The Cooperatism figure contains on itself ethic values and principles that make it different among other enterprises based on its own purposes that complete differs from the others. Those principles were reiterated in year 1995 by the International Cooperative Alliance in a congress organized to celebrate its 50 years of life. For the above statement, this is necessary to know if these enterprises keep the same values and principles that characterized a cooperative enterprise in our country. The latest obeys to the opinion of some analyzers where according to their judgments, the current General Law for Cooperative Societies (1994) confuses and alter the values of the enterprises so the tendency is to change their nature; in front of a challenge to compete against the globalize market these enterprises are gradually being transformed into an Anonymous Society which its purpose radically differs to the Cooperative Enterprises.
