November 20th, 2008 - For the fourth lecture in the 2008 BCICS and CSEHub Fall Speakers Series: Co-operation and Sustainability, we featured our very own Dr. Ana María Peredo, Director of the BC Institute for Co-operative Studies and professor in UVic's Faculty of Business.

In her presentation, Dr. Peredo developed the concept of community-based enterprise (CBE) and argued that it provides a potential strategy for sustainable local development in poor populations in which movements are typically rooted in community culture. She asserted that natural and social capital are integral and inseparable from economic considerations, and drew on interdisciplinary and multilevel approaches to propose a theoretical model of the determinants, characteristics, and consequences of CBEs.
