Abstracts

The study focuses on changes in Czech consumer cooperatives in the years of the so called “first” Czechoslovak Republic, i. e. between 1918–1938. These changes are examined under three different viewing angles: 1. development of economic parameters; 2. organizational structure; 3. transformations of primary and secondary roles of consumer cooperatives. On the basis of this, the study concludes that the Czech consumer cooperatives can be evaluated as highly developed. They constituted a wellorganizedmarket component, with a significant market position, despite its political fragmentation. Their development was surprisingly stable and continuous, especially in contrast to the development of the economic cycle.
