“…The very intensity of democratic practices in the cooperative may lead members to develop a dismissive or apathetic attitude towards the more diluted democratic institutions of local, state and national government; furthermore, the failure of a cooperative because of excessive emphasis on ideology over solvency may lead members to becoming cynical or disenchanted with the idea of democracy more generally. Levi and Pellegrin-Rescia (1997) use the concept of economic embeddedness to discuss the connection a cooperative may have with its community, identifying several conditions that can undermine this relation. Cooperatives that are organised in a top-down fashion may function in a paternalistic manner, and come to be seen as failing to serve the community's interests.…”

“…Des forces institutionnelles souvent facilitatrices, mais aussi parfois contraignantes, marquent les choix d'origine de l'entreprise d'économie sociale, puis leur orientation. Ces organisations sont ainsi créées à l'initiative d'individus mais également, et de plus en plus, dans un contexte partenarial institutionnel (d'initiative partenariale) qui qualifie fortement le projet associatif (Levi et Pellegrin--Rescia, 1997). Or, ces rapports de partenariat, comme forces institutionnelles, sont susceptibles de connaître des transformations alors que les conditions dans lesquelles l'activité s'exerce se modifient elles--mêmes.…”

Cette recherche se propose d’explorer le processus de développement de l’entreprise d’économie sociale issue d’un partenariat fondateur. Nous nous intéressons plus particulièrement à la façon dont l’entreprise d’économie sociale opère, à travers ses choix d’orientation et organisationnels, l’équilibre entre ses besoins propres de développement et les besoins spécifiques de son partenaire de fondation. La Caisse d’économie Desjardins de la Culture constitue le terrain d’investigation. Le rôle de cette organisation, issue d’un partenariat avec l’Union des artistes (UDA), est passé de celui de prestataire de services aux membres de l’UDA à celui d’agent de développement du milieu de la culture. En décrivant les étapes et leviers de ce passage, nous nous attachons à comprendre le mécanisme d’autonomisation de l’organisation par rapport à son partenaire d’origine.This paper explores the development process of a social economy enterprise stemming from a founding partnership. We are interested in the way the enterprise operates, through its orientations and organizational choices, the balance between its own needs and the needs of its founding partner. We investigate the case of the Caisse d’économie Desjardins de la Culture. Stemming from a partnership with the Union des artistes (UDA), the role of this organisation has transformed from service provider for the members of the UDA to development agent of the cultural milieu. By describing the stages and levers of this transformation, we are trying to understand the mecanism of autonomisation of the organisation from its founding partners.Esta investigación explora el proceso de desarrollo de la empresa social surgida de un partenariado. Se interesa particularmente por la manera de funcionamiento de la empresa social a través de sus opciones políticas y organizacionales y por el equilibrio entre sus propias necesidades de desarrollo y las necesidades de su socio fundador.

Surgida de un partenariado con la Unión de Artistas (UDA), esta organización ha pasado de ser prestataria de servicios a los miembros de la UDA para convertirse en un agente de desarrollo del medio de la cultura. Al describir las etapas y resortes que posibilitaron este pasaje, el estudio intenta comprender el mecanismo de empoderamiento de la organización frente a sus partenaires de origen

“…The cooperative movement in Indonesia is one of the civil society organizations and is the largest social enterprise that has a large potential in rural development and job creation. Levi and Pellegrin-Rescia (1997) state that cooperatives are the only form of business with a very clear entrepreneurial component in which subordination from economy to social is logical in the organization and determined by law. Unfortunately, the rapid growth of the quantity of cooperatives in Indonesia is not matched by the increasing participation of members.…”
