Self-Organization and Reform Possibility of Agricultural Cooperatives

在本研究开始时，我们考虑了自组织的理论框架，并将其应用于农业合作社的问题。其次，通过对农业合作社适用性的考察，探讨了农业合作社框架下的自组织（或自参照）的应有之义。运用自组织理论对农业合作社的经营进行了实证分析，得出了若干结论。首先，在合作社的金融业务中，我们调查了合作社的用户行为，并指出了合作社未来业务的重点。无论是农业。合作社能够把握社员的各种需求，提供多样化的金融产品。第二，分析了农业投入品在购销中的物流问题，提出了合理化的要求。最后，关于广域联合合作社的发展方向，我们不仅进行了国情调查，还进行了三重县的个案研究。并考察了合作社工作者或社员实现自我参照的可能性。最后，我们指出了目前改组的最重要目标。这应该是真正的改变，以合法的合作社为基础的自我-依赖和自我责任的成员。

At the start of this research, we considered the theoretical framework of self- organization and we applied it to the problem of agricultural cooperatives. Next, by investigating the suitable appliance to agricultural cooperatives, the self-organization (or self- reference) in this framework as it ought to be was pursued. After practically analysing the business of agricultural cooperatives with this self-organization theory, several results were made clear. First, in the financial business of cooperatives, we investigated the user behavior and indicated the key point in their future business. It is whether agri. cooperatives are able to supply diversified financial products by grasping the various needs of members. Second, in their marketing and purchasing business, the logistic problem of agricultural input materials is analysed which is strongly required for rationalization. Last, about the direction of the wide area consolidated cooperatives, we executed not only the national situation research but also the Mie prefectural case study. And the realizing possibility of self-reference by cooperative workers or members were examined. In conclusion, we pointed out the most important objective in the present reorganization. It should be the true change to rightful cooperatives based oneself- dependency and self-responsibility by the members.
