In this article we examine the second of these tasks and discuss how corporate performance should be modeled and managed.

Next we describe the structure recommended by the authors for a corporate planning, control and evaluation system, the most important part of a corporate performance management system. The core component of the planning system is the corporate performance evaluation model, the structure of which is mapped into the planning system’s database, simulation models and budgeting tools’ structures, and also used to shape information contained in the system’s products, besides being the nucleus of the language used by the system’s agents to talk about corporate performance. The ontology of planning, the guiding principles of corporate planning and the history of ”MADE”, the corporate performance management system discussed in this article, are reviewed next, before we proceed to discuss in detail the structural components of the corporate planning and control system introduced before. We conclude the article by listing the main steps which should be followed when implementing a performance planning, control and evaluation system for a company.1.IntroductionTwo of the most important corporate tasks for which a chief executive officer is p rimarily responsible are (1) to formulate strategy and (2) to manage the company’s performance. In this article we examine the second of these tasks and discuss howcorporate performance should be modeled and managed.To perform is to accomplish, to achieve (desired) results or outcomes. So, when talking about corporate performance, we are referring to the degree by which desired results or outcomes are achieved by a company. Managing corporate performance involves planning, controlling, analyzing and evaluating, not only the results achieved by the company, but also the means by which these results are reached. Among the results, or goals, pursued by most companies we can mention growth, market share, profitability and value creation; and the means to achieve these results include productivity, effectiveness, innovation and competitiveness. Those are the type of things we should have in mind when specifying a corporate performance management system.Before discussing how to model corporate performance, it is convenient to consider the environment in which a company operates, which includes, besides outside stakeholders, the industry it belongs and the market it supplies. The main aspects of an industry to be looked at when considering its influence on corporate performance are structure and regulation, the main competitors, entry barriers, substitute products and supplier’s negotiating power. Associated questions are: How production is organized, vertically or horizontally? How much competitive is the industry and who are the main competitors, those that capture the largest part of the market share? Is it unregulated, self-regulated or regulated by a government agency? How strong are barriers to the entry of new competitors? Can products from other industries function as substitutes for the ones produced in the industry? What about the power industry suppliers have when negotiating prices and trade conditions?At the opposite side of the industry in the corporate environment we have the market where the company trades its products, its main attributes being size, growth rate, segmentation, exit barriers and consumers’ negotiating power. Typical questions that should be asked when assessing its effect on corporate performance are: What is the market size, in dol lars, for each of the company’s products? What are the short-term and long-term market growth rates? Is it a wholesale or a retail market? Are the sales cyclical? How can the market be segmented (by geography, purchasingpower, customer age, etc.)? Which barriers does a client run into when changing suppliers? Do clients have the power to impose prices and trade conditions?We call the people who have interest in or are affected by a company’s performance its “stakeholders”,and group them in the categories of “insiders” and “outsiders”. The insiders are the company’s entrepreneurs or controlling shareholders and its managers and employees. The outsiders include customers, suppliers, minority shareholders, debt holders, the government in its roles of public goods supplier, regulator and tax collector, and also the communities where the company does business. It is important to note that stakeholders, besides being affected by, also influence corporate performance and it is often necessary to search for the effects of this influence when appraising performance.That is meant to increase the depth of this brief analysis of corporate structure and external relations.Microeconomic theory considers the company as a social production unit that uses a certain technology to produce a set of outputs from a set of inputs. The function that maps input quantities into maximum output quantities obtainable from the inputs is called the “production function”or “production frontier”. Knowledge