A kibbutz is a unique phenomenon, seen as being a multi-generational community, providing a varied economic structure and great facility for adapting itself to the vicissitudes of both the Israeli and world economy regarding globalisation and the competitiveness of products and services (Near, 1992; Simons & Ingram, 2000). It has played a main role in Israel’s history within the political, military and economic setting. The kibbutz movement boasts about being in the vanguard of the young socialist, labour-orientated jewish state (Rotbart, 2000; Ruffle & Sosis, 2002; Tsuk, 2000). The kibbutz became a fundamental and typical means of colonising Palestine following the First World War in the eyes of the public (Shafir, 1989). This article explores the situation of settlement in Israel and the antecedents regarding how a kibbutz has been organised, trying to offer complete and systemic reflection on the topic. This investigation forms part of the Bio-management research project into the Kibbutz as an example of an organisation model.
