Resumen
Descripción
Which organization model is appropriate for a cooperative enterprise depends on the prerequisites
in its business environment. When conditions are changing, the firm must adapt
itself. The entry of Sweden, Finland, and Austria into the European Union led to radical changes
for agricultural cooperation, especially for Swedish cooperatives since agricultural policy was
not allowed a transitional period. After two years, Swedish cooperatives have still not adapted
their organization model despite poor agricultural profitability. The hindering factors are conservatism
among members and difficult institutional conditions with regard to legislation
and public opinion.
