The financial crisis invigorated this requirement, posing new challenges to the economic viability of conventional companies and demanding alternative organizational forms of production. Although a wealth of research has focused on capitalist companies, little attention has been paid to the way these challenges affected worker cooperatives. Drawing from a qualitative case study of the Mondragon Cooperative Group, this article discusses the obstacles to internationalization faced by worker cooperatives, as well as the specific conditions and implications involved. In particular, the article analyzes Mondragon’s contradiction between being forced to expand and trying to keep cooperative values during this expansion. Two main actions aimed at responding to this contradiction are analyzed: the creation of mixed cooperatives and the extension of the corporate management model. The analysis of this process will shed light on actions for the global expansion of worker cooperatives. Keywords Cooperative values, expansion, internationalization, worker cooperatives Corresponding author: Ramon Flecha, Department of Sociological Theory, Philosophy of Law and Methodology of the Social Sciences, Faculty of Economics and Business, University of Barcelona, Av. Diagonal, 690-696, Torre 4, Planta 1, 08034 Barcelona, Spain.

BUSINESS ADDRESS AND AFFILIATES P18 05.SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY P22 06.SOCIAL ORGANS AND DIRECTORS 01. MANAGEMENT REPORT The worldwide GDP for 2013 grew by 3.0% meaning a drop in the rhythm of growth regarding the two previous years. It was a year with two differentiated parts, which could be seen in the ULMA Group activity. The first six months saw growth near to 2.5% and the second semester thanks to the strong impulse from the North American economy the GDP was situated at 3.5%, which has affected the risk perception associated to emerging economies and has been noticed in the markets. The national market is still declining. The market uncertainty and the problems for obtaining credit are delaying investment decision. That, together with the excess of capacity in the majority of sectors is being noticed both in the activity and margins of the internal markets. Therefore, we have had to reaffirm our commitment for the international market in the search for new opportunities for our businesses. A negative aspect we can highlight as conditioning our activity over the year are the strong devaluations occurred in the currencies of emerging economies like Brazil, Poland, etc. Taking into consideration all these circumstances, when we evaluate 2013 we have to say that it has been satisfactory. The ULMA Group reached a sales figure of 680 M Euros in the year, which meant a year-to-year increase of 1%, and that in spite of the negative impact of the turbulence of exchange rates occurred during the second semester in the emerging Iñaki Gabilondo.
