Abstract:
The cyclical nature of capitalism reflected in the current economic crises encourages a review of the economic downturn of the 1970s and 1980s in Europe where workers engaged in sit-ins, work-ins and worker buyouts to save their jobs. Hundreds were successful and thousands of jobs were saved. Spain was at the forefront of this strategy and introduced legislation in 1986 to enshrine the worker self-managed company, Sociedades Laborales, as a policy for corporate restructuring. This article reports on the research in Spain conducted into company failure due to insolvency and the subsequent rescue by an employee-centred equity buyout. Seven firms in the metals industry are examined where workers rescued insolvent factories using the Sociedades Laborales democratic model. The research shows that sustainable democratic corporate governance was possible based on worker self-management and this was achieved by the workers making choices to overcome the conundrum of balancing democratic governance and market efficiency.

Abstract:
Across the OECD, a process of financialisation of the economy can be observed. Defined as the increasing dominance of the finance industry over the real economy and workers, financialisation can take different forms, including: growing instability and opacity of financial markets, increasing focus on shareholder value and the rise of alternative investors. This article reviews in particular the challenges to trade unions posed by the rise of the shareholder value model of governance in listed companies – as seen during the review of the OECD Corporate Governance Principles in 2004 – and more recently the boom in private equity buyout transactions. The trade union response to financialisation has followed two tracks: (i) to engage in regulatory advocacy at national and international levels for stakeholder approaches to corporate governance and financial markets and (ii) to mobilise workers' capital managed by pension funds to ensure responsible and long-term investor behaviour.

Abstract:
Purpose Worker-recuperated enterprises have appeared in Europe with increasing frequency since 2008, following the Great Recession that hit the western economies. The purpose of this paper is to depict the phenomenon of worker-recuperated enterprises in Italy, focusing on two different types of business recovery, that of workers buyouts and that of recovered social spaces. The paper compares these on the basis of four analytical dimensions: resilience/resistance, relationship with the market, relationship with the territory and workplace democracy. Design/methodology/approach The corpus of the research is based on the cross-sectional analysis of workers’ narratives. These were collected, within a small sample of theoretically relevant cases, in order to retrace and analyse the path from the crisis of the former companies to establishment of the workers’ cooperatives and their social and economic features. Findings The collected narratives allowed for a multi-level comparison between different types of worker-recuperated enterprises, providing some insights on their emergence, their features in terms of resilience and resistance, their relationship with the market economy and their outcomes in terms of workplace democracy and support to employment. Originality/value Worker buyouts are gaining ground in Europe as an effective mechanism to oppose the fall of the employment rate in consequence of economic crises. This research intends to offer some data and arguments to the current international debate on the effectiveness of these mechanisms in coping with economic shocks and opening up to a sustainable and cooperative work-driven economy.

Abstract:
This article analyzes the impact of removing the U.S. tobacco program in both a partial and general welfare economics framework. In a partial-equilibrium framework, a consumer tax-funded quota buyout can result in producer gains, consumer losses, net losses resulting from higher prices, and deadweight losses. In a general-equilibrium framework, society can gain from the buyout resulting from considerable potential savings from reduced healthcare costs attributable to a reduction in smoking. Additionally, we present a model that addresses the addictive qualities of tobacco while considering the effects of the quota buyout. We also conclude that another possible effect of the buyout is an increase in worker productivity because employees who are able to quit smoking reduce the amount of smoking-related sick days taken.

Abstract:
PurposeVarious theories predict that firm buyouts survive longer than newly created firms. The study aims to know whether it is the case for worker-owned firms (WOFs), i.e. firms owned and controlled mostly by their workers.Design/methodology/approachThe author conducted a comparative survival analysis of French WOFs distinguished by their entry mode (i.e. newly created, worker buyouts (WBOs) of sound conventional firms, WBOs of conventional firms in difficulty or WBOs of non-profit organizations).FindingsThe hazard of exit is 32% lower for WBOs of sound conventional firms than newly created WOFs, 18% for WBOs of conventional firms in difficulty and 64% for WBOs of non-profit organizations. The current study confirms that WBOs, even of conventional firms in difficulty, have on average a survival advantage over newly created WOFs. Surprisingly, the author also shows that this survival advantage is similar across sectors with different knowledge intensity but is lower in high capital-intensive sectors than in low capital-intensive ones.Research limitations/implicationsEndogeneity issues limit the scope of the results and should be tackled in future research. Overall, these findings show that WOFs are composed of groups with different survival likelihoods that are obscured if one only looks at the aggregate population.Practical implicationsWith caution, support agencies could foster WBOs of firms in difficulty and of non-profit organizations as viable forms of entrepreneurship.Originality/valueThe current study offers the first survival analysis distinguishing four modes of entry among WOFs.

Abstract:
Worker-recovered firms represent a new type of cooperatives, created through workers' buyouts (WBOs), whereby workers buy the property of the firm to re-structure, rescue or convert it. In Italy, recovery is supported by a vast legislative apparatus (such as the Marcora Law) and by the cooperative world. This paper reflects on the processes of resistance to closure and the resulting job loss that al-low experimenting with new organizational practices within a different logic of management, such as solidarity and job protection. Presenting a case study with an inductive chain of reasoning we identify the articulation of institutional opportunities present in the Italian context and highlight which organizational processes are generated in the recovery and conversion of a WBO firm characterized as a "hybrid organization". The paper first focuses on the Italian context with reference to existing secondary data and published material, clarifying why this organizational transformation must be explained within an institutional framework. It then outlines the theoretical background that allowed us to explore the organizational functioning of WBOs through the framework of institutional theory. Finally, we present the results and conclude with a discussion of our empirical and theoretical contribution.

