The Economic Role and Limitations of Cooperatives: An Investment Cash Flow Derivation

Author

  • Peterson, H. Christopher

Abstract

The economic role and limitations of cooperatives are derived using an approach based on investment cash flows and net present value. Cooperatives are viewed as an option for member investment as well as an option for member patronage. The investment approach yields results similar to the traditional paradigms that focus on patronage. In addition, the approach makes more explicit the impact of member investment on cooperative existence, valuation, performance measurement, and strategy options.
