Values at Work is an analysis of organizational dynamics with
wide-ranging implications in an age of market globalization. It
looks at the challenges businesses face to maintain people-oriented
work systems while remaining successful in the larger economy.
George Cheney revisits the famous Mondragon
worker-owned-and-governed cooperatives in the Basque Country of
Spain to examine how that collection of innovative and democratic
businesses is responding to the broad trend of "marketization."
The Mondragon cooperatives are changing in important ways as a
direct result of both external pressures to be more competitive and
the rise of consumerism, as well as through the modification of
internal policies toward greater efficiency. One of the most
remarkable aspects of the changes is that some of the same business
slogans now heard around the globe are being adopted in this set of
organizations renowned for its strongly held internal values, such
as participatory democracy, solidarity, and equality. Instead of
emphasizing the special or unique qualities of the Mondragon
experience, this book demonstrates the case's relevance to trends
in all sectors and across the industrialized world."