Abstract:
Negli ultimi tempi di difficoltà e crisi economiche, sta assumendo sempre maggiore rilevanza anche in Italia e in Veneto il fenomeno del workers buyout, attraverso il quale i dipendenti di un’azienda salvano la propria impresa in difficoltà acquisendone la proprietà. Questo tipo di operazioni si è dimostrato essere un’ottima soluzione per combattere la disoccupazione e permettere ai lavoratori di non perdere l’enorme patrimonio e bagaglio di esperienza situata, accumulati nel corso della loro vita lavorativa. Questo elaborato di tesi tratta la tematica del workers buyout, indagando la fase di transizione di governance societaria verso una maggiormente democratica e mira a studiare in particolare come fare tale transizione e quali siano le relative criticità dal punto di vista dei lavoratori coinvolti in questo processo e nel complesso cambio di mentalità necessario che può essere loro richiesto nel passaggio da lavoratori a imprenditori. Tale elaborato si struttura in tre capitoli che si focalizzano rispettivamente sul tema della corporate governance in generale e sulla sua relazione con la performance e sulla partecipazione dei dipendenti nel board, sulla tematica del workers buyout che verrà ampiamente analizzata e discussa e, infine, su un’analisi empirica atta a comprendere e spiegare come fare questa transizione e le sue criticità e passaggi chiave.

Abstract:
La tesi riguarda il modello cooperativo, inteso sia come tipo di società e sia come forma archetipica di partecipazione sociale. La prima parte dell’elaborato, osservati gli sviluppi storici del fenomeno cooperativo, dà conto della disciplina applicabile all’impresa cooperativa, sottolineandone alcuni aspetti societari e tributari. L’analisi si concentra quindi sulle questioni relative alla figura del socio lavoratore e alla sua tutela, sul piano sostanziale e processuale, cui si aggiungono cenni di osservazioni empiriche sul ruolo delle cooperative nel tessuto socio-economico. L’osservazione si sposta poi, nella seconda parte dell’elaborato, alle vicende di insolvenza e crisi d’impresa, ipotizzando per la cooperativa una funzione di salvaguardia attiva dell’occupazione. In particolare, si indagano i fenomeni di recupero e autogestione delle imprese da parte dei lavoratori, sia rispetto ai casi di workers buyout, sia rispetto alle empresas recuperadas por sus trabajadores, sia infine relativamente alla declinazione italiana del fenomeno, che unisce la natura rivendicativa del recupero alla ricerca di legittimazione giuridica proprio tramite il modello cooperativo. A premessa, viene affrontato il tema della partecipazione, come cogestione attiva dei lavoratori e come paradigma costituzionale, valore che sarà approfondito nella terza parte dell’elaborato, dedicata all’osservazione della categoria dei beni comuni. Il tema dei beni comuni si sviluppa avendo riguardo delle elaborazioni sociologiche ed economiche, per fornirne poi la definizione giuridica ed evidenziarne il ruolo funzionale rispetto all’esercizio dei diritti fondamentali: su tale assunto si sostiene la configurabilità del modello cooperativo come paradigma partecipativo architrave nella società dei diritti.
This dissertation deals with cooperative models, in both their legal-societary and socio-economic frameworks. After some general remarks about the historical origins of the issue, the first section of the essay compares the legal outline of cooperative enterprises to the Rochdale social principles, such as the ones of open membership, democratic governance (“one person, one vote”), public and members education and cooperatives mutual interaction. Then, the essay deals with the peculiar dual nature of cooperative members, as they are both partners and workers at the same time. The second section of this dissertation examines the role of cooperatives in recovering employment relationships during enterprises crisis, through the analysis of workers buyout experiences. After some observations about how, in compulsory liquidation, bankruptcy logic prevails over the needs of workers, the essay focuses on the promotion of workers participation, not only in profits and enterprise results, but most of all in the decision-making process of the organisation. Finally, the third section aims to describe the commons, by evaluating whether cooperatives are able to ensure their democratic management. In particular, the essay analyzes the link between commons and rights, emphasizes the importance of participation (and the importance of the cooperative model too) in order to deal with new forms of social, economic, cultural, political rationalities.

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter examines how the period between 2004 and 2006 was marked by an explosion of open intellectual and ideological debate in China. By the early 2000s, an embryonic pan-leftist movement was taking root, and for all its ideological differences (and they were many), it was held together by a common lament—that the Communist Party was abandoning socialism and embracing economic growth at all costs, to the benefit of an elite few, at the expense of the majority, especially China’s workers and peasants. But if marginalization was drawing leftists together, technology was enabling them to communicate, and to share their message with a wider audience. Disenfranchised intellectuals and activists were turning to the internet to share and develop ideas, and to experience a sense of political participation in a political system that discouraged and punished activism. The chapter then looks at how the Beijing Utopia Cultural Communications Corporation Limited (“Utopia”) opened a bookstore in 2003 to provide “a meeting and discussion site for pan-Leftist scholars.” It also considers economist Lang Xianping’s speech at Fudan University, during which he accused some of China’s best-known entrepreneurs and companies of appropriating state assets under the guise of a type of legal acquisition known as a “management buyout” (MBO).

Abstract:
This chapter explores the major criticisms levelled at the private equity sector. It clarifies some misrepresentations and myths in the light of experience over the evolution of the market and the weight of systematic evidence summarized in this book. It is important to distinguish between analysis at the fund level and at the level of the underlying individual investments. The majority of studies in the finance literature are at the fund level and discuss private equity as an investment strategy. Analysis at the investment level is often done by case study, which always risks creating general conclusions from specific examples. The chapter then looks at areas which are under-researched. These areas include performance and returns; deal structures; the private equity process; new and secondary markets; and political environment.
