The results show that international expansion can radically transform the organizational architecture of co-ops and exacerbate dilemmas about how to put their hallmark values into practice. Moreover, the findings reveal a fragmented and inconsistent introduction of the cooperative model overseas. Work organization practices are homogeneous across the various sites, whereas job security, training, and pay equity practices are not. Core cooperative practices (i.e., employee participation in ownership, profit sharing, and general management) have not been implemented in any foreign operation. The study illustrates how market influences, institutions, and macro- and micro-politics shape the transfer of employment practices. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess All rights reserved http://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 2.198 2018 INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS & LABOR 8 / 27 = 0.296 2018 Q2 T1 2.263 2018 Management of Technology and Innovation 2018 Q1 Strategy and Management 2018 Q1 Organizational Behavior and Human Resource Management 2018 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Errasti, Anjel (orcid)0000-0003-1745-8037 Marcuello, Carmen Universidad de Zaragoza 4012 650 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
