Abstract: |
The cooperative was characterized in the first chapter as an alliance designed to achieve certain objectives for the participants - the individual cooperators - within the context of (free) markets. The added value of the cooperative comes from producing benefits for member cooperators that wouldn’t be available to the members working alone. This applies only to those cooperatives that have business or economic objectives. Social service cooperatives in some countries are formed for various reasons other than economic gain and may not be completely applicable to the issues discussed here. But within the focus of this book, the business cooperative bears a special burden of always needing to be entrepreneurial on two levels: it must be entrepreneurial in its own right and it must add value to its members by assisting them to become more entrepreneurial individually, or independently.
