Done right, employee ownership can transform a company, improving performance and accelerating growth. It can create a sustained competitive advantage, driving business success that builds wealth for founders, investors and employee-shareholders alike. The Beyster Institute at UC San Diego’s Rady School of Management works to advance the understanding and practice of employee ownership as an effective and responsible business model. We focus on education, research and consulting to promote employee ownership and the creation of effective ownership cultures. We serve companies interested in the employee ownership business strategy, business owners looking to transition out of their companies and professional advisers who want to better serve their clients by gaining employee ownership knowledge.
