ENTREPRENEURIAL OPPORTUNITY,VALUE EVOLUTION,AND ORGANIZATIONAL INTEGRATION OF PROFESSIONAL FARMER ENTREPRENEURSHIP:A MULTI-CASE COMPARISON IN CHINA

A comparative multi-case analysis of professional farmer entrepreneurship cases in China was performed by applying the structural hole theory.The results confirmed four views.(1)Choosing the modern agriculture project entrepreneurship is rational for professional farmers,who return from urban,to reduce the interference from non-market factors.The success of this project stems from its ability to successfully occupy the structural hole of the market trading network.(2)In economically developed areas,professional farmers start their businesses and reduce transaction costs with factors by occupying‘self-benefit’or‘mutual-benefit’structural holes in market networks.(3)In traditional agricultural areas,for reducing factor transaction costs,professional farmers occupy the organizational-governance structural hole of rural social relationship networks and the mutual-benefit structural hole of market networks to start their businesses.(4)The embedding order of these two structural holes will change depending on the differences in the local resource endowment.This article proposes some suggestions to encourage professional farmers to develop featured agricultural projects,build a close benefit-linked mechanism with smallholders through the provision of socialized services,and participate in the governance of rural communities.

农户资源差异性程度及其对农民专业合作社本质的认知影响研究——以湖南省益阳市赫山区和衡东县为例

农民专业合作社是小农户链接大市场以及实现农业规模经营的有效载体,农户之间资源差异性程度显著与否,极大地影响着农户对合作社本质的认知。运用访谈式调查和问卷调查法对湖南省衡东县和益阳市赫山区泥江口镇范围内农户的人力、自然、资金和社会等资源进行了调查,测定出其资源差异性平均指数、组合指数和综合指数均在5倍左右,表明当地农户资源差异性程度较大。采用有序Probit模型回归分析得出:影响农户对合作社本质的认知的资源因素中,外出务工经历、所处地区对其认知产生了正向的显著影响,而户主性别、收入水平则对其有着负向的显著影响。此外,农户社会资源与对村委会的态度等因素也有明显影响。最后从基层政府、村委会和农户自身三方面为提高农户对合作社本质的认知提出了相关建议。
