Journal of Co-operative Studies, No. 66, pp. 49-54
Workers' co-operatives are undergoing a period of sustained growth in numbers in the UK and Europe with suggestions that one new workers' co-operative was being formed every day in Britain in areas ranging from typesetting to office cleaning, from interior design to precision engineering. This paper deals briefly with some of the problems related to poor information management in these organisations and identifies likely consequences resulting from such a situation.
