Keywords:
The Dual Nature, Cooperative Purpose, Cooperative Management, Cooperative Governance, Co-operativeAbstract
Unique characteristics of co-operative model stem from the cooperative mission and purpose. The dual nature of co-operatives means that the model combines the business role and the member community role in a unique way. In both theory and practice this duality needs clarification: What was the original idea and purpose of co-ops and how can the duality be theorized? How does the duality manifest itself in practice from the perspectives of management, corporate governance, owner-member, employee, region or society? The combining theme of this track is the unique identity of co-operatives and movement’s significance that goes well beyond economic factors.