of this function is important for measuring the technical efficiency of a production unit, a very significant performance metric. Several techniques exist for the specification of production functions or frontiers, grouped under the names of “Data Envelopment Analysis” and “Stochastic Frontier Analysis”.Companies are created by entrepreneurs, the agents that organize and coordinate production with the help of professional managers. Entrepreneurs play a crucial role in shaping corporate performance. On one side, recognized entrepreneurial capacity ─and also large contact networks ─ are vital for raising the financial capital necessary to build structural or physical capital. On another side, the entrepreneurs’ reputation and contacts are essential to attract the intellectual capital that, together with the structural capital, is the foundation of innovation capacity .A business model is a conceptual representation of the way a company does business. Its main components, are: the company’s value proposition; the targeted market segments; the distribution, marketing communications, and customerrelationship channels; the core competencies needed; operating and management technologies; the partners’ network; and the revenue, cost and value creation models. Understanding the business model is the first step to implement a corporate performance management system. The model should indicate whether the company has a broad customer base or targets specific market segments, and in the second case, identify these segments. The goods and services provided by the company and the commercial conditions under which they are sold (including such things as guarantees, technical assistance, etc.), comprise the value proposition. The channel used for product distribution can be a direct-tocustomer sales channel through the Internet, or be comprised of bricks and mortar companyowned stores, wholesale agents, retail companies, etc. The company can use several marketing channels to get messages through to its customers, such as TV and printed media, and employ a call center to give support and receive complaints and suggestions from them. Core competencies are the ones the company needs to master in order to gain a competitive advantage in relation to other companies in the same marketplace. These competencies should rest on proper operational and management technologies, and be supplemented by a network of partners, if necessary. As a final point, a business model must include a revenue, a cost and a value creation model in order to be profitable to the company’s shareholders.We can think of the operational model of a company as encompassing an organizational model, a functional model and a corporate data model . The organizational model depicts, in an inverted hierarchical tree, the roles of the agents involved in the compa ny’s operation. The func tional model portrays all the activities that together form the whole to which we refer by the expression “company’s operations”, structured in logical, sequential steps forming operational processes. At last, the corporate data model is an entity-relationship diagram that shows the main entities about which the company collects data with its attributes and the relationships between them.The last model we need to examine in order to understand the functioning of a corporation is the performance management model it uses, which is, in general,composed of four building blocks. The corporate governance system, the corporate performance planning, control and evaluation system, the individual managers performance planning, control and evaluation system and the management variable compensation system (or bonus system). The corporate governance system comprises three well known actors, the chief executive officer, the directors and the shareholders, and is designed to mediate the relations between them. Under the governance system, we find two planning and control systems, having as its targets the performance of the company (as a whole and of its divisions) and the performance of its individual managers, respectively. Linking these two systems we find a compensation system that assigns fractions of a bonus pool, which is a function of the aggregate company performance, to its managers on the basis of their individual performances. An effective management model should be forward-looking, that is, centered on the improvement of future performance, and focused on value creation.A thorough understanding of all the models described above is a necessary prerequisite for one to be able to plan, monitor, analyze, evaluate and control corporate performance. In the next section we will examine in more detail a crucial component of the management model previously described: the corporate performance planning, control and evaluation system.2. The Corporate Performance Planning, Control and Evaluation System.That shows the structure recommended by the authors for a corporate planning, control and evaluation system, the most important part of a corporate performance management