In Brazil, dairy farmers have found it difficult to remain and grow in business. To overcome market and institutional challenges, agents of the dairy production chain have developed different forms of organization and coordination. This study aimed to determine whether dairy farmers who participate in horizontal organizations have greater competitiveness than those who do not. Primary data were collected from 347 dairy farms located in two important milk-producing states in Brazil, namely Paraná and São Paulo. Competitiveness indicators were developed using factor analysis. Fourteen variables were combined into four competitiveness indicators: productive capacity (PC), institutional knowledge (IK), perception of market transactions and incentives (PMTI), and quality of milk transportation. Dairy farmers who participated in horizontal organizations had higher PC, IK, and PMTI scores than non-participants. Efficient horizontal organizations can increase the competitiveness of dairy farms.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":43876,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Co-operative Organization and Management","volume":"10 2","pages":"Article 100183"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"54765685","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}

Based on the results of the analysis using the DEA method, it is concluded that the average performance that can be achieved by SACCOs with existing technology is 65 % of the maximum potential yield. There are 61.3 % of SACCOs which are declared technically inefficient. The factors that influence the level of technical efficiency of Saving and Credit Cooperatives are interest, loan term, manager's age, and type of business. Furthermore, the factors that affect the health of the cooperative based on logistics analysis are the variable frequency of management meetings, age of the cooperative, fixed deposits and average loan.

A single case study involving a large Italian food retailing cooperative was conducted. Interviews with 12 managers and ten external stakeholders were recorded and analyzed with NVivo software. The results were coded based on the taxonomy of barriers proposed by <span>Shilling and Kluge (2009)</span>. A total of 153 pieces of evidence emerged, subtending OL-related barriers to the integration of sustainability at business level. Most of these barriers prevented the sustainability-related initiatives from being fully integrated and/or institutionalized, operating at the level of groups or of the entire organization. To stimulate the effective integration and institutionalization of sustainability in the cooperative’s business strategy, the implementation of adequate organizational and managerial instruments emerges as strategic. Effective communication, measurement tools of sustainability performance, and improvement of staff skills represent opportunities to overcome the identified barriers. As links with customers and communities, cooperative members also play a key role in this perspective.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":43876,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Co-operative Organization and Management","volume":"10 2","pages":"Article 100182"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"54765642","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}
