Examining Solutions for Raising the Required Cash for Cooperation Sector (Case Study: Golestan Province)

This study was performed to identify solutions for raising the required cash for cooperation sector of Golestan province in 2008. Statistical population of this study consisted of 313 individuals including all local experts and managers in active and semi active cooperatives. The study was carried out by surveying method and its data collection method was a combination of field and documentary methods. The required data was gathered using a questionnaire (tailor-made by the researcher) and were described and analyzed by using available descriptive statistics techniques (drawing uni-dimensional and bi-dimensional frequency distribution tables). Lack of proper consideration for team work culture, not utilizing the experience of innovator & entrepreneur individuals and lack of coordination between the laws & regulations of the cooperation sectors with that of the other sectors are among the major findings of this study. In light of the study's results, it is recommended for the Province's General Office of Cooperation to promote & establish large cooperatives, unions, chamber of cooperation and to organize training courses to introduce modern accounting methods.
