Cooperative? Investor-owned? A tale of two organisational forms

Abstract: The age-old contest between cooperative (supplier-owned) and investor-owned organisational forms rolls on in New Zealand and elsewhere. Typically the debate assembles pros and cons of each form, and then usually reaches the conclusion that the best test is the survival of each form in competitive industries. But many industries have the two forms of organisation existing side by- side, with the prevalence of each changing over time in response to technological, economic and social change. Lewis Evans re-examines this issue in the context of the New Zealand meat processing industry.
