The cooperative factor: The business model benefits from being an employee-owned worker cooperative in the UK

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies.

Design/methodology/approach

This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context.

Findings

Employee-owned businesses (EOBs) have been around for a long time now, yet despite calls for them to be provided greater levels of support in the last decade, they still remain a minority on the global marketplace. This review looks at why this should be rethought.

Originality/value

The briefing saves busy executives, strategists and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
