摘要
This article presents a case study of the rise and fall of the Mondragon cooperative Fagor Electrodomesticos (1959-2013). Fagor, after playing a key role in the creation of the Mondragon cooperative experience, had been transformed into a multinational corporation competing in the global home appliance market. Given Fagor's role as a leading cooperative, the general question of the viability of workers' cooperatives is also at stake in its failure.
