  • 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.

  • 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
