Abstract

Over the last 20 years, the field of information systems has been of

interest to academics for its potential to improve decision-making. However, re-

searchers have mainly studied the benefits of using these systems in traditional

business models. For this reason, researchers should determine what procedures

are needed to implement information systems and what obstacles there are to

adoption in the co-operative sector. This study applies a systematic literature re-

view of 35 papers from 2005 to 2023 with the primary goal of demonstrating the

advantages, methods, and obstacles of information system implementation in the

co-operative sector. As a result, the study offers an in-depth description of how

information systems and the co-operative sector are related. Researchers have not

conducted a detailed analysis of this subject, despite its growing interest. Our

research outlines the advantages and obstacles of using information technologies

in co-operatives. This research contributes to the theoretical research streams on

co-operatives and information systems. Instead, from the managerial point of

view, this study demonstrates how information systems can enhance decision-

making, stakeholder engagement, and the performance of co-operatives.
