Summary/Abstract: The key goals set during the launch of co-operatives have not been implemented uniformly. While these have been able to meet the requirements of the development of local economy, self-sufficiency, transit role, sustainability, continuous progress, or even entrepreneurship encouraging less, they could almost completely meet the expectations regarding social objectives and local long-term employment. Beyond employment, improvement of living conditions, thus reducing the burden on local governments, the operation of social co-operatives can be indirectly part of settlement marketing, improving the image of a village. A good example can of course stimulate the establishment of more enterprises, through which the local government can get more tax revenue. However the development of the local economy can have an indirect role in community-building, having benefits for strengthening local identity and thereby retaining the local population. However, innovativeness in the classic sense, thus continuous and intensive development of tools and technologies is not typical of the co-operatives. Furthermore, the problems come from the difficulty of expanding market opportunities and secondly, from capital shortage traced back to the lack of creditworthiness. Most of the co-operatives have not developed co-operations with small plants however it would be a step forward in the utilization of market opportunities. For further progress and the expansion of the customer base, preferably county or national level markets should be targeted or possibly entering into purchaser contracts providing consistency and security would be necessary. To ensure favourable changes regarding this area, established marketing strategies have to be developed.
