O processo de governança e coordenação das cadeias produtivas de aves e suínos no Rio Grande do Sul

Abstract

The study presented in this dissertation proposes an analysis of the governance and coordination process of poultry and swine production chains in Rio Grande do Sul. Aspects of governance and coordination of those chains were identified confronting theoretical support found in literature with data from agents who experienced various stages of this process. This study preferred an exploratory investigation and qualitative research methodology aiming to understand the forms of governance and coordination within these chains of production. As a result, it was found that integrated companies exercise a large part of the governance and coordination. Different types of governance and coordination were identified among the participating links in the poultry and swine production chains.
