Abstract: From institutional, resource dependence and organizational ecology perspectives, there are two initial requirements for organizational survival: 1) there are sufficient resources in the niche, and 2) the organization can obtain these resources. A new concept, saturation, is created to measure the scarcity of resources by analyzing its influence on survival. However, organizational success also depends on organizational characteristics, which can hinder the securing of the resources necessary for survival. This article researches ownership structure as an organizational characteristic. These influences are tested utilizing data from a population of 1298 Spanish olive oil mills.
