According to James A.F
Stoner, the organization is a tool to achieve the goals. In cooperatives, these
tools consist of three role, there are meetings of members, administrators and
supervisors. The role have a different task but its related to each other. The
meeting of members is the highest authority in charge of establishing
cooperative policies. The management is in charge of managing cooperative
business activities. Supervisors are the authorize part to observe the
implementation of cooperative policies and management of cooperatives.
A side from
organizations, cooperatives need management to achieve their goals. H. Gophar
said that cooperative management is basically explored from three perspectives,
there are organization, process and style. Based on the organization's
perspective, cooperatives are formed from three elements, that isi members,
managers and employees. Based on a process perspective, cooperative management
carries out democracy in decision making. Based on the style point of view,
cooperative management actively places members to manage and control the
cooperative business.
The function of the
organization and management is expected to help cooperatives achieve their
goals. The completeness of organizational tools determines whether cooperative
organizations and management can be held effectively and efficiently. The weak
organization and management of cooperatives will adversely affect the
development of cooperative businesses. Conversely, if the cooperative
organization and management runs effectively and efficiently the impact will be
great on the development of cooperative business. Thus, the organization and
management of cooperatives is the key to the success of cooperative businesses.
