A cooperative of women artisans in Jaipur reinvests its surplus into skill training for members and runs on democratic member control. A student calls it an example of non-corporate social governance. What is the strongest justification?
The cooperative is a member-driven collective outside the company form that reinvests surplus in training and community welfare under democratic control. This is why it exemplifies non-corporate social governance. It is not a regulator, a promoter-dividend vehicle, or compulsorily listed on a Social Stock Exchange.
