Sumario:Do the cooperatives have the same motivations as other companies to carry out a merger? With this we performed the present study. It starts with the merger of five cooperatives with the following characteristics: farmers' associations, small businesses belonging to the same industrial segment, with similar products and markets. Based on the theory a questionnaire with Likert-type five-point scale was developed in order for the verification of the hypotheses most often cited in the literature. The questionnaires were answered by the managers who made the merger decision and participated in the entire process. The results of the hypothesis were compared with the financial indicators of the company and confirmed the opinion of managers.
