Cooperative social organizations have existed throughout history, in addition to current efforts in business and management. Jerome Warren is both a scholar and practitioner of cooperatives. In his recent article published in This View of Life, he uses "Tinbergen's Four Questions" to analyze Italy's historical tradition of self-organized services. As a practitioner, he is the editor of a forthcoming Handbook of Cooperative Economics and Management.
This seminar was organized as a discussion of Jerome's TVOL article and an exploration of collaborative potential among current practitioners. Members of the audience were encouraged to read his article beforehand.
