Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New Generation Cooperative (NGC) has been a popular form of farmer-owned enterprise widely adopted by producers in the United States, especially in North Dakota and Minnesota. The adoption rate of this organizational form has been comparatively slow in the province of Manitoba, which is geographically adjacent to these two states. The objective of this thesis is to ascertain which factors affect Manitoba producers' willingness-to-invest and willingness-to-commit to NGCs, as well as potential monetary investment in NGCs. Finally, whether or not these decisions are affected by producer farm type is determined. Data collected from surveying Manitoba producers are analyzed using ordered logit to examine the producers' willingness-to-invest and willingness-to-commit, and tobit to examine the producers' potential monetary investment in NGCs. Further statistical analysis is shown through producer profiles, odds ratios and marginal effects. Positive and significant associations are found between a producer's self-assessed knowledge about NGCs, having been approached, farm size, education level and their willingness-to-invest, while there is a negative association with age. Self-assessed knowledge level and contracted commodities have positive and significant associations with willingness-to-commit. Finally, self-assessed knowledge level, having been approached, farm size, net cash income, minimum rate of return required, age, and education level have positive and significant associations with potential monetary investment, while production of commodities under contract and risk-aversion levels have negative associations with potential monetary investment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Published in 2004. The market economy has changed profoundly over the past two centuries. In the nineteenth century, business enterprises were largely single-product ventures, managed directly by the owners and rooted within national economies. In the twentieth century, firms employed managers who were not owners. Firms also evolved into multiproduct, multiunit entities that could employ thousands of workers. In the twenty-first century, many firms operate on a global scale, taking advantage of free trade policies and rapidly evolving computer and telecommunications technologies. Given this potential, it is crucial that producers, consumers, economic developers, and researchers realize how co-ops can promote local economic and community development. Hence, this book includes the perceptions of experts on a variety of cooperative issues, including the challenges involved in starting a co-op and in understanding its impact on surrounding communities. This book can be especially useful because it provides the theoretical foundations and practical applications of cooperative behavior.
