AGRICULTURAL COOPERATIVE MANAGERS AND THE BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT

Adrian, John L., and Thomas Wade Green

Journal of Agribusiness, 2001, vol. 19, issue 01, 17

Abstract: Managers of agricultural cooperatives were contacted to determine their knowledge/capabilities and perspectives of the cooperative environment with special emphasis given to the importance of cooperative principles to the operation and success of the business, division of responsibility between management and the board of directors, and business decision making in the areas of financial analysis plus selected scenarios. Managers showed strong adherence to traditional cooperative principles and basic decision areas. Self-assessments were positive and consistent with performance measures. The opportunity exists to improve manager knowledge/capabilities related to cooperative principles, division of responsibility between managers and the board, and financial analysis.
