Antonialli (2000) states that cooperatives must avoid isolation of their management process and must monitor the market in which they operate with modern techniques and participatory management. Social networks are tools to facilitate the performance of cooperatives, streamlining business processes, reducing costs and facilitating the interaction of individuals who work inside and outside the organization.…”

“…According to Antonialli (2000), cooperatives have difficulties in competing with private companies due to slowness in decision-making, poor marketing, few innovations, isolation from new organizational forms and lack of professional management.

O interesse econômico está relacionado ao crescimento da cooperativa e dos empreendimentos dos cooperados.…”
