Description

Co-operatives and mutual businesses are amongst the oldest and most enduring in the world.

They comprise some of the largest business enterprises, take a wide variety of forms, and operate within many different industries. And yet, co-operatives have a lot in common - including a democratic model of governance and their member-owned structure.

Co-operatives in the Fourth Sector: The Role of Member-Owned Businesses in the Global Economy contributes to the development of a better understanding of a co-operative and mutual business, and how the member -focused nature of the co-operatives is the fundamental driver of their success.

Part I of this book contains four chapters that deal with the governance and financing of co-operatives.

Part II includes two international cases that explore the significance of delivering member value to ensure co-operatives sustainability.

Part III, then, contains three chapters that examine the potential contribution of co-operatives in developing economies.

Drawn from the research of a cross-section of international scholars, this work was a collaborative project between The University of Western Australia and Co-operatives WA.
