      abstract = {Nowadays food products are increasingly produced in supply  chain networks that involve numerous firms. Due to their  pyramidal-hierarchical structure, such networks possess a  focal company that coordinates the network. The managerial  task of the focal company is to work out collective  strategy that addresses cooperation and coordination  problems at the firm, dyadic and network levels. These  strategies must take into account that at each level  specific goals must be achieved. Though the focal company  is a strategy setting unit that sets network goals, other  network actors may perceive these goals as firm-level goals  of the focal company. Therefore, conflicts may occur in  supply chain networks.},
