Abstract

The authors analyze the tensions in co-operative development by drawing upon the works of the Montréal school of thought on co-operative management, the first contributions of which date to the creation of the Centre for Co-operative management at HEC Montréal in 1975. They suggest that the study of tensions represents a distinctive trait of this school of thought, and that this specificity has global implications for the co-operative movement. The tensions in co-operative development are presented in order of their appearance in the co-operative life cycle and are classified according to their nature. The contribution of this school fills a gap in the study of co-operatives where the diachronic analysis is less developed than the synchronic one. In addition, this allows the authors to show the turning point at which small and large cooperatives diverge. Similarly, the reactions to the tensions are analyzed to offer, in the end, an integrative frame that may be useful to co-operative developers.
