地域農業管理体制に関する組織間関係論的考察

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to investigate what kind of management structure is for improving regional agriculture. For that, we apply "the theory of interorganizational relations". We investigate what coordination-mechanism of diversified machineries or organizations for regional agriculture, especially coordinating organizations, should be. We classify management structures for regional agriculture into four models, i.e. <no-coordinating organization model> <salontic-coordinating organization model> < selfish-coordinating organization model> < functional-coordinating organization model>. We indicate that, in case of the functional-coordinating organization model, management structure is likely established, and the potential of regional agriculture will be improved. We state necessary conditions for the establishment of management structure as follows. Firstly, this structure should have coordinating organizations to joint machineries or organizations of regional agriculture and farmers. Through coordinating organizations' functions, it is able to conduct regional agriculture based upon unified strategy of it, and to stabilize coordination-mechanism in management structure. Secondly, it is to be desired that coordinating organizations are leadingly operated by machineries or organizations, which are able to negotiate the rest on an equal footing, and have a certain power. Especially, we hope the leadership of administration, i.e. cities, towns, and villages. Thirdly, according to furnish practical function with coordinating organizations, interorganization relations will become tight, and there is a great possibility of evading to change coordinating organizations into salon. Fourthly, it is to be desired that coordinating organizations are plural in management structure.
