As used in this book, the terms self-managed firm and producer cooperative are synonymous with the term democratically managed enterprise because a system composed of firms of this kind realises workplace democracy to the full. Although cooperatives may come in a variety of different organisational models, they have in common one main characteristic: the application of the cardinal rule of democracy dictating that decision powers are to be solely and entirely vested in the members (or partners) of the firm in line with the ‘one head one vote’ criterion. Other organisational characteristics are optional and should be selected with an eye to the need to ensure efficiency – as will be explained further on. This introduction offers a broad outline of the principal organisational characteristics of our cooperative enterprises.","PeriodicalId":311246,"journal":{"name":"Managing the Cooperative Enterprise","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114729500","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In point of fact, the distinction that really matters is that between as) LMFs, i.e. cooperatives that remunerate capital separately from labour and use publicly owned means of production on the one hand and, b) cooperatives which allocate all their revenues (labour and capital incomes) to the partners (specifically, those engaged in production in the period of time concerned from time to time) and do not remunerate capital owners as such. The latter are WMFs, which use privately owned means of production. 1","PeriodicalId":311246,"journal":{"name":"Managing the Cooperative Enterprise","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125114720","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
