Co-operative and Nonprofit Business Models

 

Cooperative and not-for-profit business structures can offer competitive advantages in many industries and service sectors. Consider credit unions (cooperatives), which have attracted nearly 30% of the retail banking market in the last three decades. Food production & distribution, education, water, electricity, security, products & services... much of the infrastructure supporting individuals, families, business, and everyday life can be achieved without profit motive, displacing faceless & unaccountable corporate interests.
