Cooperative Management
Autonomous association of persons united voluntarily to meet their common economic, social and cultural needs and aspirations through a jointly owned and democratically-controlled enterprise.
What are some key problems that this process can solve?
• Lack of ownership or access to means of production
• Exploitative wages
• Limited decision-making power
• Differing priorities between workers and owners/bosses
How does this process work?
A system where people unite to run their enterprises. The organization is managed by its workers/members, and decisions are taken in a democratic fashion through deliberation. Financial and material resources are shared within the cooperative, keeping the sustainability of the co-operative in mind.
