SU's Shipper Presents During Rutgers University Unions and Worker Ownership Conference
SALISBURY, MD---The Maryland Brush Co. survived the turbulent 1990s by reorganizing as an employee-owned company under a partnership with United Steel Workers, according to Dr. Frank Shipper, Salisbury University professor emeritus of management and marketing.
Shipper presented about the company and its success under employee ownership during the Rutgers University School of Management and Labor Relations’ recent Unions and Worker Ownership Conference in Washington, D.C.
Shipper and his colleagues in SU’s Franklin P. Perdue School of Business published a case study on the business, then known as MBC Ventures, Inc., in the 2014 Palgrave Macmillan book Shared Entrepreneurship: A Path to Engaged Employee Ownership.
The work of SU’s management and marketing faculty in studying employee-owned companies is widely recognized. Individuals from over 150 countries have used their research. It also has been presented multiple times at the Business Fights Poverty conference at the University of Oxford, England, at the Beyster Institute at the University of California San Diego and at Rutgers. In addition, Shipper was an invited keynote speaker at the Haier Group’s Rendanheyi Model Forum in Qingdao, China.
Their research also has been referenced by national media, including MSNBC and The Wall Street Journal, and featured in the Rutgers School of Management and Labor Relations’ Curriculum Library for Employee Ownership, the largest global online library on employee ownership.
Multiple grants and awards to continue their work have been received, including Rutgers’ prestigious Kevin E. Ruble Fellowship.
