Sinopsis

This chapter examines an important employee ownership experience outside the
Americas, but one that could usefully inform experiences in the Americas. It presents
a summary of the Mondragon Corporation, its history, current structure, and ongoing
challenges and dilemmas, as well as an introduction to one of its member companies,
Soraluce, a worker cooperative in the machine tool sector. We review Soraluce’s business
trajectory, organizational changes, recent educational efforts directed at fortifying both
the business and its shared ownership identity, along with preliminary empirical data
on the outcomes of these efforts.
