The definition of a co-operative is an organisation with the majority ownership in the hands of its customers, suppliers or employees. This book identifies factors that are associated with successful co-operatives. It will assist those promoting group enterprise in selecting situations where the co-operative has a high chance of success and in advising, assisting or managing existing groups. Initially the study focussed on groups in Orissa State, India, however the case studies include co-operatives from Bangladesh, Nepal and other areas of India. The original study on which the findings of the book are based was funded by the UK DFID and the Ford Foundation (India).
