Scheduling cooperative postmerger decisions within a framework of uncertaintyThompson, Stanley Robert 27 May 1970 (has links)
A major problem confronting farmer cooperatives merging
for the first time is the lack of valuable experience that a prior
merger would have provided. This lack of experience results in
a decision making environment of imperfect knowledge, both of
the necessary postmerger activities to be performed and the timing
of their performance. Thus, it was the purpose of this study to
provide inexperienced cooperatives with a guide for scheduling uncertain
postmerger decisions and activities. Such a guide will
enable more rational postmerger decision making and more effective
reorganization of merging businesses.
The additional information was provided primarily from the
historical records of an actual dairy cooperative case merger to
which a technique known as PERT (Program Evaluation and Review
Technique) was applied to develop a prescriptive model of the postmerger activities and their scheduling for possible use in
similar subsequent mergers. The major benefits from using
a case study approach was pedagogical in the hope that the results
would be more readily adopted in practical use than if a purely
theoretical design were used. Furthermore, the results of the
study are based on the supposition that the synergistic benefits
are greatest when the length of the postmerger decision period is
minimized.
Uncertainty is alleviated through planning and PERT is a
planning tool that can be used to minimize project completion time.
However, by applying PERT to historical data much can be learned
from the experience of a previous merger. The results of applying
PERT to a posteriori case study data provided a prescriptive guide
for scheduling postmerger decisions and activities. More specifically,
PERT determined the key performance areas of marketing
and personnel to be of critical significance following the decision to
merge. These areas were determined to be critical with respect
to their constituent activity completion times; that is, the sequential
activity path determined to be the longest occurred within the marketing
and personnel areas. Thus, the expected completion times
of the activities within these areas must not be prolonged in order
that the merger may be completed on schedule.
As determined by PERT, all other key performance areas in the case merger were not likely to become bottleneck areas during
the postmerger decision period; basically their integration
responsibility was one of converting the premerger procedures
of the "acquired" cooperatives to that of the acquiring cooperative.
Merging cooperatives can realize substantial savings from
adapting the methods and findings of this study to their particular
situation. Such a course of action will enable a more rapid completion
of the postmerger decisions and activities and hasten the
realization of the potential synergistic benefits. / Graduation date: 1971

Challenges facing LED Agricultural cooperative in the Greater Tzaneen Municipality : a case study of Nkomamonta Primary Agricultural Cooperative in LimpopoGala, Xoliswa Masingita Hlubelihle January 2013 (has links)
Thesis (M.Dev.) --University of Limpopo, 2013 / Agricultural cooperatives have been widely promoted as a vehicle for smallholder agricultural development in South Africa. As a result, agricultural co-operative registrations in South Africa are increasing. However, research suggests that South African co-operatives have generally not been effective, successful and functional. This study has investigated the challenges facing agricultural cooperatives in the Greater Tzaneen Municipality. It is expected that identification of these elements may enable institutions that offer support to cooperatives make better decisions to improve primary agricultural cooperatives support. Understanding of these elements could inform the efforts for members of cooperatives to achieve their set objectives and thus improve agriculture cooperative, employability, functionality and profitability. A case study of the Nkomamonta Agricultural Primary Cooperative in the Greater Tzaneen Municipalities is used. It is composed of fifteen agricultural cooperative which were purposively selected for the study because they were nearby, they are a pilot agricultural cooperative in the municipality and which are also not functioning as expected. The sample also included the purposively selected members, customers of these agricultural cooperative, workers, Greater Tzaneen Municipality, Local SEDA and LIBSA to explore the differences and provide insight to the knowledge, opinions and challenges that are facing agricultural cooperatives. One-on-one interviews were carried out with co-operative members as well as focus group discussions with customers, members of the cooperatives, workers, the Municipal officials, SEDA and LIBSA. A framework for analysing the challenges agricultural cooperatives with reference to the Nkomamonta cooperative case study was developed using literature of objectives of agricultural cooperatives, challenges which were identified by other researchers and success factors of smallholder agriculture.
According to this study, farmers’ activities are hampered by a number of constraints. Production capability of the fifteen primary cooperatives is hampered by resource constraints such as lack of access to land (in one cooperative), machinery and equipment, finances and information relevant to production. Marketing, transportation, poor infrastructure and the elderly age of some cooperative members and issues related to free-rider syndrome were part of the problems that were identified. Low capability of some of the fifteen cooperatives to mobilise resources, use the limited resources available and low capability to manage institutional arrangements rendered the cooperatives ineffective in achieving their set objectives.
The study recommends strategies for ensuring that the challenges facing agricultural cooperatives are minimised to better their services in the community. These include strategies for addressing internal and external issues affecting the cooperatives. Direct intervention from government is recommended to improve production through revising land allocation systems which made Kulani Agricultural Cooperative not to have land for growing crops. Jerry Jeff and Nwa Rex went out of action for eight months due to renovation of neighbourhood inorganic farms by the Department of Agriculture. Another strategy would entail improving extension services and follow up and strict monitoring of effective use of government resources provided to farmers. Responding and action taking when disaster has struck the agricultural cooperative by Government is also a plausible strategy. Access and training to relevant technologies to improve the processing and packaging capabilities of cooperatives should improve. Marketing and management activities should be supported through provision of improved infrastructure and relevant training. Farmers themselves should consider assisting one another especially regarding land issues as it was discovered that 67 hectares lay unutilised while the farmer next door needed land. Farmers should also engage in value added activities, and improve marketing programs and cost-effective distribution mechanisms.
