Organizational innovation and ports logistiques: The case of Agadir port

Abstract

The aim of this work is to study the contribution of organizational innovation to the achievement of the logistical performance of the port of Agadir. The results of this research highlight three areas of innovative organizational practices: structure, IS, and Human Resources. The port of Agadir has an interest in adopting management practices. This fact is observed in our qualitative study where the significant impact of organizational innovation on the logistics performance of the port is positive. The mobilization of Network theory recognizes that the managerial approach is a strategic tool for the adoption of innovative organizational practices and not as a source of costs (Michel Callon and Bruno Latour (2016).
