Abstract

The article presents an analysis of the organizational structures of cooperatives in the agricultural industry, offers conceptual approaches to modeling the organizational structures of agricultural formations in Russia, taking into account the specifics of the industry, using modern and innovative strategies for organizational changes. The creation of flexible multilevel systems of cooperation is substantiated, allowing, on the one hand, to consider the interests of both members of a single cooperative and a group of cooperatives that synergistically consolidate the available and attracted resources. An assessment of the importance of these principles for creating an effective cooperative structure is based on analyzing a survey of peasant farms in the Perm Territory. A promising organizational structure of multilevel cooperation has been developed.
