This book presents a study of cooperatives as a two-layer
entrepreneurial model, and analyzes cooperative enterprises. Above
all, it explores how inducements (from the firm) and contributions
(from its members, in their respective roles) are aligned, and
seeks to answer the question of what this means for managing each
cooperative as a firm as well as a group. The book is divided into
three parts, the first of which begins with an analysis of specific
aspects of cooperative enterprises, with a focus on the added value
of cooperation, the weighing of interests, and a behavioral
perspective on the imminent communities and their goals. In a
structured approach, the book examines the various facets of
relationships in cooperatives on a transactional, financial and
control level. Further, a case study on the Dutch cooperative
Rabobank illustrates what happens when members fail. In turn, part
two concentrates on integrating the lessons learned with the
existing economic literature on cooperatives, so as to contribute
to a theory of cooperative management. Finally, the book links the
theoretical approach to practice: in the third part, it reports on
the outcomes of using a computerized simulation game to show
members of cooperatives how to manage their business and the
cooperative business at the same time, enabling them to understand
and actively practice two-level entrepreneurship.
