This book's purpose is to shed light on the threats and
opportunities arising from the incentives and restrictions of
governmental actions which food industry managers discover in their
search for profits. The food industry, as defined here, includes
farmers, their input suppliers, processors and distributors. This
text explores how the private sector reacts to the stimulus of
public support measures, rules and regulations which are usually
motivated by entirely different ends than those desired within the
private sector. No current single model of economic behavior as yet
adequately encompasses or quantifies these complex vectors and
forces. Management is comprised of many factors, most of which can
be identified ex post but few of which can be appraised precisely
ex ante. The perceptual processes by which managers respond to
governments are influenced by culture, aptitudes, individual and
collective goals. details of most government/business relationships
are discussed Few openly since management and government officials
are, understandably, often reluctant to share the decision tree
route by which trust is built and understandings are negotiated.
Our text differs from others in that we combine both a theoretical
and experiential approach to the subject. The insights provided by
the case study material give a more macro and yet realistic view
than tha t usually offered elsewhere. We indicate the risks and
dynamics of the situations faced by management while also showing
the importance and strategic relevance of a solid analytical
foundation for managerial purposes.
