2020 Report Executive Summary Letter from the Chairman
2020 Report Executive summary Letter from the Chairman I would like to begin this message by thanking all the people who make EROSKI possible. People who, individually and collectively, have lived up to the demands of society, and who have done so with determination and efficiency, always giving their best for the benefit of the community. The quality of this response did not come as a surprise to any of us. But it must nevertheless be recognised, especially when it reaches this level of commitment. Our main priority is to guarantee the safety of both our employees and customers. It was complicated at the beginning, but we ended up certifying our establishments with the Bureau Veritas Safer Shopping seal. In the meantime, we had to ensure that our stores were well stocked every day. The entire value chain performed exceptionally well and we were able to provide an optimal response to an accumulated demand that increased significantly at the onset of the crisis. The pandemic adversely affected different groups and, fortunately, we were able to meet the pressing needs of many of them. Thus, we donated one million face masks to municipal councils and social organisations and the equivalent of more than 6.5 million meals to Food Banks, amongst other actions. The most complicated year had to be the most supportive year. Consumers changed their shopping habits and we wanted to accompany them in that change. The much talked-about innovation and digital transformation in business is about making life easier for customers, allowing them to find different, innovative products and providing them with a more satisfactory, agile and efficient shopping experience. -

Do Co-ops Speak the Managerial Lingua Franca ? An analysis of the Managerial Discourse of Mondragon Cooperatives Iñaki Heras-Saizarbitoria* Department of Business Organization University of the Basque Country UPV/EHU [email protected] Imanol Basterretxea Department of Financial Economics and Accounting University of the Basque Country UPV/EHU [email protected] . This is the peer reviewed version of the following article: Heras-Saizarbitoria, I., & Basterretxea, I. (2016). Do co-ops speak the managerial lingua franca? An analysis of the managerial discourse of Mondragon cooperatives. Journal of Co-operative Organization and Management, 4(1), 13-21.(DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcom.2016.02.001) The copy-edited version is available at: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2213297X16300015 1 Do Co-ops Speak the Managerial Lingua Franca ? An analysis of the Managerial Discourse of Mondragon Cooperatives Abstract A trend towards conventional managerialism has been identified in cooperative organizations, and it has been suggested that this is a symptom of the phenomenon of degeneration in cooperatives. Although managerial discourse is at the heart of the dominant managerialism, not much attention has been given to this trend. To fill this gap in the literature, the present study analyzes the managerial discourse of the organizations grouped within the Mondragon cooperative experience, based on a content and discourse analysis of the organizational information published by the Corporation and its 70 member-cooperatives. A mainstream popular managerial discourse is identified in the majority of the member-cooperatives, a discourse disconnected from the discourse of the Corporation. In the latter the basic cooperative values and principles are more strongly emphasized. -

Assessing Mondragon: Stability & Managed Change in the Face Of
THE WILLIAM DAVIDSON INSTITUTE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN Assessing Mondragon: Stability & Managed Change in the Face of Globalization By: Saioa Arando, Fred Freundlich, Monica Gago, Derek C. Jones and Takao Kato William Davidson Institute Working Paper Number 100 3 November 2010 Assessing Mondragon: Stability and Managed Change in the Face of Globalization Saioa Arando, Fred Freundlich, Monica Gago, Derek C. Jones and Takao Kato November, 2010 Abstract By drawing on new interview evidence gathered during several field trips and new financial and economic data from both external and internal sources, we document and assess the changing economic importance and performance of the Mondragon group of cooperatives as well as the two largest sectors within the group. Compared to conventional firms in the Basque Country and Spain, and producer co-ops (PCs) and employee owned firms elsewhere, in general we find evidence of growing group importance and strong performance and a similarly strong record for the industrial and retail divisions. These stylized facts do not support hypotheses concerning PCs such as predictions that PCs will restrict employment and become progressively comparatively undercapitalized. In accounting for this record, we highlight key and, at times, not uncontroversial institutional developments in the group during the last 20 years or so that indicate the existence of a continuing capacity for institutional adaptation in Mondragon-- an ongoing ability to innovate and make institutional adjustments to deal with emerging challenges. In addition, we provide more detailed information than before on some key distinguishing institutional mechanisms of the Mondragon group, including the extent of worker-member transfers during economic crises, the patterns of profit pooling and the type and volume of training. -

The Role of Workers in Management
Review of Radical Political Economics 43(3) 328 –333 The Role of Workers © 2011 Union for Radical Political Economics Reprints and permission: http://www. in Management: The sagepub.com/journalsPermissions.nav DOI: 10.1177/0486613411407715 Case of Mondragón http://rrpe.sagepub.com Al Campbell1 Abstract Independent of whatever other advantages it might have for the workers, worker ownership has repeatedly demonstrated in the real world that it is no guarantee for worker participation in management. The participation of workers in management as a first step toward worker self-management requires institutions and practices that will both allow such participation and promote it. This paper considers, in the frame of four standard issues in worker self- management, six specific institutions and practices common to the collection of co-ops that constitute the Mondragón complex that have generated meaningful worker participation in management in this large corporation. JEL classification: J54, L29, M19 Keywords economic democracy, workers’ participation in management, Mondragón, cooperatives This is not a paper about the rich multi-dimensional subject of the economics of the Mondragón complex of worker cooperatives. This is a case study of worker participation in management and self-management at Mondragón, at the present time. Specifically, this article will briefly exam- ine six institutional structures and practices at Mondragón that both allow and promote worker participation in management. 1. Structures1 and Practices for Supporting and Promoting Participation in Management Before examining these six institutions and practices, four issues will be briefly indicated that should be kept in mind. The first issue is the necessary interaction between direct and representative institutions and practices for participation in management. -

Chapter 7 Perceptions Towards Multilingual Practices in Teacher Education
Nagore Ipiña and Begoña Pedrosa Chapter 7 Perceptions towards Multilingual Practices in Teacher Education Abstract: Higher Education (HE) in Europe has been attributed an important role in fostering multilingualism and therefore, universities in Europe have developed policies (Extra & Yagmur, 2012; Fortanet-Gómez, 2013; Pavón, Lancaster & Bretones, 2019) and reflected on practices that could promote multilingualism in the last few years� In that line, approaches such as CLIL or EMI have also become common practices in some contexts� However, most of the experiences carried out in HE have proved not to be sufficient (Fortanet-Gómez, 2013) to reach the aims and thus, further research is needed (Dafouz & Smit, 2014)� Focusing on Teacher Education, the intent of this chapter is to examine critically the practices carried out in Teacher Education at the Faculty of Humanities and Education of Mondragon University� The study was carried out by means of focus groups with student teachers and semi-structured interviews with teacher educator to analyse the existing perceptions towards multilingual practices at the Faculty of Humanities and Education from an ecological perspective (van Lier, 1998, 2004)� Results show that the practices conducted are perceived as meaningful by the participants as a way to foster multilingualism� Moreover, results of this study call for a new step towards Pluriliteracies Teacher for Learning Approach to develop a more holistic and ecological perspective� However, conducting similar research studies in other contexts -
