Abstract
Community cooperatives are a novel form of community enterprises that have emerged mainly over the last decade, with the aim to tackle the diverse and interconnected societal challenges that are experienced by people living in marginalized and underdeveloped communities in dispersed rural areas or suburban regions of metropolitan cities (Hertel et al., 2019; Peredo & Chrisman, 2006). These challenges encompass reduced business opportunities, social isolation, deterioration of the local cultural and historical heritage, and lack of access to quality education, welfare, and healthcare, among others (Haugh, 2007; Hertel et al., 2021).
