Формирование модели жизненного цикла сельскохозяйственных потребительских кооперативов

Abstract

The modern development of agribusiness is characterized by the fact that agricultural producers actively interact in the course of their activities. The deepening of relations between economic entities requires increased coordination of joint activities and leads to the need for the formation of cooperative entities, the effectiveness of which is largely due to the choice of a particular development strategy. The article considers the author’s model of the life cycle of an agricultural consumer cooperative, which includes five main stages: conception (embryonic stage), design, development, maturity, stagnation, as well as an intermediate stage – restructuring. A system of criteria is proposed that characterize each stage of the life cycle of an agricultural cooperative and allow determining the level of development of cooperative relations at the moment for the development of strategic decisions for the future. Options for implementing a growth strategy, product or market development, as well as a reduction (reversal) strategy are considered.
