Food safety and hygiene is of critical importance to us all, yet,
as periodic food crises in various countries each year show, we are
all dependent on others in business and public regulation to ensure
that the food we consume in the retailing and hospitality sectors
is safe. Bridget Hutter considers the understandings of risk and
regulation held by those in business and considers the compliance
pressures on managers and owners, and how these relate to
understandings of risk and uncertainty. Using data from an in-depth
case study of the food retail and catering sectors in the UK, the
research investigates how business risk management practices are
influenced by external pressures such as state regulation,
consumers, insurance and the media and by pressures within
business. The argument of the book is that food businesses in the
UK are generally motivated to manage risk. They realize that good
risk management aligns with good business practice. However, there
are challenges for an industry that is highly segmented in terms of
risk management capacity. The findings have implications for
contemporary risk regulation in the increasingly number of
countries that rely on self-regulation. Managing Food Safety and
Hygiene will prove invaluable for academic researchers and students
in risk regulation studies, business studies, food studies,
organizational studies, social psychology, socio-legal studies,
sociology, management, public administration and political science.
In addition, the book will also appeal to practitioners
specifically to senior policy makers, regulators and business risk
managers charged with managing risk in diverse organizational
settings, and across different functional jurisdictions. Contents:
