Partnerships as an organizational form in midscale values based food chains

Summary

Partnerships can ‘expand’ the future but only when the involved organizations take on the responsibility within the organization. Mutual commitment is required (time).
Partnerships are observer dependent, there is no universal recipe on success  the mutual mutuality depends solely on the involved parties (values).
The mutual mutuality is based on reciprocal trust.
The successful partnerships observed in the Healthy Growth project builds on strong normative values and a mutual commitment to act up on these values.
To actualize these values successful requires determination and commitment from the involved organizations.
This cannot be left to a ‘demand from the consumer’.
