농협 가공공장 운영의 성공요인에 관한 연구

Abstract

This study is intended to find out success factors to activate processing-factories of the Agricultural Cooperative Association which use the local agricultural produce as a raw material. The focus is on analyzing the management actualities of the processing-factories partly funded and operated by the government and the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation. The managers in charge of operation of the factories, and the local government officials concerned have been asked their attitudes through questionnaires. Their responses have made it possible to analyze the success factors of the processing factories run by the Agricultural Cooperative Association. It has been found out that the management ability is the most important factor of success, followed by the packing design, the quality certification and the production technology. This finding has shown that though their recognition of the actual condition is good, their practical performance is poor. It has also indicated that we all should create the atmosphere to foster and support leaders of management ability and that the universities and the institutes in the region should give a positive back-up to them. The corroborative analysis has shown that occupations and regions make considerable difference in responses. To solve this problem, a campaign such as 'Let's Vitalize Our Community.' is urgently needed. In this kind of movement, the local government, the social organizations, the universities and the institutes in the region should play an important role.
