Resumo

Os processos de criação, configuração e apropriação do valor sustentam a dinâmica dos modelos de negócio. Todavia, essa visão dinâmica é tema recente e pouco explorado na literatura, principalmente do ponto de vista da aplicação em contextos específicos, como é o caso dos negócios rurais. Inseridos em uma cadeia de valor agrícola dinâmica, esses negócios apresentam desafios relevantes tanto do ponto de vista da criação do valor, por meio do reconhecimento de oportunidades, quanto da configuração do valor, em termos da articulação destas oportunidades a partir do uso de recursos naturais e organização da governança das atividades, bem como da apropriação do valor, sobretudo a natureza de commodity, que dificulta a definição de critérios autônomos de precificação. O objetivo deste artigo é identificar o que tem sido discutido na literatura acadêmica sobre modelos de negócio em propriedades rurais sob a ótica do ciclo do valor. Apresenta-se como resultado um framework analítico que contempla os seguintes aspectos por dimensão: i) Criação do Valor: diferenciação, diversificação, inovação e sustentabilidade; ii) Configuração do Valor: organização da cadeia produtiva e a estrutura de governança (limites organizacionais internos e externos); iii) Apropriação do valor: dimensão econômica (custo/benefício financeiros), estratégico (competitividade), conhecimento (inovação) e pessoal (cultura e identidade).

Palavras-chave

Abstract

The processes of value creation, configuration, and appropriation underpin the dynamics of business models. However, this dynamic perspective is a recent topic and little explored in the literature, particularly from the perspective of its application in specific contexts, such as rural businesses. Inserted in a dynamic agricultural value chain, these businesses present significant challenges both from the perspective of value creation, through opportunity recognition, and value configuration, in terms of articulating these opportunities through the use of natural resources and the organization of activity governance. Furthermore, value appropriation, particularly due to the commodity nature of the business model, which hinders the definition of autonomous pricing criteria. The objective of this article is to identify what has been discussed in the academic literature on business models for rural properties from the perspective of the value cycle. The result is an analytical framework that encompasses the following aspects by dimension: i) Value Creation: differentiation, diversification, innovation, and sustainability; ii) Value Configuration: organization of the production chain and the governance structure (internal and external organizational boundaries); iii) Appropriation of value: economic dimension (financial cost/benefit), strategic (competitiveness), knowledge (innovation) and personal (culture and identity).
