Resumen
Este estudio de 111 cooperativas de trabajadores registradas como clientes en la Small Enterprise Development Agency representa una investigación de la contribución del apoyo del gobierno al rendimiento empresarial y las operaciones de estas entidades. Se evaluó un grupo relativamente exitoso versus las que no tuvieron éxito, para determinar si había alguna diferencia en el apoyo que recibieron los grupos concernidos. Además, se evaluaron el rendimiento, las operaciones y la gestión de las cooperativas apoyadas versus las que no lo fueron, para determinar si la ayuda había hecho una diferencia. Los resultados revelan un efecto mínimo en las operaciones y el rendimiento de las cooperativas. Se hacen recomendaciones para el desarrollo futuro.Citas
