Co-operative Management

Co-operative management refers to the process of overseeing and guiding co-operatives—businesses owned and operated by their members for mutual benefit. This approach emphasizes democratic decision-making, where each member has a say, typically one vote, regardless of their capital investment. Co-operative management focuses on collaboration, transparency, and a commitment to shared values like community support and social responsibility. Managers in co-operatives work to align the interests of members, optimize resources, and achieve collective goals, ensuring that the benefits are distributed fairly among all participants rather than being driven solely by profit motives.
