The Journal of Entrepreneurial and Organisational Diversity (JEOD), a peer-reviewed journal dedicated to researching diverse enterprise models and their socio-economic impact, has published its latest issue, Volume 13, Issue 2 (2024). This edition, titled ‘Cooperatives at the Frontline of Societal Transformation’, explores how cooperatives contribute to reshaping social and economic landscapes, focusing on democratisation, decommodification, and decarbonisation. Given the increasing importance of sustainable and community-focused business models, this issue offers valuable insights for those engaged in proximity and social ecosystem.

This volume highlights key research on worker cooperatives, job crafting in unionised cooperatives, path dependence in Italian social cooperatives, and integral cooperatives as prefigurative organisations, offering valuable insights for those working within community-driven, sustainable business models. It also includes a book review on innovations in circularity and sustainability, perfect for those looking to align social and environmental sustainability with economic strategies.