system. The core component of the planning system, as can be deduced from its central position in the mentioned figure, is the performance evaluation model. The structure of this model is mapped into the system’s database, simulation models and budgeting tools’ structures, and also used to shape information contained in the system’s p roducts, besides being the nucleus of the language used by the system’s agents to talk about corporate performance. The corporate planning and control process is formed by the coordinated actions of the planning and control agents, whose aim is the generat ion of the system’s outputs, which include assumptions, goals, forecasts, plans, budgets, investment projects, performance valuations, varianceanalysis, etc. These products take the form of paper and electronic documents and spreadsheets, and of PowerPoint presentations. The agents follow an agreed upon time schedule and rely on a business intelligence (BI) software to support their actions. The BI software implements the performance evaluation model for the purposes of representing and simulating corporate performance and provides the necessary tools for the system’s agents to produce the system’s outputs. Data used by the system comes from the accounting and other corporate databases. In the following sections of this article we will examine in detail each of the aforementioned planning system components.Before proceeding, however, we will make a pause to discuss the ontology of planning. One can readily identify in this figure three major structures: the strategic, the motivation and the action frameworks. In the strategic framework, which is chiefly related to the risk versus return dialectics, we can identify the external influences to corporate performance, comprising both opportunities and threats, and the internal ones, materialized by strengths and weaknesses. Suppliers and consumers negotiating power, entry and exit barriers, competitors and substitute products are the main determinants of external influences. Technological change has also a pervasive influence on corporate performance. Comparing the motivation (ends) and action (means) frameworks, we can associate various levels or layers in which corporate aims are defined to the corresponding action classes, that is, vision to mission, long term goals to strategy, short term goals to tactics and actual results to actual actions. Policy and business rules are restrictions under which strategy and tactics, respectively, must be formulated, and actual action carried out.It may be convenient, at this point, to give a general definition of the terms “planning” and “control”.Corporate planning is a process by which management define the desired future performance of a corporation, and identify and decide on the actions that need to be taken in order to achieve that performance. The main steps comprising a planning cycle are exposed . Corporate control, on the other hand, is an operational process which aims to check whether the actual performance is in accordance with the planned one, and, eventually, to modify the planned actions inorder to guarantee that the final desired performance will be met. The corporate budget is one of the most important outputs of the corporate planning and control process. It is the prime management tool used to improve corporate performance and to align management interests with those of the shareholders. We can conclude this section by stating the nine guiding principles of corporate planning and control:i. Planning is concerned in first place with results and in second place with the means to achieve these results.ii. Planning is concerned with the present value of costs and benefits to be incurred in the future as a consequence of decisions undertaken in the present.iii. The main objective of planning is to create value for the corporation’s shareholders.iv. For the ab ove goal to be met, it is necessary to fulfill customers’ expectations concerning quantity, price and quality of marketed products at the least possible cost, and to maintain a skilled and fully motivated workforce.v. Planning and control activities should be organized through a system whose components are the planning and control agents, process, time schedule, products, models & tools, and database.vi. The corporate budget should be the planning and control system’s product that consolidates the results which the company plans to achieve in the next period and the actions it should undertake in order to meet them.vii. The corporate budget must contain all the information necessary for the evaluation of the short term planned performance of the company, its marketing, operational, economic, patrimonial and financial aspects being dully considered.viii. The corporate budget should not be viewed exclusively as a means of cost reduction or control, but mainly as a tool to enhance performance and increase the company’s economic value.ix. The planning process in itself is as important as its outputs, and should contribute to leverage management’s knowledge about the company’s internal workings, and also to help focus its efforts on the critical areas of corporate performance.Source:Pedro Góes Monteiro de Oliveira STARPLAN Consultoria Empresarial Ltda. ,2009. “Corporate Performance Management” .

