“…Different studies have shown that shareholder activism can have a positive impact on company performance and behavior. Shareholder primacy is clearly the hegemonic position, and yet there is nothing to keep activist shareholders, who are becoming more and more aware of the problems that humanity is facing, from promoting different ways of acting that align more closely with what society at large expects (Remacha, 2017).…”

The idea of employee ownership is not new and has existed since at least the mid-19th century. Yet, it remains a lesser-known business model in the economy at large. There are many myths and misunderstandings around what employee ownership is, and what it can achieve. We address these misconceptions by reviewing a growing body of research that contrary to common assumptions demonstrates that employee ownership garners broad political support, individuals working at employee-owned companies experience a higher level of economic well-being, and firms who adopt its varied models have better performance outcomes. The goal of this chapter is to provide academics, economic development officials, and business owners a solid, evidence-based understanding from which to explore, and put into practice, employee ownership.

Shared capitalism proposes that employees’ revenues or wealth are directly related to a firms’ performance, while they participate in the organizational decision-making processes as well (Kruse et al., 2010). Employee stock ownership, one of the mechanisms of shared capitalism, can be implemented through different ways including Employee Stock Purchase Plans (espp). This paper examines such plans offered to Peruvian employees by three French companies. Previous literature has documented that espps’ participation and investment are undermined by four factors: liquidity constraint, imperfect knowledge of information, asset choice, and transaction costs. We highlight the actions developed by these three companies to limit the effect of these four factors and thus stimulate employee participation and investment in their company’s shares. We also identify other important elements of participation.
