State Cooperative Statutes -- Conflict of Cooperative Concept with Efficiency

Terence Centner

Journal of the Northeastern Agricultural Economics Council, 1983, vol. 12, issue 2, 5

Abstract: Cooperative statutory provisions that provide for democratic membership control provide limitations affecting the management of cooperatives. Management provisions concerning membership requirements for directors and officers, amendments to articles of incorporation, and removal of officers may unduly restrict the management of cooperatives and contribute to the poor economic performance of Northeastern cooperatives. Minor statutory changes, or changes of a cooperative's articles or bylaws, may help improve the performance of these business operations.
