Who owns the organisation? In a co-operative, it is the member, the patron. In a non-co-operative it would be a shareholder. What does that mean? Well, if a member owns the organisation, he will have a different objective function than will a shareholder. A shareholder will want a return on his investment. The member will want a return on his investment at home. He or she will want the co-operative to do well, but the primary objective is to enhance his or her socio-economic wellbeing.
