Abstract

Recently significant changes have occurred in the analysis of cooperatives and numberless discussions have emerged study the theme that directs enterprisers and entrepreneurship. The initiative should provide a safe and challenging haven for the propagation of ideas and the entrepreneurship activity. Current analysis “assesses the profile of a service cooperative´s president in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, under the point of view of entrepreneurship”. Several theoretical opinions have been analyzed to foreground the characteristics of the entrepreneurship profile. Current qualitative and descriptive study is a case study based on a service cooperative in the state of Rio Gande do Sul. The president and three other persons directly linked to the former were interviewed so that the answers could be compared and contrasted. Results show that the president attends to most requirements of the model, with limitations in monitoring. A model was proposed which was adequate to such needs.
