A comparison with other conventional economic instruments is made, so in the case of individually applied as in the case of several mechanisms working together. Fourth chapter is an empirical study about the relationship between employee involvement, cooperatives and performance in the Spanish manufacture firms. An assessment will be made of the results obtained when shop floor participatory schemes are used. Next, cooperatives will be analysed to see if they achieve better performance measures than other types of companies. Finally, this investigation will attempt to ascertain whether the effectiveness of employee involvement practices varies according to whether they are introduced in a cooperative or a capitalist firm. Shop floor participation in both these kinds of companies will be analysed in order to detect any possible differences in outcome.
