農産物流通における情報ネットワークシステムの確立と流通成果の向上

Abstract

In this paper, it is discussed which kinds of methodology might be appropriate to measuring the impacts of constructing information network systems on increasing agricultural marketing performance. To clarify research purposes, literature on the intersection between the both studies on agricultural marketing and information network systems is discussed mainly related to the contributions by the Kyoto school of agricultural economic studies. Some tentative empiricality assessing information network system performances is shown through case studies on fresh fruit marketing and beef marketing. In the third section, two methodologies are speculationally considered to be effective so as to investigate such impacts as shown above. One is cost-benefit analysis framework based on the precise data from accounting studies. The other one is a simulational analysis affiliated by mathematical theory of waiting lines.
