Research On Risk-taking Mechanism Of Farmer Specialized Cooperative

The research on the risk-taking mechanism of Farmer Specialized Cooperative provides a new way of thinking for the theoretical research and practice of cooperatives in China.On the one hand,Cooperatives’ risk-taking mechanism relates to the rights and obligations of members,relates to the members rights to speak,and affects the surplus distribution of co-operatives;on the other hand,Cooperatives’ risk-taking mechanism reflects the organizational characteristics of cooperatives,and affects the cooperative organization values and objectives.Mainly through a number of relationship case studies,to take semi-structured interviews,participatory observation and other research methods;This research collects,organizes and summarizes the related issues of cooperative risk-taking;and analyzes the types of risk of cooperatives,summarizes the strategic arrangement of cooperative cooperatives in response to risks,and presents the current situation of cooperative risk-taking mechanism.These strategies deviate from the cooperative risk-sharing mechanism,show the impact on the essential characteristics of cooperative governance and earnings distribution,and so as to finally analyze the factors that hinder the formation of cooperative risk-taking mechanism.First,according to concept and principles of cooperatives advocated by the Rochdale Equitable Pioneers Society and International Cooperative Alliance,the democratic management and surplus distribution system in cooperatives not only reflects the nature of it,but also shows the intrinsic requirement that the members share the risks.Second,analyze the contents and types of risks,and the responses taken by the cooperatives to these risks.This research introduces the risk of cooperatives in the industrial chain,analyzes the risk types of cooperatives from the perspective of scholars and public management disciplines,and presents the influence of the membership elements and product factors of the cooperatives on the formation of the risk type.Thirdly,cases show the way to solve the cooperative risk;it presents the strategic arrangement of the cooperatives to deal with these risks,so as to analyze the deviation from the risk sharing mechanism of the cooperative risk.Therefore,the stratification of the core members and ordinary members of the cooperatives is more obvious;the cooperative risk-sharing mechanism cannot be formed.Fourthly,this research analyzes the reasons why the Farmer Specialized Cooperative cannot form a risk sharing mechanism at present;namely,asymmetric information,incomplete contract and local embedding,which may lead to the "tragedy of the commons" and "prisoner’s dilemma" etc.In addition,the risk of cooperatives is increasing,and the different level of risk-taking by core members and ordinary members is becoming more and more prominent,which affects the realization of cooperatives’ governance and function,and presents the so-called "false cooperative","empty cooperatives" and "dormant cooperatives" by loads of scholars.As a result,the risk-taking mechanism of cooperatives should be shared by members in theory,but the deviation not only has negative influences on the democratic governance and surplus distribution mechanism of the cooperatives,but also cannot maximize the organizational function which may hardly realize the value and objectives of cooperatives.
