Summary
This book brings together a number of theories under the umbrella of humanistic governance to develop a persuasive alternative perspective on governance, particularly for democratic organizations such as co-operatives. It examines how we can move beyond a profit-first approach to governance, into a framework that prioritizes human dignity in all aspects of an operation. This book also discusses key issues for different types of cooperatives and how these might be addressed. Finally, it addresses how cooperatives can better cope with dynamic change processes. This book will be of interest to academics working in the areas of stakeholder governance, social solidarity economy, ethical management, and co-operatives.
