The aim of this paper is to shed light on the way organizations that collaborate in multi-stakeholder networks organize their crisis management readiness. It argues that crisis management practices differ significantly based on whether or not organizations are supply or demand over-dependent. In equilibrium between demand and supply, an organization is able to rely on non-linear connectedness and interdependence to foster relationships in the supply chain during a crisis. In this paper, we analyze the case of a food safety crisis that occurred in 2008 at a Canadian-based processing plant and challenge the current conventions. Finally, conclusions concerning the implementation of the framework together with limitations and future research directions are presented.

“…The EU has an integrated approach to food safety which is designed to ensure effective control systems and compliance with EU standards (Hudson and Hudson, 2008). This covers how farmers produce food, how it is processed, how it is sold and the nature of the information provided on the labeling.…”

This article discusses government regulation and the consequent compliance costs for the private sector from the perspective of transaction cost economics. In many cases, government regulation is shaped as legally binding standards. In order to comply with these standards, private sector firms meet various types of transaction costs, such as the bonding costs that the principal/agent relationship of government regulation brings about. On the other hand, good standards may reduce transaction costs. Therefore, optimal design of government regulation requires the design of standards with the lowest possible transaction costs. Due to network externalities and economics of scale, and in order to guarantee a level playing field, good coordination and unifying standards within the EU can be beneficial. This article provides examples of such standards.

Revisiting the Regulatory State: A Multidisciplinary Review Establishing a New Research Agenda

This paper provides a comprehensive literature review of the 'Regulatory State' through the lens of utility regulation. The review is multidisciplinary with it bringing together the insights available from the political science, economics, legal and management science literatures. It is clear that while the term 'Regulatory State' is essentially missing from the economics literature a vast array of economics papers provide valuable insights for debates about the Regulatory State within political science. In addition to reviewing the existing literature, the paper identifies opportunities for future research. The literature is grouped into five topics: (i) Consumers, (ii) Courts, (iii) Ideas, Experts and Expertise, (iv) Governance and (v) Assessing Regulator Performance. Apart from (iv), we believe all of these areas have been under-researched in relative terms. In particular, a key finding is that compared to the information available on Public Utility Commissioners in US States, very little information has been collated on the background, characteristics and careers of individual utility regulators working within Europe.