企业资金管理中英文对照外文翻译文献(文档含英文原文和中文翻译)An Analysis of Working Capital Management Results Across IndustriesAbstractFirms are able to reduce financing costs and/or increase the fund s available for expansion by minimizing the amount of funds tied upin current assets. We provide insights into the performance of surv eyed firms across key components of working capital management by usi ng the CFO magazine’s annual Working CapitalManagement Survey. We discover that significant differences exist b etween industries in working capital measures across time.In addition.w e discover that these measures for working capital change significantl y within industries across time.IntroductionThe importance of efficient working capital management is indisputa ble. Working capital is the difference between resources in cash or readily convertible into cash (Current Assets) and organizational commi tments for which cash will soon be required (Current Liabilities). Th e objective of working capital management is to maintain the optimum balance of each of the working capital components. Business viabilit y relies on the ability to effectively manage receivables. inventory.a nd payables. Firms are able to reduce financing costs and/or increase the funds available for expansion by minimizing the amount of funds tied up in current assets. Much managerial effort is expended in b ringing non-optimal levels of current assets and liabilities back towa rd optimal levels. An optimal level would be one in which a balance is achieved between risk and efficiency.A recent example of business attempting to maximize working capita l management is the recurrent attention being given to the applicatio n of Six Sigma®methodology. Six S igma®methodologies help companies measure and ensure quality in all areas of the enterprise. When used to identify and rectify discrepancies.inefficiencies and erroneous tra nsactions in the financial supply chain. Six Sigma®reduces Days Sale s Outstanding (DSO).accelerates the payment cycle.improves customer sati sfaction and reduces the necessary amount and cost of working capital needs. There appear to be many success stories including Jennifertwon’s(2002) report of a 15percent decrease in days that sales are outstanding.resulting in an increased cash flow of approximately $2 million at Thibodaux Regional Medical Cenrer.Furthermore bad debts declined from 3.4millin to $6000000.However.Waxer’s(2003)study of multiple firms employing Six Sig ma®finds that it is really a “get rich slow”technique with a r ate of return hovering in the 1.2 – 4.5 percent range.Even in a business using Six Sigma®methodology. an “optimal”level of working capital management needs to be identified. Industry factors may impa ct firm credit policy.inventory management.and bill-paying activities. S ome firms may be better suited to minimize receivables and inventory. while others maximize payables. Another aspect of “optimal”is the extent to which poor financial results can be tied to sub-optimal pe rformance.Fortunately.these issues are testable with data published by CFO magazine. which claims to be the source of “tools and informati on for the financial executive.”and are the subject of this resear ch.In addition to providing mean and variance values for the working capital measures and the overall metric.two issues will be addressed in this research. One research question is. “are firms within a p articular industry clustered together at consistent levels of working capital measures?For instance.are firms in one industry able to quickl y transfer sales into cash.while firms from another industry tend to have high sales levels for the particular level of inventory . The other research question is. “does working capital management perform ance for firms within a given industry change from year-to-year?”The following section presents a brief literature review.Next.the r esearch method is described.including some information about the annual Working Capital Management Survey published by CFO magazine. Findings are then presented and conclusions are drawn.Related LiteratureThe importance of working capital management is not new to the f inance literature. Over twenty years ago. Largay and Stickney (1980) reported that the then-recent bankruptcy of W.T. Grant. a nationwide chain of department stores.should have been anticipated because the co rporation had been running a deficit cash flow from operations for e ight of the last ten years of its corporate life.As part of a stud y of the Fortune 500s financial management practices. Gilbert and Rei chert (1995) find that accounts receivable management models are used in 59 percent of these firms to improve working capital projects.wh ile inventory management models were used in 60 percent of the compa nies.More