520 $a In the first essay, "Alternative Italian Agricultural Cooperative Strategies in the Changing EU Food System," a sample of Italian cooperatives was analyzed and compared to the US in order to assess strengths and weaknesses. Major strategic trends in Italian agricultural cooperatives such as the pursuit of a multifunctional cooperative strategy to meet the social demands for agricultural services were identified. The second essay is entitled "Members' Financial Evaluation and the Efficiency of Cooperatives' Decision Processes." In this paper, a financial model describing the cooperative investment evaluation process was proposed. The results suggest that cooperatives evaluate their investment differently than investor owned firms and that cooperatives' decision process is characterized by higher transaction costs. The third essay, "Effects of Managers' Power on Capital Structure: A Study on Italian Agricultural Cooperatives," analyzes the problem of cooperatives' undercapitalization. In the paper, an econometric model was estimated to test the hypothesis that managers can significantly influence the capital structure of a cooperative.
