What you will study

The program will help you to understand the origins, principles and values, strengths and weaknesses of the co-operative business model. You will explore how this business model fits in relation to the sharing economy, and how it offers innovative solutions to solving economic, social and environmental challenges. You will:

• Learn about co-operative law in Australia and some of the legal and regulatory barriers faced by co-operative businesses and recent steps taken to remove those barriers.
• Build an in-depth understanding of social enterprises and new approaches to measure social impact.
• Develop an understanding of organisational and technological innovation in the co-operative sector, such as platform co-operativism, seeking to use digital platforms to distribute rather than extract value from their members.

Each course is designed to provide you with the tools and resources you need to gain a theoretical and practical understanding of how alternative business models operate and how they differ from investor owned business.
