasymmetric bargaining power and dominate the shelf spaces (as observed in the dairy sector inFrance11 and in the food processing segment in general44, 46, 48).
Nevertheless, the success of SME in first exploring market niches indicates a greaterflexibility and acuity in the perception of new consumer needs38. In this sense, it is critical to theSME the capacity to profit the first stages of the technological cycle, process dependable on itsagility in the mobilization of internal resources in order to detect emerging niche markets andselect and adapt new technologies32, 39. Indeed, the greater technological variety and the diversityof strategic choices, characteristic of the early stages in the life cycle of one sector as in the pre-paradigmatic stage of a new technology when a dominant design have not consolidated yet40
favors the SME41. Eventhough, it is a problematic situation to visualize surviving only in this

period of ferment: the potential for the optimization of organizational processes, to reacheconomies of scale and to permit reliable and stable relations with suppliers is limited since thefirst technological discontinuities rarely became an industry standard - a dominant design onlyconsolidate as an evolution of the original breakthrough42. This dynamic feature seems to beconfirmed in the evolution of the MF technology: the first technological configuration (1,4 m
MF membranes 15 days of shelf life at 4-6C) - adopted by the SME focused in the case study -is about to be menaced by a more developed system (0,5 m MF membranes associated withlight UHT - 4-6 months of shelf life at ambient temperature) the latter technological option ismore adapted to the larger dairy processors.
In a much more comfortable position, the MNE can establish entry barriers to smallerconcurrence - by selecting technologies that demands high financial commitments and benefitfrom scale economies - and surviving constraints since the performance evolution of thedominant design tend to be incremental and routinized - stimulating concentration27, 41. Thisdynamic is especially true considering that the development of close and technically creativesupplier relationships appear to be keys to successful, continuing dominance of the biggerenterprises and that the equipment suppliers who head the technological development may putenough weight behind a particular design to make it a standard42:616. Besides, following Suttonspropositions43, endogenous sunk costs can deter competition from SME too as growing marketingand P&D fixed costs require a higher level of sales to amortize them44, 45, 46. Indeed, productinnovation in the food industry will be better explored if the adoptants have the necessaryadvertising capacity (as in the case of Premium UHT milk), brand positioning (as in the case ofthe organic UHT milk) and technological leadership (as in the new MF variant) permitting thebigger firms to explore scope economies and shelf space in retail.
Even considering these asymmetries, there is convergence in all cases studies consideringthe critical effects in pioneering the development of new technologies and in the offer of newproducts (as emphasized by other authors44): it guaranteed shelf space in retailers stores, evenafter the launch of identical products with retailers brands. Complementary, the usual exigenciesof retail related to marketing support47 seemed to be softened (as was the case with sterilizedmilk). Besides, innovation was an important tool to generate brand loyalty and reputation andfunctioned as a partial substitute to advertisement since notoriety came along with novelty (as inthe case of the MF milk). The importance of increasing the frequency of new productslaunches19, 48, 49 and market segmentation46, 50 seem to be clear to all the enterprises focused in thecase studies. Nevertheless, the retail capacity to rapid respond with similar products and ownbrands was especially important in France19, 21, 51, 52.
5. CONCLUSIONS
The results converged in showing the growing importance of non-price competitivestrategies in a context of accruing concentration in the processing and distribution segments. Inthis context it is very important to deploy an adequate public policy to generate variety in thetechnological and organizational forms in order to foster industry competitiveness. In this sense itwould be critical to maintain an effective network capable to sustain a process of continuousinnovation in the SME of the food industry - as their survival will depend on the exploration ofever-shorter periods in the beginning of technological cycles. This aim seems to be critical inBrazil considering the fragility of the institutional structure to support innovation in this industry.The establishment of cooperation mechanisms between public research institutes, food processingmachinery industry, regularization and control organisms were more relevant to the innovative

French processing firms than the Brazilian ones. Nevertheless, in some situations thespecifications of food quality standards and production regulations had ambiguous effects: in oneway they limited opportunism in the chain and helped to communicate the differentialcharacteristics of the food products to consumers, in the other way they limited theappropriability of the innovations. The research illustrates how progress along a technological
trajectory and the emergence of new ones results from the interplay between institutional,competitive, technological and organizational variables.
