ENTREPRENEURIAL DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH OF COOPERATIVE SOCIETIES
CHAPTER ONE
Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Entrepreneurial development and cooperative movement constitute a vital engine in the economic growth and development of nations including Nigeria. This is because it helps to line up various sectors of the economy, make more effective use of recourses (raw materials, capital and labour), generates income (locally and externally) contributes to regional activity and cooperation. The term entrepreneur could be referred to as a business man or woman who assumes the risk of uniting together the basic means of production such as capital, labour, goods and services of his or her products and time.
According to David Reaham, entrepreneur is people who undertake or assume responsibility in economic parlance. The entrepreneur is the individual who assumes responsibility for the operation of a business including the production facilities. To social science disciple of economics identifies entrepreneurs as the fourth fact of production. The others are land, labour capital, whereas both land and labour receives wages for its effort, the entrepreneur is the only factor that can receive positive reward for its advection. The encyclopedia American international Edition (2002) on cooperative on the other hand implies the working together which has its origin in England during the period of the great industrial revolution of (1957). At that time there was a widespread unemployment caused by the introduction of various labour saving devices (machinery) in the industries.
Truly speaking cooperative group started when Robert Owen in collaboration with some philanthropists, politicians and church began to preach to the working class a message of salvation which increased the number of marketing and purchasing cooperative making it double during the period of 1930. This variably has given rise to the understanding of the impediments to entrepreneurial success in the rural areas with more emphases to West Itam Multi-purpose Cooperative society being a case study. The important of entrepreneurship to the survival of nation economic growth and development can no longer be over looked (Onouha, 2004). There is no way of solving entrepreneurship problems than to identify the role played by the cooperative movement in facilitating the employment process in the society.
