[Outline and purpose of the course]
The purpose of this course is to initiate Kyoto University students in the understanding of the functioning of agricultural coops, to give them a global vision of their specificities in terms of governance and performance. Based on a historical and financial vision of these particular organizations, the course analyzes the case of French agricultural coops. It especially focuses on wine sector where a large number of SME exist and develop different strategies to face globalization and to allow grape growers’ sustainability. The course first presents the main characteristics and evolutions of French agricultural coops, then deals with their ways of governance (theoretical and real aspects) and describes the key points of wine coops (more particularly strategies and mergers). Finally, it gives students an overview of their economic and financial performance measurement, with specific indicators.
