Report for BIS providing evidence on the effects of employee ownership on business performance. Shows that employee-owned businesses have a stronger long-term focus, invest more in human capital, and have a greater preference for internal over external growth. However they also face greater problems when raising capital and dealing with regulatory requirements.
