Companies that are employee-owned are commonly thought to be more profitable than are publicly-owned companies or companies with a single owner. If employees have a financial stake in the company, it is in their interest to work harder. If profit goes primarily to stockholders or a small group of owners, employees have less incentive to work hard. Yet, in a comparison of airline companies, Wingspan Airlines, which is entirely employee-owned, has recorded losses for the previous three quarters, whereas Longflite Airlines, which is owned by billionaire Martin Pearson, has recorded record profits for the previous three quarters. Which of the following, if true, best supports the conclusion that employee-owned companies are more profitable than are non-employee-owned companies?A. Wingspan Airlines has recently initiated routes to New Zealand, Australia, and Tahiti. B. Longflite Airlines has been owned by Martin Pearson for only six months. C. A cosmetics company that is entirely employee-owned has, in the last year, increased its market share by 18 percent. D. Profits recorded by Longflite Airlines include profits earned by a subsidiary that manufactures airplane parts, and because of a nationwide drop in airplane travel, all airline companies have chosen to repair their older planes rather than spend dwindling revenues on new planes. E. The employees of Wingspan Airlines voluntarily took pay cuts to give the company a chance to recover, and the employees of Longflite recently went on strike to protest poor working conditions.
