76- Are employee-owned companies the future of business?

How can we best align the goals of employees and owners? It’s an age-old problem of a principal-agent relationship. But there is a promising trend that could really align incentives between employees and owners. It’s by making employees owners! We decided to invite two d.MBA alumni, Sandra Fernandez and Chris How to share how employee ownership works in their companies. We talked about: what even are employee-owned companies, what are the benefits and drawbacks for employees and companies, and the advice Sandra and Chris would give to others who are in the position to suggest or adopt the employee ownership program.   www.d.mba
