Entrepreneurship as the Basis for Creating Employee- Owned Companies
An Instrument for Social Innovation
Purpose: To show the results of a study that intended to analyze to what extent not only the creation of businesses in general, but also the creation of employee- owned companies in particular, is promoted in primary and secondary education. Topics: It aims to delve into the analysis of the existing correlation among initiatives developed under cooperative forms in cooperative education centers with two more ambitious goals. First, to see whether they promote, to a greater extent, the creation of cooperatives and employee-owned companies compared to other schools that are not cooperatives. Second, to know at the university level the influence cooperative education centers may have in the possible creation of companies under the legal forms of cooperatives and employee-owned companies. Development: The need for a clear coordination of subjects and skills at all educational levels in terms of entrepreneurship has been confirmed. Conclusions: It is important to encourage the creation and implementation of cooperative business projects at lower levels of education, and that the university (entrepreneurship technical support offices and faculty) completes the process of supporting and monitoring these projects by providing advice and training.
