Study On The Efficiency Of Rural Specialized Cooperative Economic Organization

Over the two hundred-year development of agricultural cooperative community in foreign countries has shown that as a form of organization, cooperative community has played an important role in protecting the disadvantaged farmers, increasing farmers' income and invigorating economy in rural areas. Since 1980s, the specialized cooperative economic organizations in our country have begun to take shape with over two-decade development, and have played an important role in promoting the economy in China's rural areas, especially in increasing farmers' income and providing socialized service. Therefore, the government has been vigorously engaged in developing the specialized cooperative economic organizations in rural areas, and has began to undertake the construction of the supportive services with the specialized cooperative economic organizations playing a leading role, thus initiating a brand-new situation in the specialized cooperative economic organizations in rural areas. However, it should be noted that as a whole, the specialized cooperative economic organizations in the rural areas of our country are low in efficiency, which manifests itself in the following aspects: they are small in scale, weak in competitiveness, narrow in its serving range etc., thus adversely affecting the level at which it serves the farmers, the communities and the government. Against the background, it's necessary to find out the elements influencing the development of the specialized cooperative economic organizations in the rural areas of our country, so that the proposals can be put forward of establishing highly efficient specialized cooperative economic organizations in rural areas.The study on the problems of the efficiency of the cooperative community is in the international front of the study in the field. Domestically, rare is the systematic study of the efficiency in the specialized cooperative economic organizations. The study established the systematic analysis and evaluation framework to analyze the specialized cooperative economic organizations in the rural areas of our country, conducting the qualitative analysis on the efficiency of the specialized cooperative economic organizations in the rural areas of our country by adopting the theory of ownership and the theory of principle-agent, and carrying out positive analysis by establishing the evaluative system of the index in the operating efficiency of the specialized cooperative economic organizations in the rural areas and combining the method of gradation-analysis and that of index-evaluation of the organizations, thus the objective results of the level of the operating efficiency in rural specialize cooperation economic organization of our country. Based on this, analyzing the main elements influencing its level of operating efficiency is conducive to enriching the theoretical study of the specialized cooperative economic organizations. The specialized cooperative community is in its initial stage, the operation of the specialized cooperative community has the characteristics of localization, and many people lack understanding of the system of the specialized cooperative community. Based on the qualitative and quantitative analysis on the efficiency level of the specialized cooperative economic organization and its influencing factors, the mode selection and operating system are explored of rural specialize cooperation economic organization, which not only has a strong directing role on the normalization and development of specific the specialized cooperative economic organization, but also can provide reference for scientific decision-making for the government and the departments concerned.Departing from the fact that low operation efficiency affects our country's the specialized cooperative economic organization's fundamental factors; the perspective of the study is original. And from proposing the supposition that the specialized cooperative economic organization in our country has low efficiency, by constructing the index system of the specialized cooperative economic organization, the comprehensive evaluating method is used to conduct positive study and substantiate the hypothesis. In addition, the theoretical framework of the connotation of efficiency-evaluating index system-analysis of influencing elements-systematic innovation in the specialized cooperative economic organization has been constructed, with the studying method being original.The methodology adopted in the study is diverse. Because rural specialize cooperation economic organization is a special form of organization, the aspects of systematic economics were adopted such as the theory of ownership and agency, the method of positive analysis has been used to reflect the problem of efficiency in rural specialize cooperation economic organization; and on-the-sport method, the survey by questionnaire and typical surveys are combined to reflect the developing status quo, operating characteristics and influencing factors of rural specialize cooperation economic organization. In proposing the innovative system, developing mode and policy proposal of the highly-efficient operation of rural specialize cooperation economic organization, the method of comparative analysis has been adopted to compare Chinese agricultural cooperative community with that of the foreign countries. In addition, in order to further study the efficiency of rural specialize cooperation economic organization of our country, the study employed the method of deduction by focusing on the specialized cooperative economic organization in Heilongjiang province.The study began from defining the connotation of rural specialize cooperation economic organization, analyzing the cost and profit facing rural specialize cooperation economic organization. The system of efficiency-evaluating index has been set up, the influencing factors have been analyzed with the efficiency-calculating results as its basis, and then the innovative system, promoting the developing mode and policy proposal has been suggested of the highly-efficient operation of rural specialize cooperation economic organization. The contents have been divided into nine chapters.Chapter one is he introduction. It mainly introduced the background, the objective, the significance and the methodology of the study as well as the possible innovations and shortcomings. And it has a comprehensive discussion about and brief comment on the domestic and foreign literature concerned。Chapter two mainly dealt with the theoretical analysis of the efficiency of the specialized cooperative economic organization. It started from discussing the nature and characters of the cooperative, and made the definition of the specialized cooperative economic organization in rural areas. Through the theoretical analyses of the efficiency, proposed the definition of the efficiency, then analyzed the efficiency features of rural specialize cooperation economic organizationon the base of it. At last summarized and introduced some theories in relation to the efficiency of the specialized cooperative economic organization in rural areas.Chapter three mainly analyzed the revenue and cost of specialized cooperative economic organization in rural areas. Departing from the idea of rural specialize cooperation economic organizationas a form of organization and as a statue of institution, proposed the model of efficiency of it, and analyzed it form the point of the view of revenue and cost. The revenues of it mainly form the two channels: first, the economic revenue as a cooperative organization, second, the functional revenue as a service organization. In analyzing the cost of it stressed from the view of institutional operation cost, at last the comparative analysis has been made between the transaction costs of the two forms of "company+ farmers" and "cooperative economy organization+ farmers" respectively.Chapter four mainly made a comparative analysis between the domestic and foreign farmers' cooperative community from the angle of efficiency, and the developing trend has been reviewed of foreign specialized cooperative community which has efficiency as its basis, thus proposing the measures that can be borrowed by our country.Chapter five mainly analyzed the present developing and operation status of the specialized cooperative economic organization of our country. based on a lot of dates,. It analyzed the operating characteristics, developing status quo and existing questions of the specialized cooperative community in the rural areas.The efficiency level of rural specialize cooperation economic organization has been analyzed from both quantitative and qualitative angles, the evaluating index system of it has been constructed and the efficiency level of it has been calculated by comprehensive evaluation.Chapter six mainly evaluating the efficiency lever of rural specialize cooperation economic organization. First, it proposed the hypothesis that the efficiency lever of rural specialize cooperation economic organization is low, then constructed the evaluating index system of its efficiency lever, and combined with synthetical and evaluation and AHP method evaluating the efficiency lever of the specialized cooperatives economic organization in the rural areas ,.taking Heilongjiang as an example. At last tested the hypothesis and analyzed the outcomes.Chapter seven mainly analyzed the factors that can influent the efficiency of rural specialize cooperation economic organization. It established the theoretical framework affecting the efficiency of rural specialize cooperation economic organization, analyzing the internal as well as the external factors. The external factors decided the low efficiency of rural specialize cooperation economic organization, and the internal ones affected the main cause that result in the individual difference of rural specialize cooperation economic organization.Chapter eight mainly discussed the innovative mechanism and the mode that can raise the efficiency rural specialize cooperation economic organization. It set up the principles to operate rural specialize cooperation economic organization with high efficiency, and explored the establishment of the developing mode and innovative mechanism.Chapter nine mainly try to make some proposes on policy that can promote specialized cooperative economic organization in the rural areas to operate high efficiently. Combined with the situation of our country, the proposals on policy have been put forward on the basis of the study ahead.Chapter ten is main the conclusion and forecast. It made a deep and clear conclusion about the content of the study and envisaged the study trend of rural specialized cooperation economic organization in the new environment.
