Value chain research and development: The quest for impact

Jason Donovan (2023, [Artículo])

Motivation: For decades, governments, donors, and practitioners have promoted market-based development approaches (MBDA), most recently in the form of value chain development (VCD), to spur economic growth and reduce poverty. Changes in approaches have been shaped by funders, practitioners and researchers in ways that are incompletely appreciated. Purpose: We address the following questions: (1) how have researchers and practitioners shaped discussions on MBDA?; and (2) how has research stimulated practice, and how has practice informed research? We hypothesize that stronger exchange between researchers and practitioners increases the relevance and impact of value chain research and development. Methods and approach: We adopt Downs' (1972) concept of issue-attention cycles, which posits that attention to a particular issue follows a pattern where, first, excitement builds over potential solutions; followed by disenchantment as the inherent complexity, trade-offs, and resources required to solve it become apparent; and consequently attention moves on to a new issue. We review the literature on MBDA to see how far this framing applies. Findings: We identify five cycles of approaches to market-based development over the last 40 or more years: (1) non-traditional agricultural exports; (2) small and medium enterprise development; (3) value chains with a globalization perspective; (4) value chains with an agri-business perspective; and (5) value chain development. The shaping and sequencing of these cycles reflect researchers' tendency to analyse and criticize MBDA, while providing limited guidance on workable improvements; practitioners' reluctance to engage in critical reflection on their programmes; and an institutional and funding environment that encourages new approaches. Policy implications: Future MBDA will benefit from stronger engagement between researchers, practitioners, and funders. Before shifting attention to new concepts and approaches, achievements and failures in previous cycles need to be scrutinized. Evidence-based practice should extend for the length of the issue-attention cycle; preferably it should arrest the cycling of attention. Funders can help by requiring grantees to critically reflect on past action, by providing “safe spaces” for sharing such reflections, and by engaging in joint learning with practitioners and researchers.

The public-private confluence of interests between urban and real estate marketing. The case of the Mitikah Ciudad Viva project

ANA PAULA MONTES RUIZ (2021, [Artículo, Artículo])

The shift from a managerial to an entrepreneurial approach establishes a new form of urban governance based on a broader coalition of forces in which public-private partnerships have taken place. The Xoco-Mitikah urban conflict shows that the confluence of interests between the real estate and urban tourism industry embraces the common goal of designing an urban experience that makes the competitive advantages of Southern Mexico City profitable for both. Mitikah’s real estate marketing analysis showed that, through the promotion highlights of the South, the conflictive socio-territorial relationships that emerge along with the construction of real estate megaprojects are emotionally and affectively mediated.

La experiencia profesional de quienes asesoran los talleres proyectuales de Diseño de la Comunicación Gráfica, Industrial y Arquitectura

Yoshiaki Ando (2023, [Capítulo de libro])

Un factor determinante para la formación de las y los futuros diseñadores de la comunicación gráfica, industriales y arquitectos en los talleres proyectuales es la experiencia profesional que debe tener quien asesora principalmente los proyectos terminales. El perfil deseable de esta, puede ser de experiencia como empleado, emprendedor o ejercicio libre y es quien refuerza las bases para que el alumnado se enfrente al mercado laboral, debido a que conoce la práctica de las diferentes perspectivas de las y los profesionistas, así como las capacidades que deben aprender en su formación universitaria. Por lo tanto, en el presente y futuro, las disciplinas de la división de CyAD deberán reforzar este criterio dada la importancia de la inserción de los futuros profesionistas al mercado laboral.

A determining factor for the training of future graphic communication designers, industrial designers and architects in project workshops, is the professional experience that those who mainly advise terminal projects must have.The desirable profile of them can be experience as an employee, entrepreneur or professional free exercise, and is who can reinforce the bases so that the students can face the labor market, because they know the practice of the different perspectives of the professionals, as well as the skills they must learn in their university education. Therefore, in the present and in the future, the disciplines of the CyAD division must reinforce this criterion due to the importance of the insertion of future professionals in the labor market.
