This open access edited book brings together a number of theories under the umbrella of humanistic governance to develop a persuasive alternative perspective on governance, particularly for democratic organisations such as co-operatives. It examines how we can move beyond a profit-first approach to governance, into a framework that prioritises human dignity in all aspects of an operation. This book also discusses key issues for different types of cooperatives and how these might be addressed. And, finally, it addresses how cooperatives can better cope with dynamic change processes. This book will be of interest for academics working in the areas of stakeholder governance, social solidarity economy, ethical management and co-operatives.

“Today, it is impossible to generate trust, reputation or stakeholder commitment without an authentic and coherent purpose.

If you are looking for the cutting edge of academic research, this is your go-to resource.” —Claudine Gartenberg, Assistant Professor at Wharton, University of Pennsylvania, USA “This book is the work of one of the pioneers in advocating a deep sense of mission in businesses: the result of over 20 years of consulting with companies across countries and industries, and academic study that has been tirelessly researched” —Alberto Ribera, Senior Lecturer and Director of Executive Coaching, IESE Business School, Spain A higher purpose is not simply about profit.
