Abstract

This paper is an attempt to present selected Polish consumer food cooperatives as the complex adaptive network. Based on the literature review and structured questionnaire, their compliance with consumer cooperative principles and attitude of the members towards these principles were investigated. It is argued that due to their voluntary character based on networking activities they are subject to adjustment processes. These processes, under the umbrella of the democratic governance, are focused on using these principles as adaptive mechanism.
