| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this research is to reconsider the significance of the big farm business including joint-stock company, which was mainly analyzed from the viewpoint of legal person theory or enterprise theory, from the viewpoint of co-operative management. To achieve this purpose it was the main method to make many fieldworks of various big farm businesses in East Germany (including East European Countries), China and Japan.
Main study results are as follows.
1.There remain many co-operative types of big farm businesses not only with the enterprise form of production co-operatives, but also with various forms of enterprises including joint-stock company in East Germany and East European Countries under the transition economies from the beginning of 1990s. One of the big enterprise group of agriculture in East Germany (co-operative type of big farm business), of which I have been making a fixed point observation for long time, was newly in 2004 drastically divided into daughter companies. I will follow and analyze this process from now on.
2.There grow in Mainland of China many farm enterprises with economically high performances under the conditions of mixture of group ownership of land and corporate enterprises.
3.In Japan there arise many new types of co-operative farm business such as agricultural production legal person invested by JA or community village supported agricultural enterprise with various legal forms not only in the region where there are few successors of family farms but also in the progressive regions where there are many tough family farms. In addition the problematic situation of scale economy in rice production was analyzed through the calculation of rice production cost tables in original sheets.
