Abstract: Abstract The purpose of this book is to explain why that highly-paid and experienced executive missed such an obvious point about his own company, and to evaluate the importance of the point he had missed. There is a whole class of business organisation that is owned not by investors, or the public, or a particular entrepreneur, but by those who benefit directly from its activities: end-users or customers, other companies who supply to or are supplied by the business, or its employees. This is, to put it simply, a member-owned business, and it is quite distinct from an investor-owned business.
