摘要:

AbstractThis article discusses two leading theoretical approaches to understanding how firms operate in markets and the functioning of their internal organizations. Game theory is a microanalytic approach that offers a useful framework for organizing thinking about the factors that influence firm strategic conduct vis‐a‐vis its competitors. Agency theory is mainly concerned with market mechanisms, such as an executive labor market or market for corporate control, that may discipline firm management in the absence of ownership control. Both approaches can yield useful hypotheses for empirical testing of factors affecting industry and firm performa

摘要:

AbstractA laboratory test was conducted in the San Francisco Bay area during July 1987 to study the impact of a price premium (25%) on sales of branded, low fat, and natural beef. The effect of a 25% price premium was a 38% reduction in trial purchases. While price resistance was significant, there is a consumer segment willing to pay a premium for a product low in fat and free of artificial ingredients.

摘要:

AbstractThe United States (US) has been successful in their demand that Japan remove its beef import quotas. Estimates of the quantity of US HQ beef likely to be exported to Japan under free trade conditions are highly dependent upon assumptions made concerning its competitive position relative to domestically produced beef. Most researchers have assumed that US HQ beef is comparable and perfectly substitutable to domestic Wagyu and/or first and second grade fed dairy beef which can lead to overestimation of the impacts of trade liberalization. This article presents new evidence that US fresh chilled Choice grade HQ beef may more closely equate with third grade dairy beef with respect to price.

摘要:

AbstractInformation about competitive wage and compensation packages is important to attracting and maintaining a productive work force. A 1986 survey of compensation practices of Ohio Agribusiness firms revealed that bonuses and profit‐sharing plans play a more important role in determining pay level than they did in 1982. Larger firms, measured by gross annual sales, still pay more than smaller firms; but trends by geographic location are not as distinct as they were in 1982. Nonmanagerial agribusiness employees still earn less than their metropolitan counterparts, but the gap is decreasin
