The Italian Cooperative Sector is amongst the largest in the world comprising over 60,000 cooperatives from all sectors of the economy directly employing 1.3 million people. Cooperatives created close to 30 percent of new jobs in Italy between 2001 and 2011 demonstrating that democratic cooperative enterprises can successfully operate in a market economy combining economic success and social responsibility. These offer a viable alternative to profit maximising enterprises and an opportunity to create a more pluralist and democratic market economy. The Growth of Italian Cooperatives: Innovation, Resilience and Social Responsibility comprehensively explains how the Italian cooperative sector has managed to compete successfully in the global economy and to grow during the global financial crisis. This book will comprehensively explain how the Italian cooperative movement has managed to grow into a large successful network of cooperatives. It will examine the legislative framework and their unique business model that allows it to compete in the market as part of a network that includes central cooperative associations, financial and economic consortia, and financial companies. It will explore cooperative entrepreneurship through a discussion of the formation of cooperative groups, start-ups, worker-buyouts and the promotion of entirely new sectors such as the social services sector. Finally, The Growth of Italian Cooperatives examines how cooperatives have managed the GFC and how their behavior differs from private enterprises. It will also analyze the extent to which cooperatives compete while still uphold the key cooperative principles and fulfil their social responsibility. This book is an interdisciplinary study of cooperative development and is designed to inform members of the academic community, government, public policy makers and cooperative managers that are primarily interested in economic democracy, economics of the cooperative enterprise, cooperative networks and economic development, cooperative legislation, democratic governance, job creation programs, politics of inclusion and how wealth can be more equitably distributed.
Bachelor Thesis from the year 2013 in the subject Communications - Public Relations, Advertising, Marketing, Social Media, grade: Uppe Credit, , course: Economic Management, language: English, abstract: There are different views of scholars on the word cooperative. Cooperative is layman’s view means coming and working together. But in scope, Cooperative is wider than coming together of group of people. (S.Owojuyigbe) Cooperative is an organization of person usually of limited means who have voluntarily come together democratically give solution to their economic and social problems. (Mr Paul Anawo) Cooperative is an association of person who have voluntarily join together to achieve a common and through the formation of a democratically controlled organization. Making equitable contribution to the capital required and accepting a fair share risk and benefit of the undertaking in which members are actively participate. On the other hands Cooperative society cannot exist without members, this shows that members determine the existence of any cooperative society and cooperative to set members from nook and crannies of its area of existence there is need to engage in some activities aimed at attracting people into the organization hence the need for strategies for the promotion of cooperative awareness among members of the public. Cooperative awareness is the process of making cooperative widely known through public notice as result of announcement, advertising or other measures leaflets, films etc intended to attract public notice and due to the fact that cooperative cannot be organized in secret among a few people, within in a family or an exclusive club. The Cooperative principle of open membership is the free access for every body who want to take part in the society. No one is prevented to be a member. If he\she is of good character in the community. All interested human beings are admitted as a member as much as they are able to use the Cooperative Services should be allowed to become member through a publicity campaign.
In this book, we present a hypothesis that humans may be on the threshold of a new historical stage, one characterized by cooperation, democracy, the equitable distribution of resources, and a sustainable relationship with nature. We can act strategically on a range of activities to become a more cooperative society.
This book examines the opportunities opened up for financial cooperatives by the recent financial crisis, and explores the role of these institutions in promoting and sustaining local development. The global financial crisis has not only shown the limits of the mainstream theory of markets and rational expectations, but has also generated a great deal of disillusionment with the banking system and underlined the importance of a healthy society for the welfare of the individual. Consequently, new and innovative ways of providing finance are needed, especially for strengthening the development of local societies.

The book outlines how cooperatives can be used as a tool for development and reconciliation in post-conflict contexts. This book also examines the successes and challenges for emerging and existing cooperatives in Africa, while delivering both practical lessons and insights into the theory. It presents completely new materials on the cooperative movement, against a backdrop of increasing global recognition of the roles of cooperatives and collective action in socio-economic development. Readers are invited to consider how, as an economic model that seeks to advance member collective interests, cooperatives are invaluable tools for human, economic and social development. Social and human geographers find this a remarkably impactful contribution to the literature surrounding cooperatives in Africa and cooperative theory in general. Policy experts and students also find the research informative and insightful.
