ABSTRACT
The covid-19 pandemic has had catastrophic effects on the global economy. The olive oil sector, whose producers were already undergoing their own crisis, has also clearly been affected by this situation. Despite Spain's world leadership in olive oil production, the added value that this product can generate has not been maximized. Falling prices and supply saturation are the problems that have been most highlighted and to which covid-19 has added. Faced with such a situation, the digitalization of the olive mill has gone from being a recommendation to an essential factor in avoiding the paralysis of its activity. In this context, the objective of this study is to detect the organizational factors that have been associated with a better adaptation of the organizations to the current complex situation. To this end we have made use of the fuzzy sets Qualitative Comparative Analysis technique which makes it possible to contrast different variables in order to explain a result, overcoming the limitations of more traditional techniques. The results obtained reveal that the cooperative form, the degree of innovation, the training of the top managers and the flexibility and size of the organization are factors that contribute to a better adaptation of the olive mill to the situation caused by covid-19.AlternateLa pandemia de la covid-19 ha tenido unos efectos catastróficos en la economía global. El sector del aceite de oliva también se ha visto claramente afectado por esta situación, cuyos productores ya arrastraban su propia crisis. Pese al liderazgo mundial de España en producción de aceite de oliva, no se ha terminado de maximizar el valor añadido que puede generar este producto. La caída de los precios y la saturación de la oferta son los problemas más señalados, a los que se ha sumado la covid-19. Ante tal situación, la digitalización de la almazara ha pasado de ser una recomendación a un factor imprescindible para evitar la paralización de su actividad. En este contexto, el objetivo de este trabajo consiste en detectar los factores organizacionales que se han asociado a una mejor adaptación de las organizaciones a la compleja situación actual. Para ello, se ha hecho uso de la técnica fuzzy sets Qualitative Comparative Analysis, que permite contrastar distintas variables para explicar un resultado, superando las limitaciones de técnicas más tradicionales. Los resultados obtenidos revelan que la forma cooperativa, el grado de innovación, la formación del máximo responsable, la flexibilidad y el tamaño de la organización son factores que contribuyen a una mejor adaptación de la almazara a la situación provocada por la covid-19.
