Organisation and Governance of Enterprises in the Social Economy • CIRIEC International

“Organisation and Governance of Enterprises in the Social Economy” under the coordination of Marco Marini (La Sapienza University Rome, Italy) (marini@dis.uniroma1.it), Gani Aldashev (FUND, University of Namur, Belgium) (gani.aldashev@fundp.ac.be) et Michael Kopel (Graz University, Austria) (michael.kopel@uni-graz.at), 2013-2015 .

This working group led a discussion and organized discussion seminars on “Organisation and Governance of Enterprises in the Social Economy”. This group of some thirty experts from fifteen countries aims to increase understanding of the management practices adopted by the enterprises of the social economy by comparing them to those largely used in traditional enterprises. Based on theoretical analyses (socio-economic, psychological, based on theory of games, …) and surveys on the ground (econometric analyses, case studies, …), issues such as the remuneration of managers, motivation mechanisms, democratic organisation, network relations rather than hierarchical relations with interested parties, etc. are apprehended.

The results of this working group have been published in 2 issues of Annals of Public and Cooperative Economics.
