| In the popular press and in cooperative boardrooms there are discussions about member commitment. Since they are formed to enhance members’ well being, member commitment is an important issue for cooperatives. Cooperative communication strategies may influence member commitment, and these strategies are under the direct control of cooperatives. This study of Minnesota and Wisconsin cooperatives focuses on two questions: (1) do communications influence a member’s commitment to their cooperative, and (2) do different segments of the cooperative community respond differently to different communication approaches. Our results suggest that the answer to both questions is yes. |

| Cooperatives face unique challenges in compensating managers because it is more difficult to link the financial interests of the manager to those of the cooperative. One way to overcome this challenge is to use performance-based bonuses. This study of cooperatives in Minnesota and Wisconsin found that such bonuses are infrequently used. Further. evidence indicates that existing bonuses tend to be linked more to the size of the cooperative (sales. assets) than to profitability. These results suggest that more attention to this critical area is warranted. |

| Results are presented from a follow-up survey of managerial compensation practices in local farm supply and marketing cooperatives in Minnesota, North Dakota, and Wisconsin. In contrast to findings from the original survey, total compensation levels, bonuses, and changes in compensation are all found to be positively and significantly associated with local net margin and not closely related to sales and sales growth. |

| In the 1995 issue of the Journal of Cooperatives, Trechter and King reported findings from a survey of managerial compensation practices in Minnesota and Wisconsin cooperatives that was conducted in 1993. The results from that study indicated that overall compensation and bonuses received by general managers of local cooperatives were more closely associated with cooperative size measures than with levels of profitability. The results also suggested that there was not a strong relationship between compensation practices and cooperative performance, measured by return on assets. A follow-up compensation survey was conducted in 1994. The study population was expanded to include local cooperatives in North Dakota, along with the Minnesota and Wisconsin... |
