      abstract = {This paper provides an overview of a FAIR research project  into the specific conditions and institutional  requirements
for the development of PDO and PG/ products  (Protected Designation of Origin and Protected Geographical  Indication).
The research project is to be completed in  1999 and it is hoped that the assessments and  recommendations
made will help in harmonising the  implementation of European Council Regulation (EEC) No  2081/92.
Twenty-one supply chains in seven countries are  analysed (France, Italy, Greece, Netherlands, UK, Spain  and
Switzerland). The primary factor in success is the  capacity of a set of firms in a supply chain based in a  particular
area to effectively coordinate such matters as  the identification of joint objectives, definition and  control of quality,
variety management, image promotion,  and research & development. Market characteristics are  secondary factors in
success. Following Bouquin (1986) we  draw a distinction between effectiveness and efficiency.  Emphasising the
crucial step of goal setting  (effectiveness) may highlight the relevance of internal  resources and competencies of a
set of firms, according to  Teece (1981). This explains why the set of firms manages  not only to react to their
environment but also to  influence it. This approach is consistent with a number of  rationality and organisation models
proposed by Simon  (1976). This kind of transition from individual to  collective forms of management shows a
possible link  between an approach in terms of hybrid forms (efficiency)  and an approach in terms of core  competence
(effectiveness). We end with an evaluation of  Reg. (EEC) 2081/92 and highlight a number of problems with  its
implementation.},
