The Oxford Handbook of Mutual, Co-Operative, and Co-Owned Business
investigates all types of 'member owned' organizations, whether
consumer co-operatives, agricultural and producer co-operatives,
worker co-operatives, mutual building societies, friendly
societies, credit unions, solidarity organizations, mutual
insurance companies, or employee-owned companies. Such
organizations can be owned by their consumers, the producers, or
the employees - whether through single-stakeholder or
multi-stakeholder ownership. This complex set of organizations is
named differently across countries: from 'mutual' in the UK, to
'solidarity cooperatives' in Latin America. In some countries, such
organizations are not even officially recognized and thus lack a
specific denomination. For the sake of clarity, this Handbook will
refer to member-owned organizations to encompass the variety of
non-investor-owned organizations, and in the national case study
chapters the terms used will be those most widely employed in that
country. These alternative corporate forms have emerged in a
variety of economic sectors in almost all advanced economies since
the time of the industrial revolution and the development of
capitalism, through the subsequent creation and dominance of the
limited liability company. Until recently, these organizations were
generally regarded as a rather marginal component of the economy.
However, over the past few years, member-owned organizations have
come to be seen in some countries, at least, as potentially
attractive in light of their ability to tackle various economic and
social concerns, and their relative resilience during the financial
and economic crises of 2007-2017.
