Employee Ownership Advances in South Africa

South Africa held a conference on employee ownership hosted by the Industrial Development Corporation. Attendees represented many employee ownership companies, service providers to those companies, the government, and quasi-governmental agencies that support employee ownership. Much of the employee ownership in South Africa is driven by Black Economic Empowerment legislation, and participants explored ownership culture, financing alternatives, case studies, and began the formation of an employee ownership center for South Africa. Loren Rodgers and Corey Rosen of the NCEO were speakers.
