Summary, etc. This book is about building and managing self-governing people's organisations that will succeed in the rough and tumble of today's competitive world. There are numerous theories about the factors that lead to successful co-operatives. These include outstanding leadership and management; favourable social conditions; the existence of homogeneous groups; and a participatory approach. The author challenges these various explanations as being incomplete and offers a new perspective on what makes co-operation succeed.<br/><br/>Tushaar Shah explores important empirical questions drawing upon cases of success and failure from different regions and types of co-operative enterprise. These range from 'tubewell companies' in north Gujarat and sugar co-operatives in Maharashtra to what is considered the heartland of the dairy and farmers' co-operative movement in India-Kheda district in south Gujarat. Based on these field studies, Professor Shah adduces a set of four over-arching principles which can be used to build robust, self-governing people's organisations. Design, he maintains, is the central determinant of organisational performance while the other three important aspects are 'self-creating', 'self-propagating and 'self-preserving'. These features are the result not of good leadership nor of favourable social conditions but of success in securing and retaining the allegiance of members.<br/><br/>With its emphasis on practical application, this book will be of direct interest to planners, the co-operative movement, NGOs, donor agencies and apex bodies while also attracting the attention of sociologists, economists and those studying co-operation and collective action
