New report on the increasing market orientation of social cooperatives in Italy
The new EURICSE research report on the increasing market orientation of social cooperatives in Italy investigates the growing trend of social cooperatives catering directly to paying customers, offering an analysis of the consequences of this process in terms of mission, skills and organizational processes. The study, written by Prof. Luca Fazzi (University of Trento) with EURICSE researchers Giacomo Pisani, Jole Decorte and Mirella Maturo, is now online.
The results of the research were presented in a webinar that featured testimonials from social cooperatives and a lively discussion of the opportunities, challenges and consequences of this evolving model. In addition to the authors of the study, speakers included EURICSE President Paola Iamiceli, Francesca Scarinci (Consorzio Nazionale CGM), Alessandro Micich (Cooperativa Sociale Cadiai, Bologna), and Maurizio Gozzi (Cooperativa Sociale 3C Salute, Reggio Emilia).