recently. Farragher. Kleiman and Sahu (1999) find that 55 p ercent of firms in the S&P Industrial index complete some form of a cash flow assessment. but did not present insights regarding account s receivable and inventory management. or the variations of any curre nt asset accounts or liability accounts across industries.Thus.mixed ev idence exists concerning the use of working capital management techniq ues.Theoretical determination of optimal trade credit limits are the s ubject of many articles over the years (e.g. Schwartz 1974; Scherr 1 996).with scant attention paid to actual accounts receivable management.Across a limited sample. Weinraub and Visscher (1998) observe a tend ency of firms with low levels of current ratios to also have low l evels of current liabilities. Simultaneously investigating accounts rece ivable and payable issues.Hill. Sartoris.and Ferguson (1984) find diffe rences in the way payment dates are defined. Payees define the date of payment as the date payment is received.while payors view paymen t as the postmark date.Additional WCM insight across firms.industries.a nd time can add to this body of research.Maness and Zietlow (2002. 51. 496) presents two models of value creation that incorporate effective short-term financial management acti vities.However.these models are generic models and do not consider uni que firm or industry influences. Maness and Zietlow discuss industry influences in a short paragraph that includes the observation that. “An industry a company is located in may have more influence on th at company’s fortunes than overall GNP”(2002. 507).In fact. a car eful review of this 627-page textbook finds only sporadic information on actual firm levels of WCM dimensions.virtually nothing on industr y factors except for some boxed items with titles such as. “Should a Retailer Offer an In-House Credit Card”(128) and nothing on WC M stability over time. This research will attempt to fill this void by investigating patterns related to working capital measures within industries and illustrate differences between industries across time.An extensive survey of library and Internet resources provided ver y few recent reports about working capital management. The most relev ant set of articles was Weisel and Bradley’s (2003) article on cash flow management and one of inventory control as a result of effect ive supply chain management by Hadley (2004).Research Method The CFO RankingsThe first annual CFO Working Capital Survey. a joint project with REL Consultancy Group.was published in the June 1997 issue of CFO (Mintz and Lezere 1997). REL is a London. England-based management co nsulting firm specializing in working capital issues for its global l ist of clients. The original survey reports several working capital b enchmarks for public companies using data for 1996. Each company is ranked against its peers and also against the entire field of 1.000 companies. REL continues to update the original information on an a nnual basis.REL uses the “cash flow from operations”value located on firm cash flow statements to estimate cash conversion efficiency (CCE). T his value indicates how well a company transforms revenues into cash flow. A “days of working capital”(DWC) value is based on the d ollar amount in each of the aggregate.equally-weighted receivables.inven tory.and payables accounts. The “days of working capital”(DNC) repr esents the time period between purchase of inventory on acccount fromvendor until the sale to the customer.the collection of the receiva bles. and payment receipt.Thus.it reflects the companys ability to fin ance its core operations with vendor credit. A detailed investigation of WCM is possible because CFO also provides firm and industry val ues for days sales outstanding (A/R).inventory turnover.and days payabl es outstanding (A/P).Research FindingsAverage and Annual Working Capital Management Performance Working capital management component definitions and average values for the entire 1996 –2000 period .Across the nearly 1.000 firms in the survey.cash flow from operations. defined as cash flow from operations divided by sales and referred to as “cash conversion ef ficiency”(CCE).averages 9.0 percent.Incorporating a 95 percent confide nce interval. CCE ranges from 5.6 percent to 12.4 percent. The days working capital (DWC). defined as the sum of receivables and invent ories less payables divided by daily sales.averages 51.8 days and is very similar to the days that sales are outstanding (50.6).because the inventory turnover rate (once every 32.0 days) is similar to the number of days that payables are outstanding (32.4 days).In all ins tances.the standard deviation is relatively small.suggesting that these working capital management variables are consistent across CFO report s.Industry Rankings on Overall Working Capital Management Perfo rmanceCFO magazine provides an overall working capital ranking for firms in its ing the following equation:Industry-based differences in overall working capital management are presented for