Abstract

Mondragon Corp. Cooperativa (MCC) is a conglomerate of more than 100 cooperatives in Basque Country, Spain. From 1996, MCC has pursued an internationalization strategy. As the company goes global, MCC's business model, based on trust and social involvement, seems to be threatened. Can MCC effectively become a global player while being truthful to the principles on which its past successes have been built?
