What is CLEO
CLEO, the Curriculum Library on Employee Ownership, (CLEO), is an online repository of teaching and background materials on employee ownership. Employee ownership first generated attention among business academics when the phenomenon came to prominence in the 1970s. Since then, many case studies and numerous research studies have demonstrated the conditions under which employee ownership can work more and less effectively. Employee ownership offers an interesting perspective into “the theory of the firm” and the ongoing debate over stakeholder and shareholder participation and responsibility. Historically, employee ownership has been explored most extensively in accounting and entrepreneurship courses. However, the positive outcomes generated by the creation of “ownership cultures” at many companies offer lessons for other disciplines as well. Please visit the CLEO homepage for more information.
