Cooperative aims to make social and economic conditions of its members better than before joining the cooperative.
From understanding the above can be described as follows:

According
Act No. 25 of 1992 concerning Cooperatives, Cooperative sense is a business entity consisting of a cooperative or a legal entity with a base on the principle of cooperative activities as well as a popular economic movement based on the principle of the family.
As an economic movement of people, so cooperative must berorentasi on people's interests, which means that in any cooperative activities and efforts should always prioritize the people's favor and cooperatives should be able to function as a bulwark of the global economic forces that tend to shut down small-and medium-sized businesses. To be able to compete in the global economy, the cooperatives have grown strongly and managed by professional management. Cooperation in business management, collection of ideas and capital are members of the cooperative spirit of power.
Cooperatives as a business entity
cooperatives as a business entity owned and utilized by the members, in affirm in Law No. 25 of 1992. Limitation of cooperatives in this legislation has more meaning than the strict and clear the old restrictions, the Law No.12 year 1967, which allows the creation of double thinking about cooperatives. Law number 25 in 1992 to accommodate changes in the level of the arranged instrumentals like "Manager" or managers in the organization and management of cooperative efforts
Cooperatives like any other business entities have the flexibility of motion in running the business for not violate statutory provisions and existing normative idielogi. Business is a rational process which finally culminated in the creation of profit (profit), the accumulated profits are used to serve kebutuhana members.
The above discussion shows can be viewed as a cooperative unit (micro dimension) and the national economic system (macro dimension). In micro dimensions, the cooperative has the obligation and rights equal to other economic actors. In macro dimensions, the cooperative is faham or idielogi should be role models for national economic actors. Understanding of the two was able to avoid the erroneous thinking of the concept of "cooperation as the cornerstone of the economy". Dimensional micro consequences, as a cooperative economic organizations have the need to handle business on the principle of efficiency, effectiveness and productivity. Only with the cooperative still alive and able to develop themselves through the accumulation of wealth (asets) as a prerequisite to provide better service to members. Especially in the utilization of production factors that limited supplies. In this context, cooperation has many similarities with other business entities. In harmony with the purpose of the cooperative, the principles of efficiency and effectiveness to achieve high productivity must be combined with optimization services to businesses and the prosperity of the members.
Cooperatives as a business entity, making it free to perform and carry out all forms of business in order to gain profit, as long as these cooperative activities in accordance with the rules and limitations of cooperatives as legal entities that have been stipulated in the Act. Assessing the cooperative as a business entity and non-governmental organizations is to obtain a clear picture of the human position in the constellation of co-operative system. Cooperative placing factor "human" as an important element in organizational systems. Human beings are members of the central development of critical plays in the process of increasing prosperity, but it is people who will be factors can trigger cooperative weakness when setting rights and obligations as well as in cooperative dimokrasi unenforceable. Necessary maturity and act and think when we are in a very large community with a variety of outlook and purpose. For that one key to the success of cooperatives is when all members can appreciate the opinions of others and then aligning the vision and mission together.
Cooperative Management
Cooperative management task is to collect, coordinate and develop the potential that exists for the members so that potential into a force for improving the living conditions of their own through a process of "value added". This can be done if the resources can be managed efficiently and full creative (innovative) and balanced by a strong leadership abilities.
Cooperative management has the task of raising the potential and the motives that are available is by way of understanding the objective conditions of the members of the same way as any other human being. The management is required to always think one step ahead in benefits than competitors that only members or prospective members were moved to choose the cooperative as an alternative to the more rational in economic transactions.
A formula benefit for everyone it will differ depending on the view of the value of the benefits of life itself. Cooperative motive for some people is to obtain economic value-added such as, to increased income or increase the wealth (assets) business. But for some people to become members of the cooperative was not because of the encouragement of material or financial reasons but for purely moral satisfaction ideal course or other reasons.
To maintain the momentum of business growth and development of cooperatives in general, the management should strive to remain cooperative a profitable alternative, in another sense cooperative management should be able to maintain benefits (benefits) cooperatives greater than the benefits provided by non-cooperative. Or cooperatives must always develop a competitive and comparative advantages in developing management systems.
Device cooperative organizations as stipulated in Article 21 of Law of Cooperative No. 25 of 1992 consisted of:
(a) meeting of members.
(b) board, and.
(c) supervisor.
The three co-operatives in the organization has the task of developing cooperation to form a unified management system. To go in that direction is required commitment of these elements of work system agreed.
Members of the Meeting of the members are members of the collectivity's voice is the owner of the organization and also the highest power-holders. And ideas generated in the basic policy of this forum. Constitutions and bylaws, budget revenues and expenditures, the main points of the program and basic provisions are made based on consensus of members, who then carried out by administrators or managers and supervisors. Systematically Roy (1981.426) pointed to the power and responsibilities of members. Members have to really understand the rights and obligations. To obtain good results in the annual members meeting, the cooperative must have a minimum standard of qualification. In the standard set of knowledge / understanding of the minimum owned by members of cooperatives and cooperatives, as such a member will provide added value through the thoughts and ideas to develop cooperative inofatip dlam. A good knowledge of cooperative business activities can also minimize the occurrence of prejudice terhadapa manager. For the purposes of basic education that is necessary for prospective members. Minimum standards regarding the qualifications and ketertautan self-understanding of the content of the basic budget and the budgets of households and other provisions in the organization.
Board are people trusted by the meeting of members to perform duties and authority in running wheels of the organization and effort. In this connection, the administrator must perform the hope and trust members expressed in the forum meeting of members. Executive Board members will need to describe the program more technical work. And strategic. Leadership is the ability to be owned by a manager.
Supervisors or agency inspectors were appointed by the forum meeting for members of the supervisory task to an administrator. Three important things that supervised by the supervisor of officials, namely: (a) organizational; (b) keusahaan; (c) finance. Supervisory duties in the cooperative management has a strategic position, given indirectly, his position can be a safety of dishonesty, inaccuracies or ketidakprofesionalan management committee. Therefore, the supervisor must have the capability requirements (competence), namely: a) personal competence; b) professional competence.
Cooperative independence
One of the principles of cooperatives is the presence of a business independence, which means the cooperative as a business entity must be independent in managing all its activities including managing the business. In the global competition, the government no longer considers cooperation as a golden boy who constantly fed and protected, but the government has begun to encourage cooperatives to compete with other forms of business entities, which means that cooperatives should be well managed through the efficient management of activities and effective. To create a cooperative business efficiency must be supported by qualified human resources and competent. It's time to separate the management of cooperatives with business management (management). A manager should be appointed and supported by management tools such as quasi-standard SOP and dynamic. Without managed professionally by applying modern management, it is very unlikely cooperatives can grow and compete with other business forms. To realize the goal of cooperatives "prosperous members", then the cooperative effort to succeed, the cooperative should obtain the optimal profit, only to increase that profit, then the members will be able to feel the benefits of cooperatives.
There is no limit that businesses can be managed by cooperatives, cooperatives for a capital and the ability to manage it. The success of cooperative management will be realized when there sinegis cooperation between administrators, supervisors and members, each element plays a very important and complement each other to make a single integral part.
