Análisis crítico de la idea de cooperación: el caso de la empresa cooperativa
Abstract
Based on the philosophical conception asserting that its origin arises from the opposing views of many different categories which cannot be measured against each other, this article analyzes the idea of cooperation. Firstly, the concept of cooperation is analyzed in fields such as biology, ethology, game theory and economics in order to build the core meaning of cooperation itself. Secondly, based on this essential definition, reconstruction of the basic lines of the genesis and development of the cooperative movement and principles is proposed. Finally, the nature of the cooperative model is defined and an interpretation of it is proposed, based on the concept of entrepreneurial cooperative organization, its future and key role in the 21st century.
