The authors describe several advantages and shortcomings of the cooperative model in Chapter 8.They note that cooperatives are relatively rare in practice, and one possible reason is that the link between labor and management becomes stretched in large-scale enterprises.Workers may still collectively own the enterprise, but the management tasks are handled by a few specialists and areno longer shared by all.

Could cooperatives overcome this issue by rotating the management of the enterprise?For example, suppose all of the management positions in the cooperative are held for a two years, and then other workers are rotated into these positions.What are the pros and cons of this policy?Can you think of actual organizations that operate in this fashion?
