Chapter 5 in The Performance of Labour-Managed Firms, 1982, pp 99-121 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The aim of this chapter — by a non-economist — is to look at certain aspects of the economic performance of French cooperatives and seek to assess the utility of formal economic models of self-management in understanding these data. The first section briefly outlines aspects of the history and constitution of French co-operatives and seeks to draw from this a number of general elements of ‘motivation’. Subsequent sections look at the scale and usage of funds; the nature of production and organisation; rewards to labour; and more dynamic aspects of performance, making comparisons with French industry generally and between co-operatives.
