Cooperative enterprises are distinct from other forms of business enterprises. While all the other forms of business enterprises have profit as the motive, cooperative enterprises are service oriented. They are basically formed to render services to their members and protect them from being exploited by producers, sellers, and middlemen. Cooperatives are voluntary associations of persons formed for protecting and promoting the interests of members. They are operated in a democratic manner with a service focus. This course has been developed with input from experts and practitioners from the social sector and cooperative enterprises. The course focuses mainly on the cooperative enterprise and its management for sustainability, leadership, and the unique nature of a cooperative structure. It is designed for senior managers and directors who have the authority and personal inspiration to translate organisational strategy into effective performance. In addition, there is the opportunity to focus on specific areas related to cooperative learning and financial management. This is achieved through dedicated modules that focus on factors that distinguish managing in cooperative enterprises from others, and on the implementation of cooperative values and principles.
