Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Codetermination is most prevalent in Germany, where it is known as Mitbestimmung. Under German law, large companies must have a two-tier board system consisting of a management board (Vorstand) and a supervisory board (Aufsichtsrat), which must include employee representatives. This system is seen as a way to promote transparency, avoid conflicts of interest, and ensure that worker perspectives are taken into account in decision-making. While codetermination is also practiced in other European countries such as Sweden and Italy, it is not as prevalent as in Germany. Japan and Mexico do not have mandatory codetermination laws.
