Michel will present on his teaching and research on the co-operative business model and sustainable development. The business model for co-operatives, credit unions, and mutual is well suited to the triple bottom line – valuing economic, environmental, and social factors. Michel’s presentation will touch on the co-operative business structure, sustainable development principles, and management models.
*IRECUS offers a Master’s in Management and Governance for Co-operatives and Mutuals. Given the similarities to the Saint Mary’s programs (Master’s and Graduate Diploma in Co-operative Management), we are exploring opportunities for greater partnerships.
