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.
