摘要：

The ten largest food and beverage corporations control over half of the food sales in the United States and their share may be increasing. Using data from a range of secondary sources, we examine these corporations and their boards of directors. Social and demographic characteristics of board members gleaned from corporate reports, the business press, and elsewhere are presented. Information on interlocking corporate directorates and other common ties among members of the boards of directors show that US based food and beverage corporations are tied together through a web of indirect interlocks. © 2000 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
