Summary:We have been asked to compare and contrast the Norwegian system of industrial democracy with the Mondragon federated corporation of worker cooperatives to arrive at a realistic appraisal of what can be learned from both systems and to discern the lessons to be learned for other nations and other initiatives. In doing so, the kinds of lessons that are needed for the emerging system of broad-based employee share ownership and industrial participation in the United States will be introduced as a part of our analysis. We are hoping that our colleagues and readers can benefit from the books and empirical research sponsored by Rutgers University's Institute for the Study of Employee Ownership and Profit Sharing (1) and our sister Journal of Participation and Employee Ownership (2). Keywords: employee ownership, ESOP, worker cooperative, Employee Stock Ownership Plan Se nos ha pedido que comparemos y contrastemos el sistema noruego de democracia industrial con la corporacion federada de cooperativas de trabajadores de Mon-dragon para llegar auna evaluacion realista de lo que se puede aprender de ambos sistemas y discernir las lecciones que se pueden aprender para otras naciones y otras iniciativas. Al hacerlo, se presentaran como parte de nuestro analisis los tipos de lecciones que se necesitan para el sistema emergente de participacion industrial y propiedad accionaria de los empleados de base amplia en los Estados Unidos. Esperamos que nuestros colegas y lectores puedan beneficiarse de los libros y la investigacion empirica patrocinados por el Instituto para el Estudio de la Propiedad de los Empleados y el Reparto de Utilidades de la Universidad de Rutgers y nuestra publicacion hermana Journal of Participation and Employee Ownership. Palabras clave: propiedad de los trabajadores, programas/planes de propiedad accionarial de los trabajadores, PPAT, cooperativas de trabajadores
