In response to Raymond's comment, my colleagues and I have recently had published the following article about Mondragon, one of the oldest, largest and best known coops.

Congratulations!!! to my knowledge, this is the first ever research project focusing on workers cooperatives by members of ODC!

My colleagues and I are considering doing a qualitative analysis of successful employee-owned companies. We are using a broad definition of employee-ownership to include ESOP's (Employee Stock Option Plans), KSOP's (401 K plans with an ESOP component, ESoP's (Employee Stock option Plans), Perpetual Trusts, and Employee-Owned Cooperatives. If you have one or know of one, please send or source information to me at fmshipper@salisbury.edu.
Thanks You,
