In this research we are interested in how social entrepreneurs think about their organizational creation process in the context of cooperatives, and how cooperatives conceptualize and actualize their ‘care for community’ social principles. In this interface of organizational purpose and form, we find a variety of interesting issues presented by our interview sample of founders of young, global organizations from six nations. Discussing their mission and values, the cooperative members share their positions and concerns regarding the synergies and tensions of commitments to internally and externally focused stakeholders operationalized within the foundational context of democratic process and engagement.
