Determinants of product and process innovation in small Food Manufacturing firms
Trends in Food Science and Technology, 2004Co-Authors: Tessa Avermaete, Eleanor J. Morgan, Eamonn Pitts, Nick Crawford, Jacques Viaene, Denise MahonAbstract:The paper examines the determinants of product and process innovation in small Food Manufacturing firms. Small Food Manufacturing firms are generally viewed as operating in a mature and low technology area, where R&D activities are limited and patenting is rare. This research is based on an in-depth survey among 177 firms located in six rural areas in the EU. Four groups of firms are identified: non-innovators, traditionals, followers and leaders. Multiple logistic regression is developed to identify the drivers of product and process innovation in the firms. The results highlight the key role of the skills of the workforce, the firm's investment in know-how and the use of external sources of information. There is, however, no evidence of a significant relationship between the characteristics of the entrepreneur and the firm's innovation performance.

Concentration change and countervailing power in the U.S. Food Manufacturing industries.
Contributions to Economics, 1996Co-Authors: John M. O'connor, Richard T. Rogers, Vijay BhagavanAbstract:The purpose of this paper is to determine whether the countervailing power of grocery retailers has had a restraining influence on increases in seller market concentration in the U.S. Food Manufacturing industries.

Structural Change in the U.S. Food Manufacturing Sector
2006Co-Authors: Shinn-shyr Wang, Kyle W. Stiegert, Richard T. RogersAbstract:This study examines the market structure-conduct-performance relationship for 48 four-digit SIC Food and Tobacco Processing Industries during the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. The simultaneous-equation analyses are used to explore the relationship among price-cost margin (PCM), market concentration, advertising outlay, and various control variables. With an intertemporal setting, our findings provide evidence of structural changes over time in the U.S. Food Manufacturing sector and support some of the conventional SCP wisdoms, but challenge others.

Agricultural Cooperatives and Market Performance in Food Manufacturing
1993Co-Authors: Richard T. Rogers, Lisa M. PetragliaAbstract:Support for the cooperative yardstick hypothesis was found using a standard structure-performance model that was extended to include a cooperative market share variable and was estimated with a large cross-section of Food Manufacturing markets. Market concentration and advertising intensity were positively related to price-cost margins. In addition, the aggregate market share of the one hundred largest agricultural marketing cooperatives was inversely related to price-cost margins. The magnitude of the effect was largest in the more concentrated markets. This suggests that. where cooperatives have vertically extended themselves into Food processing. more competitive outcomes are found even in highly concentrated markets.
