      For case studies on topics about employee ownership that ask you to examine a specific area, industry, geographical area author or year use the category search. There are seven research divisions in CLEO: discipline, industry, region, topic, product type, author name and publication year. More specific subcategories are also listed. For example, if you were examining the CLEO Principle in automobile manufacturing, you would first click on industry and then automobile manufacturing. This link will show you dozens of research articles to explore.
