Abstract: Agribusiness management has evolved as an area of academic interest and has reached a point where various individuals wonder whether it is a separate discipline. At present there are many perceptions of what it is and with what it deals. This confusion has been extended by individual authors who have sought to clarify what agribusiness management is by putting forth what it means to them. But if agribusiness management is to be a discipline, it must have disciples united under a common set of beliefs. This article identifies four issues found in the literature that must be addressed if the disciplinary roots for agribusiness management are to be established. Results of a survey showing the commonality of beliefs regarding them are reported. Although many beliefs are shared, there are also considerable differences. These results suggest the need for further discussion of the issues identified if agribusiness management is to be established as a discipline in its own right. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
