It encompasses various forms such as product implementation, process improvement, marketing strategies, and organizational structures. Innovation creates value and ensures adaptability to an increasingly changing environment. Despite a multitude of investigations having been carried out to evaluate the correlation between innovation and performance, the majority of the scholarly attention has been directed toward technological innovation in developed nations. Regrettably, scant attention has been devoted to research endeavors investigating this relationship in emerging economies. This study aims to fill this gap by examining the impact of product, process, marketing, and organizational innovation on the financial and non-financial performances of firms operating in the labeled products subsector in Morocco, an area that remains unexplored. Using data from 70 firms, Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling was employed to test the hypotheses model. The findings revealed that while there was no significant effect of innovation type on the performance of labeled local products, it did lead to tendencies in this subsector. This study has meaningful implications for managers and policymakers on how to reinforce innovative strategies to generate future performance.KEYWORDS: Innovation typeperformancelabeled productPLS-SEMMorocco Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1.

The resulting information asymmetry increases transaction costs and affects the behavior of market stakeholders. In Benin, market gardeners’ participation is limited by geographical isolation and poor communication and transport infrastructures. Information and communication technologies (ICTs) now offer a fast and less costly means of accessing and disseminating information for more active market participation. The aim of this article is to measure the contribution of ICTs to market participation by testing whether they improve participation. Using a recursive bivariate probit model, our results indicate that market gardeners who use ICT to access information have a higher frequency of market participation than those who do not. Cell phones, radios, and televisions lead to a 35.3%, 25.6% and 8% higher probability of market participation respectively than those who don’t use them. These results suggest that a platform for disseminating knowledge via ICT could be set up to increase market participation.KEYWORDS: AgricultureICTmarket participationtransaction costslBenin Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).","PeriodicalId":46981,"journal":{"name":"Journal of African Business","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135784504","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
