Employee Ownership in Education
- Out of a sample of 30,000 business school cases developed over the past 30 years, there are only approximately 40 that address employee ownership (EO), and usually those cover only one aspect—be it options, employee stock option plans (ESOP), etc.
- Outside of the Beyster Institute at University of California San Diego’s (UCSD) Rady School of Management, we know of no other business school in the U.S. with an entire course dedicated to EO.
- In entrepreneurship centers, education and promotion of venture-backed enterprises is still very dominant. We are working to provide education on more ownership by employees.
- Considering the information above and the fact that over 50% of U.S. employees in the private sector have some form of shared capitalism, there is a large gap between what is practiced and what is taught. The FED aims to understand and close this gap.
