Abstract: Agricultural cooperatives have undergone significant consolidation in recent years. Identifying firms with a potential to improve performance via merging requires an examination of financial performance of those firms relative to firms of similar and larger sizes. This study develops a set of financial performance measures relative to firm size to identify cooperatives with the greatest potential to improve performance from merging. The suggested approach is applied in a case study for two pilot groups of Kansas cooperatives slated as merger candidates. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons. Inc.
