Abstract
This article presents scientific-analytical material relating to the obstacles and possibilities the using of agricultural cooperatives traditional model in current (Russian) conditions. It was revealed the main problems (such as free riding, horizon, portfolio, principal-agent, influence costs problems) that arise in organizations with poorly specified property rights and lead to ineffective functioning of agricultural cooperatives in Russia as a whole and in the Kurgan region in particular. On the basis of theoretical and empirical analysis, and also the statements of cooperative activities participants, some possibilities for overcoming the current situation are specified. The transformation of traditional cooperative organization model into the model of a new (entrepreneurial) type is considered as the main condition for successful development of agricultural cooperation. This new model is characterized by weakening of cooperative principles and introduction of modern financial instruments in agricultural cooperatives’ activities to attract investment and, as a result, to provide the dynamic development of cooperative organizations in present socio-economic and institutional environment.
