Abstract

In the last decades of the twentieth century, many cooperatives belonging to the Mondragon cooperative group began to pursue a strategy of international growth that has transformed the original local cooperatives into multinational groups. But how much is the organization model of Mondragon foreign affiliates influenced by the "cooperative principles" of the parent? Can one detect the distinctive characteristics of Mondragon companies in its affiliates? These questions are at the heart of this article examining the Mondragon cooperative-multinational subsidiaries in China, where most of the Mondragon subsidiaries are concentrated. We analyze the content of the cross-border transfer of knowledge and standards from Mondragon to the subsidiaries in areas like technology, management practices and industrial relations. The study will enable us to see to what extent the practices in Mondragon»s Chinese affiliates dovetail the values, mission and proclamations of Mondragon cooperatives and to what extent they reflect the practices and the values of the traditional multinationals.
