How Did Employee Ownership Firms Weather The Last Two Recessions?: Employee Ownership, Employment Stability, And Firm Survival In The United States: 1999-2011, Fidan Ana Kurtulus, Douglas L. Kruse

In particular, they focus on broad-based employee ownership, which includes ownership at all levels in the firm’s hierarchy.
