Research Abstract |
One of the key questions that this research aims to address is : What is alternative about the 'alternative' food networks (AFN) constituted by large food company ? After analyzing the sake supply network of big company, I got conclusion as below. AFN of large company seems to be at least partly alternative, because it includes horizontal relationships among network participants. However, there are also vertical and bureaucratic organizations within the network. Thus, large company's AFN represents hybrid forms between 'network' and 'hierarchical' organizations.
