Abstract

This chapter examines the evaluation of economic and financial viability of marketing cooperatives (MCs) and Investor Owned Firms (IOFs). The analysis covers the periods from 1993-98 for MCs and from 1994-98 for IOFs. The data is based on the financial characteristics of 10 MCs and 2 IOFs established and operating in Crete (the largest Greek island) and 8 food processing and marketing companies operating in Greece, but chosen exclusively for their vast familiarity to Greek consumers. The assessment procedure includes data analysis techniques in combination with a multicriteria analysis method (PROMETHEE II). The analysis results in an overall ranking of the examined firms' performance. It further indicates the strengths and weaknesses of the involved firms with regard to their financial behavior, thus contributing to the identification of market imperfections of the examined firms. Therefore, relevant conclusions are drawn concerning the revision of corporate strategies.
