Abstract

This paper puts forward an analysis of the French dairy industry. We use statistic processing of individual firms data with regards to their economic features and jobs structure. Nine models of firms are brought forward corresponding to different forms of organization conducting to the setting into practice of various strategies, as much in the point view of used technologies and fabricated products as in those of market relations. The firms which make up the nine models and the competition/coordination relationships which tied them, allows to build up a whole representation of the dairy industry. To end, we test the relative efficiency of the different models for several economic performance criteria. The tests are concluding to a coherence of each of these models at the heart of a global grading.
