Employee Ownership and Employee Involvement at Work: Case Studies

Many from Mondragon University in Spain, economists present case studies of worker-owned and worker-run businesses to help others design empirical studies in the new economics of participation. Among them are inter-cooperation mechanisms in Mondragon: managing the crisis of Fagor Electrodomesticos, employment involvement under rising competition pressure: evidence from two manufacturing firms in Japan, limitations of business unionism and co-op conservatism: a case study of Denver''s taxi drivers union-cooperatives, and Atlas Container Corporation: thinking outside the box. With a growing prominence of sophisticated econometric research in the field of New Economics of Participation (NEP), it is of particular value to learn about real-world examples of participatory and labor-managed firms in the advanced market economies through extensive case studies. In this volume, the authors present such case studies.
