Abstract

The organizations in general throughout their existence suffer a process of degeneration of the principles by which they were created. The same phenomenon happens to the organizations belonging to the Social Economy. In this respect, there also exists abundant Literature dealing with cooperatives. Nevertheless, in the Basque Country there are several cases in which they try to regenerate these companies, mainly cooperatives, trying to implement and to re-establish the principles and values by which they were created. Among these companies, some of them are of great relevance like Eroski Group, Irizar, S. Cooperativa and GBE-NER Group. These three groups will be analyzed in this research work.
