Resale price maintenance (RPM) is a channel pricing strategy that restricts the price below which a reseller may sell a manufacturer’s product. More than $300 billion in U.S. sales are affected annually by RPM agreements. Adopting a marketing perspective and analyzing trends in distribution arrangements and marketing channel systems, the authors offer predictions regarding the antitrust treatment of RPM following the Supreme Court’s decision in Leegin Creative Leather Products, Inc. v. PSKS, Inc. (2007). This research furthers the understanding of the role of the prior Colgate doctrine in establishing the existence of an RPM agreement and the impact of the new Leegin factors for assessing the competitive effects of RPM. Implications for stakeholders affected by RPM and related unilateral price policies are discussed.

Chepangs are highly marginalized indigenous nationalities of Nepal, who live nearby the forests that are rich in Non-timber Forest Products (NTFPs) of commercial importance. These NTFPs can be a potential source of income for Chepangs. This study describes the role of Chepangs in the marketing channel of those NTFPs and analyses the household socio-economic characteristics that influence the collection and marketing of NTFPs by Chepangs in Shaktikhor VDC of Chitwan district using backward multiple regression method. Empirical evidences show that collection and marketing of NTFPs is not an attractive source of income especially for those relatively better-off Chepang households who possess higher landholdings, food self-sufficiency, and income from other alternative sources. This is because the current price offered for the NTFPs collected by the community is very nominal, that do not even cover the labour costs involved. Praja Cooperative Limited (PCL), a Chepang community based institution in Shaktikhor, is struggling to provide better prices for Chepangs. However, it is facing challenges due to limited institutional management capacity of Chepangs. Further empowerment of PCL can contribute to improve the bargaining power of Chepang community in NTFP trade.

Agriculture is the primary source of livelihood for rural areas in Bihar. Agriculture being mostly dependent on monsoon is highly affected by scanty rainfall, weather variations, flood, etc. The study was conducted in Bhagalpur district of Bihar to assess role of different technologies in enhancing income and mitigate challenges faced by farmers. Three villages of Sabour block in Bhagalpur district namely Farka, Ghospur and English were selected for study. A total of 150 farmers (50 from each village) were selected randomly and data was collected using semi-structured interview schedule. Production innovations like high yielding varieties, new techniques, and home-made remedies of costly designs were identified, along with a marketing channel to sell vegetables from diara region. Some new crops like strawberry and fruits plantation in large area seemed to have good scope; poultry business also appeared to be promising. Some constraints were also identified which when rectified can give new potentials to agricultural production in this area.

PurposeSupply chain fraud is a significant global concern for firms, consumers and governments. Evidence of major fraud events suggests the role of supply chain structures in enabling and facilitating fraud, as they often involve several parties in complicated networks designed to obfuscate the fraud. This paper identifies how the structural characteristics of supply chains can play an important role in enabling, facilitating and preventing fraud.Design/methodology/approachThe research follows a theory elaboration approach. The authors build on structural holes theory in conjunction with a multiple case study research design to identify new concepts and develop propositions regarding the role of network structure on supply chain fraud.FindingsThis research shows how structural holes in a supply chain can create advantages for unscrupulous firms, a role we call tertius fraudans, or the cheating third. This situation is exacerbated by structural ignorance, which refers to the lack of knowledge about structural connections in the network. Both structural holes and structural ignorance can create information gaps that facilitate fraud, and the authors propose solutions to detect and prevent this kind of fraud.Originality/valueThis paper extends structural holes theory into the domain of fraud. Novel concepts including tertius fraudans, structural ignorance and bridge collapse are offered, alongside a series of propositions that can help understand and manage structural supply chain fraud.

Day By Day

In India, agriculture is considered as the backbone of its economy. It has been around since ancient times when other sectors were not even in existence yet. Today agriculture has achieved commercial importance and one of the powerful sectors contributing to nations’ GDP. The population of our country is increasing day by day and the size of land remains same. So, with increasing productivity, another important concept is “MANAGEMENT”. Agribusiness Management Education is a discipline that blends economic, agriculture, business (commerce) and management principles. In agriculture education, management field is gaining popularity day by day. Since the last few decades, agriculture has achieved satisfactory growth but due to some factors, the agricultural growth is relatively stagnated. So, upgradation is needed, right from pre harvesting until it reaches at the consumer level. Farmers are key performers in farming but are not able to get good returns to his produce due to many middlemen in the marketing channel. Due to a growing population, it creates a disparity between market demand and supply. So, proper management practices are required including reducing raw material wastage at farm and processing level and effective marketing strategies are also needed. Hence, an attempt is made in this paper to study the role of management education in agri-business sector and how it will help in developing managerial skills and to develop management workforce to cater for the Indian agricultural industry which serves as a good option for potential employment in corporate sector.

Food waste is generally seen as highly unethical. Recycling food waste requires establishing information-sharing channels in the food supply chain. However, the lack of relationship between suppliers and potential demanders hinders the delivery of waste products, conceptualized as "structural holes" in social network research. The food recovery digital platform in the food supply chain acts as a market intermediary to bridge the communication at the two ends of the structural holes, fulfilling the function of "brokers", which has been proven in the transaction cost theory to reduce the transaction costs and improve the performance of the supply chain. However, related research on digital platforms and supply chains ignores this new type of brokerage. This research combines network research, transaction cost research, and supply chain research and explores the role of food recovery platforms in food waste problems in the food supply chain.
