We should get rid of this whole "C-" idea anyways.
Comes from rigid social ideas about how to organize companies, that tends to push down the importance of product and technology roles in favour of giving more social power to roles that in practice actually contribute way less.

"Efficiency in Employee-Owned Enterprises An Econometric Case Study of Mondragon"
http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0019793914564966
Just read this and it was pretty interesting. Appearently in the studied group of organizations, coops are about as efficient as capitalist businesses but without lay offs and extreme inequality. There was some lower job satisfaction possibly due to higher expectations. There was a small efficiency benefit in some customer service oriented organizations.
Try sci-hub if you don't have institutional access. ;)

Mondragon is run as a normal corporation, mostly. It's just named differently.

Can you elaborate? Some of that is treated in the linked article. They do comparisons between the coop, limited coop, and conventional portions of their sporting goods and supermarket chains.
