Course Description

What is this strange corporate structure, called the cooperative? How does it work, and how is it different from other companies? And for human resources professionals, how do these differences affect the HR function? This program will provide a practical overview of the legal structure of the cooperative. It will explain the basis of the structure, tax implications, antitrust protections, and human resources implications of the cooperative form of organization.
