Synopsis
This book takes a broad look at how to use incentives, ranging from stock options to cash bonuses to gainsharing, to motivate and reward employees in dynamic companies that seek to create a more productive "ownership" culture. Using both technical discussions and case studies, it explores incentives both as self-sufficient tools and as complements to retirement-oriented plans such as employee stock ownership plans (ESOPs). Specific topics covered by individual chapters include stock incentives in entrepreneurial growth companies, how incentives fit into the "Great Game of Business," communicating short-term incentives to employees, performance-based stock options, gainsharing and the Scanlon plan, the incentive programs at employee-owned Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), how to correctly design a cash incentive program, and more.
