Abstract

[fre] Le thème général des relations entre agents dans les filières alimentaires est abordé ici sous l'aspect particulier de l'action des associations de consommateurs en France. Après un bref rappel historique, qui montre que le phénomène du consumérisme a des racines déjà lointaines, les actions des associations sont abordées sous les trois angles : défense, information, et représentation des consommateurs. . Ces actions sont ensuite analysées du point de vue de leur impact sur les agents de l'amont : les entreprises de transformation, les milieux professionnels et les distributeurs. . Bien que peu d'enquêtes aient été menées dans ce domaine, on peut constater que les modifications de comportement des entreprises restent faibles. Le phénomène touche avant tout les grandes entreprises qui sont en mesure de s'adapter. Et cela d'autant mieux que les théoriciens du marketing élaborent de nouveaux conôepts qui permettront aux entreprises d'intégrer les aspirations sociales à long terme des consommateurs. [eng] The development of consumer associations and their impact on industrialists - The general subject of the relationship between agents in the food industry is tackled here from the particular angle of the action of consumer associations in France. After a brief outline of their history, showing that the phenomenon of « consumerism » has deep roots, the action of these associations is considered from three points of view : defence, information, representation of consumers. . This action is then analysed from the point of view of its impact on earlier agents : the processing industries, professional circles and distributors. . Although few studies have been carried out in this field, it is evident that modifications in the behaviour of firms are slight. The phenomenon principally affects the big firms which are able to adapt, and all the more so that marketing theorists work out new concepts that will enable the firms to take into account the consumers' long-term social aspirations.
