Abstract

Abstract Recent academic research presents a large volume of studies on the organic market from the perspective of consumers’ motivation and purchasing preferences. However, these studies adopt a competitive or cooperative approach, but overlook the institutional complexity of emerging markets. This study aims to investigate the organic food production chain of emerging countries from the perspective of coopetition, taking into account the influence of formal institution agents. We focused our analysis on the chain of the organic food products, with the organic ice-cream producer as the key node of the chain. It is a single-case study conducted through in loco interviews with participants in the organic food products’ chain, along with secondary data. The results show the influence of formal institution agents and non-financial incentives as primary drivers of entrepreneurial strategic decisions. We contributed to the coopetition literature by demonstrating the influence of formal institution agents on value creation and value capture in the organic chain.

正式机构代理人对有机食品行业合作的影响

摘要最近的学术研究从消费者的动机和购买偏好的角度对有机市场进行了大量的研究。然而，这些研究采用了竞争或合作的方法，但忽略了新兴市场的制度复杂性。本研究旨在从合作竞争的角度考察新兴国家的有机食品生产链，同时考虑到正式机构代理人的影响。我们将分析重点放在有机食品的链上，有机冰淇淋生产商是链上的关键节点。这是一个单一的案例研究，通过对有机食品链参与者的现场采访以及二级数据进行。研究结果表明，正规机构代理人和非金融激励是创业战略决策的主要驱动因素。我们通过展示正式机构代理人对有机链中价值创造和价值捕获的影响，为合作竞争文献做出了贡献。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Agricultural & Food Industrial Organization (JAFIO) is a unique forum for empirical and theoretical research in industrial organization with a special focus on agricultural and food industries worldwide. As concentration, industrialization, and globalization continue to reshape horizontal and vertical relationships within the food supply chain, agricultural economists are revising both their views of traditional markets as well as their tools of analysis. At the core of this revision are strategic interactions between principals and agents, strategic interdependence between rival firms, and strategic trade policy between competing nations, all in a setting plagued by incomplete and/or imperfect information structures. Add to that biotechnology, electronic commerce, as well as the shift in focus from raw agricultural commodities to branded products, and the conclusion is that a "new" agricultural economics is needed for an increasingly complex "new" agriculture.
