| Abstract: |
Up to now we have discussed the cooperative model and have laid emphasis on the board and the management. In the present chapter we draw attention to the role of members. Present-day cooperatives were historically built on a foundation of communal self-reliance, a concept which F.W. Raiffeisen also stressed. By joining hands, a group of individuals developed countervailing power and opposed the opportunistic business behaviour of major companies. Are such notions still valid in today’s world? We believe they are. However, especially in North Western Europe, the cultural and particularly the political conditions have changed considerably.
