- Business @ the Speed of Thought : Using a Digital Nervous System
- Bill Gates, Collins Hemingway (Contributor)/ Hardcover 470 pages/ Published 1999 / Warner Books
So where do you want to go tomorrow? That's the question Bill Gates tries to
answer in Business @ the Speed of Thought. Gates offers a 12-step program for companies wanting to do business in the next millennium. The book's premise: Thanks to technology, the speed of business is accelerating at an ever-increasing rate, and to survive, it must develop an infrastructure--a "digital nervous system"--that allows for the unfettered movement of information inside a company. Gates writes that "The most meaningful way to differentiate your company from your competition ... is to do an outstanding job with information. How you gather, manage, and use information will determine whether you win or lose."The book is peppered with examples of companies that have already successfully engineered information networks to manage inventory, sales, and customer relationships better. The examples run from Coca-Cola's ability to download sales data from vending machines to Microsoft's own internal practices, such as its reliance on e-mail for company-wide communication and the conversion of most paper processes to digital ones (an assertion that seems somewhat at odds with the now-infamous "by hand on sheets of paper" method of tracking profits that was revealed during Microsoft's antitrust trial).

- Compensation : Effective Reward Management
- Rabindra N. Kanungo / Hardcover / Published 1992
- Compensation and Motivation : Maximizing Employee Performance With Behavior-Based Incentive Plans
- Thomas J. McCoy / Hardcover / Published 1992
Forward-thinking companies are waking up to the fact that compensation is not merely a
financial cost, but a powerful tool that can boost performance and profits at all levels of the
organization. Linking psychology and pay is both an art and a science, and Compensation and
Motivation is the first complete guide to this cutting-edge approach. For more than fifteen years,
author Thomas J. McCoy has improved the performance of organizations through improving the
performance of their employees. In these pages, he spells out the details of his innovative
Behavior-Based Incentive Compensation system (BBIC). You'll learn why you should replace
typical bonus and commission arrangements (which usually apply only to executives and sales
personnel) with performance-oriented, self-funding plans that truly empower every employee.
And, step by step, you'll learn how to identify your organization's needs; choose the best
behavioral and compensation elements to address those needs; combine those elements into an
incentive plan that will maximize performance and provide the best return for your
compensation dollar and your management efforts; manage the sometimes difficult transition
from fixed to variable compensation; balance the use of cash and noncash options; link incentive
compensation with teamwork and quality improvements (such as Total Quality Management) for
synergistic results; and measure your progress (using the Total Effectiveness Rating Model).
GTE, Frito Lay, Xerox, Coming, and Vista Chemical are just a few of the corporations that have
adopted the BBIC system as an attractive alternative to traditional compensation practices. This
book includes candid accounts of their experiences--information and insights gleaned from
McCoy's personal interviews--that will help you translate theory into practice as you design and
implement your own new compensation plan. Compensation and Motivation shows how to
apply the proven techniques of behaviorists such as Herzberg, Maslow, and Skinner without
taking your eye off the bottom line. Use this pioneering yet practical handbook to make
psychological and financial rewards work together at your company--perhaps for the first time.

increases in the federal minimum wage. In each case they present a battery of evidence showing
that increases in the minimum wage lead to increases in pay, but no loss in jobs.

- Public Employee Compensation and Its Role in Public Sector Strategic Management
- Gilbert B. Siegel / Hardcover / Published 1992
Beginning with the decade of the nineties, the idea of strategic management of government and
nonprofit organizations burst upon the scene. Traditionally, governments have been thought of as
being unchanging, resistant to change, or at most, changing by reaction to pressure. Strategic
management suggests both the idea of adaptation to change forces as well as defining mission
and concerting future organizational design and behavior accordingly, perhaps even changing the
environment. Work force management is an important dimension of this new approach. Both
direct and indirect compensation of this work force to achieve an array of possible objectives is
a critical aspect of work force management. The strategic approach to public organizations is
also concerned more than ever with obtaining optimal performance, however it may be defined.
Compensation, as a subset, is very much a part of this quest for organizational performance and
performance improvement. Thus, there is a linkage of subparts, each with many potential
alternatives; organizational mission/objectives, compensation objectives, compensation system
design, and the role of pay in obtaining desired type and levels of performance. This design
chain is the focus of this book.

- Understanding Performance Measures: An Approach to Linking Rewards to the Achievement of Organizational Objectives
- David W CCP Cheatham, et al / Hardcover / American Compensation Association
- Wage Determination and Distribution in Japan
- Toshiaki Tachibanaki / Hardcover / Published 1996
In this book, Professor Tachibanaki investigates the empirical and theoretical issues of wage
determination and wage differentials in Japan since the War, concentrating on recent
developments. He also examines the relationship between the role of wages and such features of
the labour market as employment and unemployment. Japan's institutional singularities -
including what the OECD called the 'Three Sacred Treasures of the Imperial Houses':
nenko-joretsu (seniority system), lifelong employment, and enterprise unionism - are
investigated on both efficiency and equity grounds. The Japanese authorities collect a great
variety of macroeconomic data, including data relating to the labour market which is categorized
according to a large number of demographic variables and firm characteristics. Professor
Tachibanaki reports and analyses the data that is publicly available, including the Ministry of
Labour's annual Wage Structure Survey of over one million employees, enriching it with his
own research observations. An introduction to the main characteristics of the labour market,
industrial relations systems, and wages in Japan, explaining the degree of difference from
Europe and the USA, establishes a framework for labour economists relatively new to the study
of Japan. Detailed explanations of wage determination according to sex, age, education,
experience, occupation, size of firm, and performance take the reader beyond stylized
assumptions about average behaviour in Japan.
