COUNSELLING: MANAGEMENT AND ECONOMIC PLANNING
IN WORKERS' COOPERATIVES
- COCEPLAD counsels workers' cooperatives for a better management and economic planning through the employment of the Profit Impact Simulator (SIG) whilst escorting them in the evaluation of diverse scenarios they might face in the future.
- The implementation of the SIG in the cooperative space can contribute in the achievement of a double objective: efficiently planning their economic activities and creating both democratic management mechanisms and solidarity relationships among their members.
- The results and information given by the SIG -available for each and every associate of the cooperative- enables them to draw an in-depth picture of the economic performance. At the same time, these allow exhaustively identifying the roles played by each associate member, for the sake of establishing clear-cut, concrete and reciprocal binding mandates.
- The adoption of the SIG might as well encourage intercooperation activities through which the complementarity of the chronostructures of different cooperatives shall be identified.
- This enriches the workers' cooperatives with the basis for associating with each other according to their chronostructures own needs and capabilities, while aiming to establish cooperative planning subsystems that shall surpass the scope of economic integration as it is currently known.
IN STATE AGENCIES AND ORGANISATIONS
- We deliver economic information regarding the dynamic and structure of the compelling subsystem. By means of the SIG we build and evaluate the chronostructure of income and expenses of the different kinds of management divisions that play a part inside of it.
- We assess alternative projects based on the impact that these will have on the subsystem in which the organism develops and on the innovative circuit intended to be promoted.
- Throughout this analysis we identify compatibilities and incompatibilities of different management sectors in the short, medium and long term between:
a. The profit rate maximisation over the capital committed (economic optimum)
b. The technical optimum (mainly concerning the Production–possibility frontier under the current given techniques).
c. The preservation and recovery of natural resources (planning and administration of large topographic, hydrographic, edaphic and agroecological basic scenarios) in pursuance of an environmental optimum. - In addition, we evaluate -under the economic, technical and ambiental standpoint- the effects of incorporating new techniques in the various management units that take part inside of the subsystem (in the short, medium and long term).
IN BUSINESS ENTERPRISES
- By means of the SIG we build and present a meticulous description of the business capital chronostructure, including a precise calculation of its corresponding profit rate.
- This enables us to put at disposal clear and properly organised reports involving the technical-financial state of the enterprise, hence being able to simulate the impact that numerous possible technical, economic and financial scenarios might have on its profitability.
- This much simpler and clearer organisation of the information flows shall provide the planners of the management unit the means to attain a comprehensive outlook of their activities dynamics in such a way that they will be able to make well-founded and more efficient economic decisions.
- The above-mentioned reports are enriched with the elaboration of detailed analysis about the technologic portfolio available in the specific subsystem where the organism unfolds.
- Supported by this information we attempt to provide a diagnosis of the technical state of the business enterprise and the repercussions that the incorporation of new techniques might have on it in the short, medium and long term.
