Abstract

This paper studies short food supply chains (SFSC) in China from a knowledge management perspective. Using Knowledge Based View and Resource orchestration theory, this paper aims to answer the following research question: How does knowledge management help explain the e-commerce enabled SFSC?. Using a case study of a Taobao villages in China, the knowledge management as well as the level of e-commerce maturity aspects are explored. We use a case study approach which combines semi-structured interviews with relevant managers, and secondary data. Both coding and template analysis are applied. A rich in-depth understanding of knowledge aspects (acquisition, possession and utilisation) and their contribution to improvement of the organisation’s performance is provided. This paper contributes to the discussion of e-commerce enabled SFSC, and hence providing interpretation and understanding of a local operation and evolution mechanism of the e-commerce enabled SFSC.
