Where BUS-3300 counts

Counts toward 3 more as one option among several, not as a course you must take:

  • BUS 4-YEAR BBA Concentration Stream
  • IDS 3-YEAR BA IN INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT STUDIES
  • IDS 4-YEAR BA IN INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT STUDIES

Read from the departments' own calendar pages, where 50 of 208 programs are only partly machine-readable, so treat these as a minimum rather than the full list. Confirm with an academic advisor.

Description

This course is an introduction to the unique challenges involved in the management of co-operative organizations. It builds students' appreciation of co-operatives as a viable model of economic development. The course focuses on the methods by which mainstream governance, accounting, personnel, and marketing practices can be adapted to fit the co-operative model. A combination of lectures, readings, guest speakers, case studies and discussions help students develop an understanding of co-operative principles and values and the history of co-operatives. Students learn about Manitoba's co-operatives, as well as national and international co-operative networks.
