Privatization has been widely promoted as a vehicle for increasing market participation and stimulating economic growth. There are, however, multiple legal and cultural models within which private property and ownership are constituted, and industries that inadequately manage those terrains have been proven to be particularly vulnerable. This project, which trains a graduate student in how to conduct rigorous, empirically grounded scientific fieldwork, explores what factors contribute to the success and durability of new economic ventures in contexts where legal and cultural regimes of property vary. The findings of this project will be disseminated to organizations and stakeholders involved in informing public policy aimed at enhancing the participation of underrepresented stakeholders in the economy, and developing improved inclusion in decision-making models, thus improving economic security. The research also fosters international scientific cooperation.Ognjen Kojanic, under the supervision of Dr. Robert M. Hayden of the University of Pittsburgh, will investigate whether ownership and private property constitute different analytical concepts within certain labor and industrial contexts, and what are the political economic, and cultural implications of that distinction. Looking at a worker-owned factory in Croatia, a site marked by emergent markets following entry into the European Union, this research has three objectives: (1) to track the transformation of concepts of property, (2) to explore the economic relations that emerge from worker-ownership to determine the corporate form being developed, and (3) to examine how workers articulate a political and economic ideology of ownership separate from those of property. Over the course of 12 months, Kojanic will conduct semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and archival research. This case study will contribute to the debate on property relations in social sciences by testing the analytic value of the underused concept of ownership, as differentiated from the concept of property.

私有化作为增加市场参与和刺激经济增长的手段得到了广泛的促进。但是，存在着构成私有财产和所有权的多种法律和文化模式，事实证明，对这些领域管理不当的工业特别容易受到伤害。本项目旨在培养一名研究生如何进行严谨的、以实证为基础的科学实地考察，探讨在财产法律和文化制度不同的背景下，哪些因素有助于新经济企业的成功和持久性。该项目的研究结果将传播给参与公共政策宣传的组织和利益相关者，旨在加强代表性不足的利益相关者对经济的参与，并改进决策模型的包容性，从而改善经济安全。这项研究还促进了国际科学合作。Ognjen Kojanic，在匹兹堡大学Robert M. Hayden博士的指导下，将调查所有权和私有财产是否在特定的劳动和工业背景下构成不同的分析概念，以及这种区别的政治、经济和文化含义是什么。以克罗地亚的一家工人所有的工厂为例，该工厂在加入欧盟后以新兴市场为标志，本研究有三个目标：(1)追踪财产概念的转变，(2)探索从工人所有权中产生的经济关系，以确定正在发展的公司形式，(3)研究工人如何阐明与财产分离的所有权的政治和经济意识形态。在12个月的时间里，Kojanic将进行半结构化访谈、参与者观察和档案研究。本案例研究将通过测试未充分利用的所有权概念的分析价值，从而有助于社会科学中关于财产关系的辩论，因为所有权概念与财产概念有所区别。
