Abstract

Cooperatives are expected to contribute to society's welfare. However, in West Java, cooperatives have not been able to optimise their potential due to lack of collaborative cooperation with other stakeholders within the scope of inclusive business. To realise the cooperative's potential, KUKM Ecobiz was introduced as an inclusive business platform to increase multi-stakeholder collaboration. This study explores the readiness of cooperatives in West Java to join an inclusive business platform, KUKM Ecobiz, by identifying the West Java cooperatives' infrastructures and measuring their willingness to collaborate with other parties through FGD, observation, LFA and survey. The result shows that readiness to join the inclusive business platform is still low, although, based on the survey results; the willingness of West Java cooperatives to collaborate is high. However, the West Java cooperatives' infrastructure is still significantly different and diverse among regions, and their interaction is still low because some factors like the mastery of technology, education, and facilities and the capability of human resources are still limited.
