What did the crab do?
Right. Stumbing over my dad's Coop catalogue he picked up from tafe, I've been thinking about how the entire tertiary world more or less relies on the Coop Bookshop. Once upon a time, the organisation was a proper coop - nonprofit - or so I'm told. However it'd appear to now have developed a little bit into a much more capitalistic organisation.
There're countless benefits to cooperatives, as long as they stay cooperative with the members.. I've got a tonne of ideas as to how things could be done (marketing, sales processes, distribution etc), but at the moment it's still a rather intangiable thought.
Assuming support from the student community (and I think, after you've bought one or two $150+ books you're happy to do anything for cheaper books), does anyone have any thoughts/experience with this sort of thing? Anyone have a vague idea of how much markup %'s are on the current coop books?
Am currently doing a little research, just wanted to get some opinions...?
