      title = {Humanistic governance in democratic organizations : the  cooperative difference /},
      abstract = {This open access edited book brings together a number of  theories under the umbrella of humanistic governance to  develop a persuasive alternative perspective on governance,  particularly for democratic organisations such as  co-operatives. It examines how we can move beyond a  profit-first approach to governance, into a framework that  prioritises human dignity in all aspects of an operation.  This book also discusses key issues for different types of  cooperatives and how these might be addressed. And,  finally, it addresses how cooperatives can better cope with  dynamic change processes. This book will be of interest for  academics working in the areas of stakeholder governance,  social solidarity economy, ethical management and  co-operatives.
