Abstract:The agricultural logistics ecosphere is proposed to solve the problems of poor industrial linkage,low technology level and backward operation mode faced by traditional agriculture in the development process. It is an important starting point of agricultural supply side structural reform. Considering that there are so many main bodies related to agricultural logistics ecosphere,and the collaboration among these main bodies will be influenced by so many factors,we should establish a framework for the influencing factors to provide related research with an index system. Based on the Grounded Theory,with the help of NVivo 11.0,the authors carry out an in- depth analysis. As the result:112 initial concepts are extracted;39 categories are summarized according to the initial concepts;15 subcategories and 5 main categories are further extracted;and the main categories are summarized as external driving factors,internal driving factors,intermediary factors and disturbance factors,which form the framework of related influencing factors. In this framework,collaboration environment can be defined as the external driving factor;collaboration mechanism and capability can be defined as internal driving factors;the willingness of collaboration can be defined as intermediary factor;and these factors can not have direct effect on agricultural logistic ecosphere,but only can have effect through the following three paths:the first is from external driving factor to intermediary factor,and to agricultural logistic ecosphere collaboration;the second is from internal driving factor to intermediary factor,and to agricultural logistic ecosphere collaboration;and the third is taking disturbance factor as the regulator of the internal and external driving factors.
Key words:agricultural logistics ecosphere;collaboration;external driving factor;internal driving factor;intermediary factor
