The ten case studies are vivid, the analysis crisp, and the implications compelling. A 'must-read' for any business that is exploring this innovative governance and motivational approach."

— Perry Phillips, President of ESOP Builders Inc., and Author of Employee Share Ownership Plans: How to Design and Implement an ESOP in Canada
"By telling the fascinating stories of ten employee ownership companies in Canada, Employee Ownership paints a vivid portrait of their trials, tribulations, their failures and successes. A rich source of insight, the book is useful reading for anyone wanting a realistic flavour of the employee ownership experience and wanting to understand that phenomenon."
— Dr. Richard J. Long, Ph.D., Professor of Industrial Relations and Organizational Behaviour, University of Saskatchewan
"Employee Ownership may not be the panacea for today's business but this book does provide good examples of how it can deliver big benefits for employees and their companies. Carol Beatty and Harvey Schachter have done a superb job of spelling out the benefits but also of pointing to the pitfalls. The case studies make for great reading."

Employee Ownership: The New Source of Competitive Advantage vividly describes the advantages, challenges, disappointments, and triumphs of managers and employees of ten Canadian companies that have made the transition to employee ownership. It will serve as both inspiration and a roadmap to others looking for a new source of competitive advantage.
