    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.

  • 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.

Evaluating Workplace Democracy in Mondragon Anders Christiansen Department of Political Science Honor’s Thesis University of Vermont May 2014 Committee Members: Jan Feldman, Ph.D. Cornell University Shirley Gedeon, Ph.D. University of Massachusetts Amherst Peter Von Doepp, Ph.D. University of Florida Abstract Following the global financial crisis in 2008, the Mondragon Cooperative Corporation was used as an example of an alternative to capitalist development. At the same time, much of the recent literature on Mondragon has questioned whether Mondragon’s democracy has degenerated, without drawing definitive conclusions. I review how democracy has been defined in the past and conclude that while Mondragon’s conception of democracy is applicable in small homogenous cooperatives, it needs to be reformulated in order to apply to large, diverse groups. In its current state, Mondragon cannot be considered a democracy.

Some of the industrial cooperatives that belong to the Mondragon Corporation have since the 1990s followed internationalisation strategies that have increased their competitiveness, the number of their employees and their ability to create wealth. However, these moves have also called into question the founding nature of these enterprises. Recently, the Corporation itself has adopted a discourse based on strengthening workers’ participation in capitalist subsidiaries, but to date, the initiatives taken by its multinational cooperatives have been few and the results not particularly impressive. This article investigates this disconnect, delving into the problems of replicating the cooperative model in these subsidiaries and seeking solutions. It focuses on the case of Fagor Ederlan (Mondragon Corporation), examining the efforts to transform capitalist subsidiaries, especially the ‘cooperativisation’ of the Fagor subsidiary in Tafalla (Spain), which is the biggest regeneration project in Mondragon’s Industrial Division. This work also contributes to the broader field of organisational theory by analysing the tensions and opportunities for regeneration in worker-owned organisations under the current globalised context.

The first Mondragón cooperatives date from the mid-1950s, and the overall effort has evolved over the years into a federation of 110 cooperatives, 147 subsidiary companies, eight foundations and a benefit society with total assets of 35.8 billion euros and total revenues of 14 billion euros. Each year, it also teaches some 10,000 students in its education centers and has roughly 2,000 researchers working at 15 research centers, the University of Mondragón, and within its industrial cooperatives. It also actively educates its workers about cooperatives’ principles, with around 3,000 people a year participating in its Cooperative Training program and 400 in its Leadership and Team Work program. Mondragón has been justly cited as a leading example of what can be done through cooperative organization. It has evolved a highly participatory decision-making structure, and a top-to-bottom compensation structure in a highly advanced economic institution that challenges economic practices throughout the corporate capitalist world: In the vast majority of its cooperatives, the ratio of compensation between top executives and the lowest-paid members is between three to one and six to one; in a few of the larger cooperatives it can be as high as around nine to one.

It is a fact that we, the IK4 centres, are in this most important one since it only sets out to symbolise together, but this means we can avail ourselves of the new era that has opened up in the IK4 Alliance. The more possibilities for improving, and for rendering a hallmark of this new era will be fixed in the Strategic Plan better service to society.
