ABSTRACT
The term cooperative as used by Beicher et al, (1992),
covers a very broad range 1' of organization and activities and it is
difficult, if not impossible to specify a single succinct set of necessary
condition for an organization to be called cooperative. Erdman and
Tinley,1987), argued that one frequently used criterion is to regard as a
cooperative an organization that subscribes to some set of cooperative
principles such as those of the international cooperative alliance. Cooperative
society has been defined severally as a retail organization in which the
consumers are members who provide the capital and share the trading profits in
the form of a dividend on purchase made by each members, the producers join
together to market their products, and share the trading profit. New Lexicon
(1991), defined cooperative society as a voluntary attempt by people to solve
their economic problems though the establishment of a democratically managed
nonprofit business, where each participant has a fair share in the management
and sharing results. A cooperative society is a group of persons who cooperate,
work or act together for example, to buy machines and provide services for all
to share or to produce, sell goods among themselves for mutual benefits or to
save and lend money (Hornby, 2001).
