ECON S34 - Democratic Enterprises and Corporate Governance

Institution:

Bates College

Subject:

Description:

Democratic decision making, involving all the employees of a firm, represents a form of corporate governance that seems natural in a democratic society. Why, then, are so few firms governed in this manner After examining democratically managed firms in the former Yugoslavia, firms in the Mondragón community of Spain, and plywood cooperatives in the Pacific Northwest, this course explores the economic incentives and political forces that have shaped the dominant, nondemocratic form of corporate governance found in democratic societies. Prerequisite(s): Economics 101 and 103. Open to first-year students. C. Schwinn.
