EMPLOYEE OWNERSHIP AND CORPORATE PERFORMANCE

Researchers now agree that "the case is closed" on employee ownership and corporate performance.
Findings this consistent are very unusual. We can say with certainty that when ownership and participative management are combined, substantial gains result. Ownership alone and participation alone, however, have, at best, spotty or short-lived results.
This is how the NCEO - the US National Center for Employee Ownership concludes its page on employee ownership and corporate performance.
Over the years, the NCEO has reported on new research on employee ownership and corporate performance. Now that a substantial body of work exists on the subject, we thought it would make sense to summarize it in one place. The research comes to a very definite conclusion: the combination of ownership and participative management is a powerful competitive tool. Neither ownership nor participation alone, however, accomplishes very much.
