and as a whole?
• Is there competition between the various schemes for company democracy
and participation?
• How is the relationship between collective information and discussion
rules?
• How is participation and co-determination followed up in and by the
companies and their employees, including the participation and
co-determination schemes imposed by authorities?
• Are there big differences in practice amongst different parts of working
life, e.g. variations between trades/sectors etc.?
• How have the various forms for participation and co-determination
developed over time?
• What evaluations are made by the involved actors as regards advantages
and disadvantages, benefits and costs etc. of participation and
co-determination in general and of the legally imposed schemes in
particular?
• Which possible needs for change are expressed from the different actors?
