Creating shared value in the social and solidarity economy: How can a cooperative create shared value?

Abstract

The objective of our research was to analyze the creation of shared value in a cooperative. For this purpose, we asked ourselves the following question: How can a cooperative create shared value? We started by setting up the state of the art of shared value creation in the current literature. The study of the creation of shared value has several parts. We contextualized the concept of value. Then, we looked at the definition of this concept in the literature, especially according to Porter and Kramer, and its academic criticisms in relation to the social responsibility of companies before talking about its levers for measuring strategies for creating shared value. And finally, the relationship between performance and value creation.
