Summary: WorldCat Summary: "Joseph Blasi, Douglas Kruse, and Aaron Bernstein show how American companies would perform much better if they followed the lead of many high-tech firms and granted options to their entire workforce, rather than to just a tiny corporate elite. Using SEC data in a way never done before, they document the vast wealth executives have accumulated for themselves and show how the abuse of options has taken place not just at scandal-ridden companies such as Enron and WorldCom but across the entire reach of corporate America." "In the company of Owners argues that there's a better way. Broad employee ownership through stock options offers a new model for U.S. corporations and American capitalism. The authors explain how employees and shareholders alike would benefit if most large companies adopted what they call the partnership capitalism approach - using options to encourage employees to think and act like owners."--Jacket.
