"...contains a great deal of data and some interesting ideas...a very good job of pointing out what is required to get maximum advantage of gain sharing and profit sharing, as well as the reasons for the failure of most of the plans." —PERSONNEL PSYCHOLOGY

This collection of essays deals with new developments in profit sharing, gain sharing, and other mechanisms for sharing the responsibility for economic performance with employees. The papers were first presented to a national conference on gain sharing and employee involvement at Wingspread in Wisconsin. Among the topics covered in the book are the history of and prospects for such compensation practices, as well as their use in labor-management relations, the strategic management of companies, executive compensation programs, and national economic policies. The papers are nontechnical and should be of interest to practitioners and students as well.
