Abstract

[eng] Contractual forms between retailers and their suppliers in the food sector . Vertical integration on the one hand and contractual relations on the other hand are two main features of the food retailing sector. The economical weight of each of these both sides is more or less similar. However, in the long run, it seems that (a) the contractual side is more important than the integrated one and, in the same time, that (b) contractual forms related to high quality tend now to be dominant These two points (a, b) are the one we are going to explain here. [fre] Un tour d'horizon rapide de la situation récente des enseignes du secteur de la distribution alimentaire montre deux tendances opposées : une tendance intégratrice et une tendance non-intégratrice. Précisons que ce vocable est distinct de celui utilisé par les professionnels puisque, pour ces derniers, une enseigne intégratrice est celle qui dispose, en son sein, d'une centrale d'achat (perception intra-organisationnelle pure) tandis qu'ici l'enseigne intégratrice est celle qui, par exemple, ayant ou non une centrale d'achat, acquiert, de façon externe, les droits de propriété (ou de contrôle dans une logique de groupe) d'une ou de plusieurs activités de transformation (perception inter-organisationnelle dans un cadre de stratégie industrielle). Les deux tendances mentionnées (respectivement, parmi les principaux leaders, on trouve: Casino, Leclerc et Intermarché d'une part, Carrefour d'autre part) sont d'une importance économique considérable. Cependant, en dynamique, il semble que la tendance non-intégratrice (ou hybride) se développe davantage aujourd'hui et surtout, qu'au sein des formes hybrides, celles qui sont d'une meilleure qualité tendent aussi à s'imposer désormais.
