THE MAIN EFFECTS OF GREEN HARVESTING ON THE SICILIAN WINE COOPERATIVES
2013
In Sicily in the 2010-2012 period green harvesting is the most successful of the 9 measures provided by the Italian National Support Programme (NSP) for wine. Its main goal is to contribute to restoring the balance between supply and demand by destructing or removing grape bunches in their immature stage in order to prevent market crises. The paper firstly presents the main results of a "three-year" application of Green Harvesting measure to the Sicilian wine sector. Firstly the implementation of Green Harvesting Measure was examined at EU, national and regional level through the analysis of the available statistical data; at a later stage its effects on the Sicilian wine sector were invest…
Principales problemas de internacionalización de las cooperativas agroalimentarias españolas
2013
Food and agricultural cooperatives, as well as other food companies must consider internationalization as essential for them for their survival; and although there are governmental and private agencies that can support them in this challenge, it is necessary to deeply study the problems that cooperatives face in international markets. Using a methodology that combines theoretical review with qualitative research, the main problems from a sample of internationalized Spanish cooperatives are identified and classified by differentiating the internal from the external ones so as in the near future the necessary measures to minimize or avoid them could be taken by managers and support agencies. …

Management accounting: effect on key factors of competitive success in the cooperative sector
2020
Las cooperativas cobran cada vez más relevancia por su participación en el mercado y para ser competitivas, sus directivos deben sortear las exigencias de entornos dinámicos, tomando decisiones a partir de información extensa, ambigua y cambiante. Por otro lado, se entiende a la contabilidad de gestión como la herramienta que apoya a la gerencia en este proceso, sin embargo, en la literatura no existe claridad sobre su contribución a la competitividad. En consecuencia, el objetivo es explicar la incidencia de las dimensiones de la contabilidad de gestión en los factores clave del éxito competitivo de las cooperativas multiactivas. Para ello, se desarrolla una investigación de enfoque cuanti…

Las bodegas cooperativas y la comercialización del vino en España durante el siglo XX
2020
Resumen Las bodegas cooperativas surgieron con un doble objetivo: la elaboracion en comun del vino, para reducir los costes de produccion y aumentar la calidad del producto; y la venta en comun del vino, con una reduccion de los intermediarios y una mejora de la posicion de los viticultores en el proceso de comercializacion. Ambos objetivos tenian que suponer una mayor remuneracion del producto y, en consecuencia, del ingreso de los productores, que en el sector vitivinicola eran fundamentalmente pequenos agricultores familiares, enfrentados a un contexto de caida tendencial de los precios del vino. En este articulo realizamos una primera aproximacion al papel de las bodegas cooperativas en…
Reencuadramiento administrativo de socios trabajadores de cooperativas: luces y sombras
2022
En los últimos años, se han cuestionado determinados tipos de cooperativas que aprovecharían las ventajas que les ofrece su especial marco normativo para defraudar las expectativas jurídicas y económicas de las personas que trabajan en ellas y del sistema de Seguridad Social. Es probable que los procedimientos administrativos al respecto no se ajusten a las exigencias de la legislación cooperativa y, sobre todo, han generado bastante inseguridad jurídica. En este contexto, este trabajo pretende aportar alguna reflexión de utilidad para la reforma normativa que se encuentra en marcha.
The social innovation of social cooperatives operating on confiscated mafia properties: support factors and critical issues.
2015
In recent years, the theme of Social Innovation (SI) has gained significant importance both in academic studies and in policy. In the many definitions of SI proposed by scholars the aspect of change seems to be central. Making social innovation means to find and to provide new solutions to the social needs of individuals and communities; to develop and to introduce changes in the relationships between individuals and institutions; and again, to redefine the priorities of the economic and social development. In this paper we focus on a particular form of SI realized by social cooperatives operating in Italy on assets confiscated from the mafia. Thanks to a law of popular initiative these goo…
