Political economic dimension of cooperative organization in Trujillo State, an alternative for equitable exchange of wealth

Abstract

I do understand that cooperatives are going after to be an alternative for goods scarcity and for a collective proposal of the socioeconomic, supportive, democratic and wealth equitable distribution welfare, among those who execute the processes. This essay expects to analyze the political-economic situation of the Trujillo State Cooperatives as an alternative for equitable exchange of wealth. The descriptive field study was made about a population of 140 active cooperatives in the municipalities of Boconó, Urdaneta, Miranda, Motatán and Escuque. All of them registered in the “Superintendencia Nacional de Cooperativas (SUNACOOP)” –National Superintendence of Cooperatives- in the 2012. It applied 46 multiple selection questions which they were validated for the experts and their estimated reliability with an rtt=0.9064 of the Cronbach's alpha consistency. Politically, these cooperatives are ineffective organizations to dissuade and/or eliminate political, illegitimate and undesirable actions. The Administrative management does not generate the adequate atmosphere to preserve the order and welfare of its members. Economically, they are small businesses with no plans or business ideas. They partially accomplish production goals which are hardly competitive without a financial autonomy, high delay in payment, hiring salaried people and without an equitable exchange of wealth.
