Available frameworks in the theory of economic organization need some extensions for describing, classifying and assessing organization forms in the agri-food sector. Starting from examples of these structural ‘anomalies’, the paper develops a wider typology of forms, featuring three disentangled dimensions – the allocation of property rights, the organizational coordination mechanisms, and the legal and contractual foundations. Using available studies on ‘hybrid’ forms, it is shown that the proposed classification systems encompasses a wider variety of forms and permits a more fine-grained comparative assessment among them, which may be useful also beyond the specific sector under analysis.

Abstract

Available frameworks in the theory of economic organization need some extensions for describing, classifying and assessing organization forms in the agri-food sector. Starting from examples of these structural ‘anomalies’, the paper develops a wider typology of forms, featuring three disentangled dimensions – the allocation of property rights, the organizational coordination mechanisms, and the legal and contractual foundations. Using available studies on ‘hybrid’ forms, it is shown that the proposed classification systems encompasses a wider variety of forms and permits a more fine-grained comparative assessment among them, which may be useful also beyond the specific sector under analysis.
