This book was released on 2014 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Previous research in cooperative governance have modeled the relationship between performance and governance using econometric methods such as two-stage least squares (2SLS) estimation and three-stage least squares (3SLS) estimation. This study uses an alternative modeling approach to cooperative governance--structural equation modeling. Treated in a novel way, cooperative performance is measured as a latent variable. The findings contribute a robust measurement model to the literature providing evidence that cooperative performance is best measured by qualitative indicators rather than quantitative financial indicators. The structural model suggests that cooperative performance is weakly associated with governance practices.
Book Synopsis Agricultural Cooperatives by : Glynn McBride
Download or read book Agricultural Cooperatives written by Glynn McBride and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The genesis of this book dates back a number of years to an annual meeting of the American Institute of Cooperation. Cooperative leaders at that meeting openly expressed their feelings that they would like a much stronger commitment on the part of our land grant universities in particular and other educational institutions in general to creating a greater understanding of cooperatives and their role in our economy. Since I was in agreement with this position, the course in general group action which I was teaching was changed to emphasize the role of agricultural cooperatives. The need for a textbook designed to help in this emphasis became apparent. This book is the culmination of an effort to meet that need. This book has been prepared with the student and instructor in mind. It is based upon experience gained from many years of interaction with students in a classroom setting, in discussions with them after class hours, and after they had finished their degree requirements and had taken positions in jndustry, government, or elsewhere. While objectives of the book have remained relatively unchanged over time, the sub stance and format as means of meeting those objectives have changed from time to time as a result of these contacts and discussions. The input xiv Preface xv of students over the years as reflected in this product is gratefully acknowledged.

Book Synopsis Agricultural Cooperatives In Transition by : Csaba Csaki
Download or read book Agricultural Cooperatives In Transition written by Csaba Csaki and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2021-11-28 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1993, this is a study of agricultural co-operatives. The farming structure in transition countries has shifted from dominance of large corporate farms to family smallholdings. Smallholders everywhere experience difficulties with access to market services, including sale of products, purchase of inputs, and acquisition of machinery; they suffer from credit shortages and have limited access to information and advisory services. The barriers to market access prevent smallholders from fully exploiting their inherent productivity advantages. Best-practice world experience highlights farmers' service cooperatives, created by grassroots users, as the most effective way of improving the market access of small farmers. Service cooperatives also help smallholders overcome market failures, when private business entrepreneurs are unwilling to provide services in areas that they judge unprofitable or unfairly exploit users through monopolistic practices. These difficulties and market failures are prominent in transition countries and scholars accordingly expected rapid development of agricultural service cooperatives in response to smallholder needs. The present volume explores gaps between expectations and reality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While most economic organisation literature on cooperatives has focused on changes in income rights, we study changes in the allocation of decision rights between board of directors (representing members) and managers. The traditional role of the board is to direct the activities of the managers. However, professional management increasingly makes most strategic decisions, pushing the board into a supervisory role. We present two groups of findings on changing board - management relationships. We identify three corporate governance models: traditional model, management model, and corporation model, and we present an empirical illustration showing a relationship between the choice of board model and product portfolio and performance.

They cover issues including: the impact on rural development and inclusiveness, the role of social capital, formal versus informal organizations, democratic participation and member relations, and their role in value chains. Students and scholars will find the book’s multidisciplinary approach useful in their research. It will also be of interest to policy-makers seeking to understand the wide diversity of organizational forms and functions. NGOs, donors and governments seeking to support rural developments will benefit from the discussions raised in this book.
Book Synopsis The Agricultural Cooperative in the Framework of the European Cooperative Society by : Georg Miribung
Download or read book The Agricultural Cooperative in the Framework of the European Cooperative Society written by Georg Miribung and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book assesses the Statute for a European Cooperative Society (SCE) regarding agricultural activities by comparing how specific questions arising in this context must be dealt with under the Italian and Austrian legal systems. In this regard, Council Regulation (EC) No. 1435/2003, of 22 July 2003, on the Statute for a European Cooperative Society (SCE), is used as a tool for the structured analysis of various aspects of agricultural cooperatives. However, a comparison is only meaningful if the results are made comparable on the basis of a previously defined standard. Accordingly, the study uses, on one hand, a cooperative model developed by European legal scholars that defines general guidelines on how cooperatives should function (PECOL). On the other, the results are presented in connection with economic considerations to discuss how efficient rules can be developed.
Book Synopsis Three Essays on the Dynamic Ownership and Governance of U.S. Farmer Cooperatives by : Jasper Grashuis

This book was released on 2016 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to better understand the long-term behavior of farmer-owned economic organizations, the cooperative life cycle model is advanced and improved via the application of economic theory to each of its five phases. Specifically, transaction cost theory, property rights theory, and agency theory help explain the birth-to-death trajectory of farmer cooperatives, which tinker and reinvent to remain optimal in the competitive market. Tinkering is the adaptation of constitutional rights, policies, and procedures to adjust member objectives, and reinventing is defined as the adaptation of organizational scope or purpose to adjust cooperative actions. As such, tinkering and reinventing are two processes to maintain the long-term cooperative equilibrium. Another aspect of importance to the economic viability of farmer cooperatives is governance, which involves all the mechanisms to manage the separation of control and ownership. Cooperative governance is often assumed to be identical to corporate governance, yet differences in structures and objectives suggest otherwise. Secondary data analysis is conducted to descriptively inform the difference in governance and performance for two samples of agri-food firms and cooperatives. Demographically, all financial characteristics as well as most board and management characteristics are observed to be significantly different for the two samples. According to the main result of the empirical analysis, the causal impact of board size, female directorship, director independence, and director equity ownership on financial performance is also significantly different, which implies cooperative governance is not identical to corporate governance. As compared to the firm, the overall structure of farmer cooperatives is often analyzed in isolation. There exist typologies of the ownership structure, the governance structure, as well as the capital structure. However, the interrelationship is underexplored. To address the gap in the literature, a three-dimensional framework is informed by agency theory, finance theory, and cooperative theory. The three dimensions are member ownership diversity, member control delegation, and financial flexibility, for which a positive linear relationship is hypothesized. Primary survey data is collected for the full population of U.S. farmer cooperative to test hypotheses of the framework. Based on 371 survey responses, a relatively wide tunnel of cooperative life is observed in which low ownership diversity and low member control delegation do not correspond to high financial flexibility. Further, empirical data analysis indicates the relationship of ownership and capital is independent, while the relationship of ownership and governance is bi-directional.
