a European Perspective

Six Statements
Social innovation is the key to a successful
knowledge economy
Social innovation requires new management
ESO can be an ultimate form of social innovation
ESO is not yet sufficiently practiced
The knowledge economy is challenged
It is time for action!
Social innovation and the knowledge
economy
employment in
knowledge based
industries (EU 15): 40%
Employees = main
asset
The battle for brain
power
75% of company
success by social
innovation
Social innovation and management
Liberal market economy: high management
ratio
Coordinated market economy: low
management ratio
Coordinated market economy: more
commitment and motivation
More commitment and motivation: higher
productivity growth and faster technological
progress
Employee share ownership
New forms of management: policies of
accommodation
Basics of ownership unchanged: employment
contract = hierarchical relation
But: 40% knowledge workers
Co-ownership/employee share ownership as
the ultimate form of social innovation
ESO not sufficiently practiced (yet?)
Low incidence of FP,
especially ESO
More in larger
companies
Multinationals: more
barriers, more
resources
Contradictory data
Much ado about nothing
or: growing interest?
Incidence of ESO: contradictory data
