Propositions1. An economically successful co-operative today must be successful socially otherwise it will not remain a co-operative
2. The social dimension of a co-operative is a key tool for its business development and competitive advantage
3. Co-operative value added is a mix of social and economic value added
4. Human Capital in a Co-operative is the sum total of its membership and staff human capital (CSCM a critical element)
5. A professional value based management must be committed to managing both aspects of the business

Why co-operative leadership and governance is problematic?
• The problem of the leadership - followership gap (From Iron Law of Oligarchy by Roberto Michels to Enron)
• Scale, technology, speed and globalisation
• Models of co-operative management
![Page 7: Current State of Research into Co-operative Management. Context, and Future Vision Finnish Co-operative Movement One Hundred and Tenth Anniversary Celebrations.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062715/56649db55503460f94aa71fd/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Models of Co-operative Management and Governance
• Charismatic Great Leader Model
• Collective Model
• Civil Service Model
• Co-operative Value Based Model?
![Page 8: Current State of Research into Co-operative Management. Context, and Future Vision Finnish Co-operative Movement One Hundred and Tenth Anniversary Celebrations.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062715/56649db55503460f94aa71fd/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Observations
1. Most research into big co-operatives assumes the Civil Service Model
2. Most research into small employee co-operatives tends to assume the Model of collective decision making.
3. Most management research in co-operatives is focused on how to assert member control or accountability against the threat of managerialism
4. The focus on co-operative organisational development is almost always on structure rather than culture and values
5. Little research conducted on the impact or application of modern management methodologies for co-operative management
![Page 9: Current State of Research into Co-operative Management. Context, and Future Vision Finnish Co-operative Movement One Hundred and Tenth Anniversary Celebrations.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062715/56649db55503460f94aa71fd/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The evolution of management in four broad phases

Co-operative Value Based Management as an additional tool for governance
• Management methodologies can empower membership and employees.

provide an additional criteria by which to evaluate management

Definition of Co-operative Management
Co-operative Management is conducted by men and women responsible for the stewardship of the co-operative community, values and assets.
Co-operative managers provide leadership, policy development options and operational control for the co-operative associations business based upon professional training and co-operative vocation and service.
Co-operative management is that part of the co-operative community professionally engaged to support the whole co-operative membership in the achievement of the co-operative purpose.
