In industrial districts social norms are as important as formal institutions in coordinating actors’ behaviour. While the literature on agro-industrial districts has generally stressed the role of trust, the paper states that power can be as effective as trust in solving coordination problems stemming from contract incompleteness and opportunistic behaviours. The paper presents the results of an empirical research carried out in the Italian processed tomato industry and discusses some definitions of power given by the social network analysis.
