Abstract
A BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS ON POSTGRADUATE THESES WRITTEN ON COOPERATIVE MANAGEMENT IN TURKEY
Cooperatives, which have been designated a "third sector" alongside the public and private sectors globally, have emerged as a prominent topic of discussion in recent years. This is due to their resilient and adaptable structures, which have become increasingly relevant in the context of mounting challenges to the legitimacy of capitalism and the climate and food crises. To ensure the long-term sustainability of this model of solidarity and cooperation, it is essential to rethink cooperative management and analyse the current situation in practice. The objective of this study is to contribute to the existing literature on cooperative management by conducting a bibliometric analysis of national graduate theses on cooperative management. The analysis was conducted on a sample of 11 graduate theses directly related to the topic of “Cooperative Management” in the database of the National Thesis Center of the Council of Higher Education. The statistical data and findings were interpreted through the Maxqda 2024 Program and discussed in the conclusion section.
