The means whereby employees may have a share
in the decisions taken by the firm in which
they work, and, therefore, a share of
responsibility for its success or failure. In
1975 the government led by Harold Wilson
appointed a Commission of Inquiry on
Industrial Democracy, chaired by Sir Alan
Bullock. The Bullock Report, published in
1977, produced an explicit model for adoption
by company boards but its suggestions were
never taken seriously by British management.
Although there are a small number of firms in
Britain that operate some form of industrial
democracy, it is in European countries,
particularly Sweden and West Germany, that
the most successful examples are to be found.
