The research topic of asymmetrical power relationships has been receiving increasingly more attention lately. However, only a few scientific works have studied in the context supply chain networks. Consisting collaborative interactions among numerous firms, such networks possess focal actor represented by well-branded company. other network actors are dependent on company because long-lasting explicit or implicit contracts.

In this article we suggest that rising quality requirements are key factors for the redesign of food chains. We argue supply proceeds through pyramidalhierarchical strategic networks coordinated by powerful focal firms. These firms choose a strategy and employ chain management concepts exerting managerial discretion to achieve super-ordinate network aims. introduce elaborate upon two types management: operative. The theoretical findings have been tested using evidence from Polish dairy...

This article develops the theoretical foundations of supply chain network management in order to investigate constructs surrounding whole success rather than just at firm level. It is argued that ‘network success’ link has been under-studied, with most empirical studies focusing on achievement goals by an individual a context. A model network's context networks food industry relationships used. The results identify network-level must be considered alongside firm-level networks. Furthermore,...
