Time: 12-1.30pm
Place: Seminar Room 3, Management School

Speaker: Louise Postema - Operations Supply Chain Management (OSCM)
Title: Bringing agri-food processing companies into the smallholder climate adaptation space: a supply chain risk management perspective
Speaker: Clare Dallas - Strategy, International Business and Entrepreneurship (SIBE)
Title: Sustainability as a driver for growth: An illusion or reality for female entrepreneurs scaling up?
African smallholder farmers are among the most vulnerable to climate change, yet current government and development support efforts are inadequate and often unsustainable.
Louise Postema (OSCM) introduces her research that is focused on agri-food processing companies, their dependence on smallholder farmers, and the supply chain risks faced due to smallholder vulnerability, and how smallholder adaptation can become a risk management strategy, moving beyond corporate social responsibility to business case development.
Our second speaker, Clare Dallas (SIBE) explores how gender inequalities limit access to opportunities for female entrepreneurs, hindering their business success.
In an emerging field, ecosystem environments with a strategic sustainability focus are proposed to offer greater scaling up prospects for female entrepreneurs. Clare’s research explores how sustainability principles impact the scaling goals of female entrepreneurs in such ecosystem.
