but I think in these times strong Co-Determination laws, which change the corporate structure would be very very positive,
On what do you base this belief? Very very positive? Sounds like your emotions are talking. Or, you must mean there is strong evidence out there that a nations economy (not just a single corporation) would receive very very positive performance improvements as a result of these co-determination laws? I applaud you for being very specific (Finally?), on what change you champion. Assuming you're not looking to just get a foot in the door and slipper-slope it over to your other goals.
To support your position, I'd approach it as follows. If a co-determination law applies to only larger companies, and only gives a voice and some authority, but majority authority still resides with owners/board (whatever the current system is), there is some merit to it in my opinon. The issue is that right now we're free to do that, but employees naturally would feel their job was at risk if they were to organize in any way, which is probably true in enough cases that matter. Which is why you'd need a law to protect them, and to attempt to make it the culture of the business community overall. But it's not necessarily about efficiency first, it's about some amount of adequate representation by labor, that doesn't approach union corruption and power, but also isn't only a token gesture. The real issue that this can be claimed to address is inadequate feedback from labor to management. Systems as complex as business with people involved, must have healthy feedback mechanisms. If employees are too robotic (or worse, fearful) and as a result never raise issues, champion changes, etc., that feedback loop is for practical purposes, missing. The business leaders may enjoy that, I mean, it's like a family where the kids don't speak until spoken to, and the wife never questions the husband...there is a certain primal euphoria in that. And a certain number of people in every nation that pine for that old family structure, and no doubt likely prefer it in their business "Family" as well. But I think best business practice always points to feedback systems being essential for overall improvement.
Today, employees may enjoy exactly what you want, but its at the whim of their employer. Making it the norm and a requirement, rather than whim, appears to be your goal.
Or to put it another way that strums the heartstrings of American business sentiment...if decentralization is good, if central authority and power consolidation leads to inefficiency and inflexibility, and the public school system should be decentralized, why not corporations as well?
, that's not really what debate forums are for.
