Abstract
Excerpts from the report: In selecting the sample associations for this case study report, a limited number of the associations responding to our mail questionnaire were requested to submit copies of their plans for thorough review. Representative plans from this group were then selected for detailed study, including personal interviews with management and other personnel of the cooperatives involved. This report covers detailed plans of five selected associations. Detailed information covering the complete incentive system of the selected cooperatives is presented in the following sections of this report for each association. Before discussing the individual plans, however, a few general comments regarding method of presentation, the associations, and their incentive programs should be helpful. Each case is presented separately. A general comment preceding the incentive plans of each association provides basic information on the cooperatives themselves. This was considered necessary to give perspective and a setting to make the plans more meaningful.
