Research Abstract

(1) Organizational forms of group-farming are almost determined by what kind of family farms have been by the member farmers. (2) When they think it impossible to expend the size of their family farm, they tend to form some group-farming organization. (3) One of the indispensable elements to stant a group-farming organization is farmers' expectation that they can rent almost all the agricultural lend in the region. (4) Their calculation that they can get more income by forming the organization than remaining as private farmers is the decisive conditions to stant it. (5)The form of the organization differs according to the relation between the management of the organization itself and the management of the family farm of the group members. The organizational forms tend to be dichotomized, one is the organization that permits member farmers to hold their own family farm, the other that does not. (6) Decision of a leader is especially important in deciding which organizational form to be chosen. (7) The possibility of survival of the group-farming organization depends on how much it fulfills the functional imperatives as a productive organization. (8) The relation between the organizational decision and the decision of the individual members is quite important. (9) In our cases, a good relation between the two decision making ways could not be found. (10) Both cases are in difficulty in forming an elastic organizational structure which can cope with the changes of conditions surrorending them. (11) The crucial for these group-farming organization to survive is to find a suitable way or organizational decision making that can be compatible with decision making of the individual members.
