Economics 394CI - Econ of Cooperative Entrprs

Students will be asked to retrospectively analyze their experiences as workers and consumers, evaluating the impact of organizational forms and industry structure. How do cooperative enterprises (including those on campus such as the People's Market, Earthfoods, and Campus Design and Copy) differ from other enterprises? Students will also be asked to explicitly bring material they have learned in other classes to bear on these issues. The final project requires students to work in small teams to develop a business plan for a cooperative enterprise that builds upon their own interests and expertise. Satisfies the Integrative Experience requirement for BA-Econ majors.
