INTERNATIONAL CO-OPERATIVE ALLIANCE
International Co-operatives Research Conference
Values and Adding Value in a Global Context
13-17th of May 1998 in Cork, Ireland
CALL FOR PAPERS
Organised with the assistance of Centre for Co-operative Studies,
University of Cork.
As we near the end of the current millenium, it is becoming
increasingly clear that competition is becoming more and more intense,
and with deregulation and the changing role of governments, the
financial pressures on many co-ops has become extreme, and yet there
are numerous examples where co-ops seem to have reinvented themselves -
developing value based practices and adding economic value.
Researchers can play a constructive role analysing such developments
both theoretically and practically, and help create a robust dynamic
independent co-operative movement in the years to come. This year we
are also inviting papers for a special workshop on Education, Training
and Development: "Making a difference through value-based training" -
reflections and research on content and methodology"; this workship
will be organised in conjunction with the HRD Committee of the ICA.
The conference will be held at the University of Cork, in Ireland.
Cork is a charming city of contrasts, on the southern coast of Ireland.
It is accessible by air, train via Dublin, or by Ferry from Swansea,
Roscoff or Le Havre.
Abstracts by 31st January '98; Papers by 31st of April '98
