“…Depending on the market valuation for specialty products, a self‐selection process may develop among the members of a large cooperative (Hendrikse & Bijman, ). Members with generic products continue their membership of the cooperative to benefit from countervailing power (Sergaki, ). Producers of specialty products may abandon the cooperative and set up new small cooperatives to benefit from improved innovation.…”

“…It facilitates both our inductive approach and the empirical testing of the hypothesized relationships. Mid‐1990s, the majority of agribusiness cooperatives in Greece were traditionally organized and had weak marketing approaches (Oustapassidis et al., ; Sergaki, ). In 2000, however, the Greek law on agribusiness cooperatives (Law of Greece, number 2810/2000) was introduced permitting the organizational restructuring of cooperatives to enhance their market position.…”

We develop a classification of traditional versus restructured cooperative organizational attributes based on an inductive approach. Using this classification and integrating concepts from the business literature (i.e., market and brand orientation), we hypothesize three types of relationships: (a) the influence of organizational attributes, i.e., ownership, control and cost/benefit allocation, on organizational performance; (b) the influence of strategic, i.e., market and brand orientation, attributes on organizational performance, and (c) the influence of organizational attributes on market orientation. We examine these relationships empirically in two studies. In study 1, using data from 114 agribusiness cooperatives, we demonstrate that strategic attributes have a greater influence on organizational performance than organizational attributes. In study 2, we replicate the design from study 1, i.e., tracking attribute scores over time, with a subsample of 25 cooperatives 4 years later. This second study generally confirms the findings of study 1. Taken together, the results suggest that greater emphasis should be placed on strategic attributes both in the literature and in practice. C 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

“…Scholars emphasize the role of various agricultural organizations in product building in the "organizational" study. They believe that the production and marketing organizations in the agricultural industry should concentrate their resources on cluster production and building under the background of opening up [4]. At the same time, people should focus on the cultivation of leading enterprises in agricultural products industry and emphasize the leading role of leading enterprises in the establishment of standards, and the leading role for the growth of other enterprises, especially small and micro enterprises.…”

Supply-side structural reform requires that the work should focus on improving the effective supply and high-end supply of products. It is necessary to put forward new ideas for brand building and change the way of development and building. Due to the constraints of natural conditions, the brand building of green agricultural products in Guizhou is unreasonable and inappropriate. Based on the perspective of brand niche and the relevant literature, this paper summarizes the basic problems existing in the brand building of agricultural products in Guizhou. What is more, considering the main body of brand building, the whole industrial chain of product production and the factors of brand building, this paper puts forward the "trinity" path of the brand building of green agricultural products in line with the theory of brand niche. This paper enriches the theoretical application of brand niche and has reference significance for brand building practice.
