Tom Webb is an Adjunct Professor at Saint Mary’s University in Nova Scotia, Canada and was Executing Director of the Imagine 2012 Conference on Co-operative Economics.
More than a decade ago an international group of co-operatives formed the Co-operative Management Education Co-operative to address the failure of university business schools and universities generally to reflect the existence and role of co-operatives in economies and societies around the world. In the English speaking world only one business school course existed on co-operatives. Most business school text books and learning materials dismissed co-operatives or ignored them. Some were hostile.
