Into the book
Unlike social enterprises or village enterprises, which are certified organizations, cooperatives operate on the principle of self-reliance.
That comes with its own set of practical difficulties.
However, it has the advantage of being able to run it in a fun and autonomous way.
It can break free from social stereotypes and create new values, and it can also break away from existing ways of working and create innovative operating principles.
Unlike general companies that only aim to make money, it is an organization that aims to realize social values.
--- p.16
Today, cooperatives emerged as a business model that responded to the needs of people who came together voluntarily.
It is a conscious choice out of necessity rather than an instinctive choice.
But if, as Samuel Bowles and Herbert Gintis argued, humans are a cooperative species, then cooperatives are the most natural and efficient business model for people.
Only then can we continue to survive.
--- p.93
Cooperatives can gain recognition for their cooperative identity locally, nationally, and globally through solidarity organizations, thereby increasing their awareness and building trust.
However, since the solidarity organization does not directly assist the activities or business of the unit cooperative, it is necessary to create another cooperative relationship to expand business performance.
In other words, in the case of consumer cooperatives, economic cooperative relationships such as logistics integration organizations or financial organizations are very important in terms of cooperative business.
--- p.181
Digital platform cooperatives are a completely different type of cooperative than traditional cooperatives.
Traditional cooperatives are classified into consumer, producer, worker, and multi-stakeholder cooperatives depending on who the members, who are the sovereign members of the cooperative, are.
However, digital platform cooperatives vary depending on the labor patterns and industries of the participants.
--- p.241
Although cooperatives are essentially market-based, for-profit businesses, they follow values and principles that set them apart from other organizations.
Cooperatives are based on the values of 'self-help, self-responsibility, democracy, equality, fairness, and solidarity,' and cooperative members believe in 'ethical values of honesty, openness, social responsibility, and consideration for others.'
That is, cooperative members maintain honesty and transparency in their business operations and practice ethical values of social responsibility and consideration for others in their community relations.

Publisher's Review
This book reorganizes the research findings of numerous scholars and researchers on the social economy and cooperatives, along with the author's lecture notes, along with his own interpretations. However, it is not a specialized book containing research results on cooperatives.
This is useful information for those who are curious about what a cooperative is, those who want to join a cooperative but need guidance, and those who have had many questions or problems while participating in cooperative activities.
Although it contains somewhat difficult concepts and theories, I believe it will be a valuable resource for practical application in the field.
If you accept this offer, why not start a cooperative with this book?