the twenty-s ix industries that had at least eight companies included in the rank ings each year.In the typical year. CFO magazine ranks 970 companies during this period. Industries are listed in order of the mean ove rall CFO ranking of working capital performance. Since the best avera ge ranking possible for an eight-company industry is 4.5 (this assume s that the eight companies are ranked one through eight for the ent ire survey). it is quite obvious that all firms in the petroleum in dustry must have been receiving very high overall working capital man agement rankings.In fact.the petroleum industry is ranked first in CCE and third in DWC (as illustrated in Table 5 and discussed later i n this paper).Furthermore.the petroleum industry had the lowest standar d deviation of working capital rankings and range of working capital rankings. The only other industry with a mean overall ranking less than 100 was the Electric & Gas Utility industry.which ranked secon d in CCE and fourth in DWC. The two industries with the worst work ing capital rankings were Textiles and Apparel. Textiles rank twenty-s econd in CCE and twenty-sixth in DWC. The apparel industry ranks twenty-third and twenty-fourth in the two working capital measures ConclusionsThe research presented here is based on the annual ratings of wo rking capital management published in CFO magazine. Our findings indic ate a consistency in how industries “stack up”against each other over time with respect to the working capital measures.However.the wor king capital measures themselves are not static (i.e.. averages of wo rking capital measures across all firms change annually); our results indicate significant movements across our entire sample over time. O ur findings are important because they provide insight to working cap ital performance across time. and on working capital management across industries. These changes may be in explained in part by macroecono mic factors Changes in interest rates.rate of innovation.and competitio n are likely to impact working capital management. As interest rates rise.there would be less desire to make payments early.which would stretch accounts payable.accounts receivable.and cash accounts. The ra mifications of this study include the finding of distinct levels of WCM measures for different industries.which tend to be stable over ti me. Many factors help to explain this discovery. The improving econom y during the period of the study may have resulted in improved turn over in some industries.while slowing turnover may have been a signal of troubles ahead. Our results should be interpreted cautiously. Our study takes places over a short time frame during a generally impr oving market. In addition. the survey suffers from survivorship bias –only the top firms within each industry are ranked each year and the composition of those firms within the industry can change annua lly.Further research may take one of two lines.First.there could bea study of whether stock prices respond to CFO magazine’s publication of working capital management rating.Second,there could be a study of which if any of the working capital management components relate to share price performance.Given our results,there studies need to take industry membership into consideration when estimating stock price reaction to working capital management performance.对整个行业中营运资金管理的研究格雷格Filbeck.Schweser学习计划托马斯M克鲁格.威斯康星大学拉克罗斯摘要:企业能够降低融资成本或者尽量减少绑定在流动资产上的成立基金数额来用于扩大现有的资金。

中小企业激励机制英文文献及翻译我国中小企业激励机制的问题及对策摘要文章主要分析了中小企业激励机制存在的问题及产生的原因,并从物质激励、精神激励和员工发展激励等方面探讨中小企业健全激励机制的对策。
关键词:中小型企业;激励机制;问题;对策1 我国中小企业激励机制存在的问题本文来自所谓企业激励机制,是指企业通过物质和精神的手段来创造、激发、满足并维持员工工作积极性、主动性、创造性的基本条件,从而保证企业实现预期目标的功能。
目前,中小企业激励机制主要存在以下问题。
1.1缺乏完善和制度性的激励机制激励制度是引导、规范员工行为导向共同目标的各种措施的总和。
员工是企业的生命和宝贵财富,一个产品从设计到开发、生产、销售,都离不开员工的辛勤劳动,因此企业应当具有完备的激励制度,这是员工做好本职工作的环境要求,也是保证企业目标顺利实现的制度保证。
但是在部分中小企业中普遍缺乏奖惩制度,缺乏正确奖励员工的方法,缺乏一个明确的标准,奖惩存在很大的随意性,管理者仅凭个人的好恶和伦理道德对员工进行奖惩,“奖得轻,罚得重,承诺兑现少”等现象时有发生;另外,部分中小企业薪酬设计不公平、外在竞争力不强以及财务管理制度混乱,这些状况的存在,使得许多员工工作积极性、主动性、创造性被扼杀,造成中小企业问恶意竞争加剧,企业成长率不高等诸多问题,究其原因就是激励方法的不当和激励手段、制度的落后所致。
1.2激励机制缺乏资金支持由于中小企业大多处于资金积累的成长期,资金实力相对薄弱,面对大企业年薪数十万元,甚至上百万元招募人才的大手笔就是显得无能为力了。
1.3重视物质激励而忽视精神激励目前我国的中小企业基本上采取单一的物质激励,企业管理者忽视对激励方式的研究,激励手段过于单一,忽视了物质激励与精神激励的有机结合。
还有些企业没有对员工的需要进行分析,“一刀切”地对所有的人采用同样的激励手段,没有认识到激励的有效性在于不同需要。
激励方式上只注重物质激励,强调奖金和红利的重要性,而不注重对员工的非物质性激励,对基层员工不予购买社会保险、工伤保险,员工缺乏安全感;只重视金钱激励,而忽视对员工的关心,在观念上只把员工作为企业的“雇员”在“利用”,而不是将员工视为企业的“成员”真正去关心和爱护他们。
企业管理的英文文献Enterprise management is an important aspect of any successful business. It involves the efficient allocation of resources, effective decision-making, and the ability to adapt to changes in the market. There are a variety of English-language sources that discuss different aspects of enterprise management. In this article, we will examine some of the key texts in this field.Step 1: IntroductionThe first step in any enterprise management is understanding the importance of effective leadership. A classic text in this area is Peter Drucker's "The Practice of Management." This book has been called the "Bible of modern management" and is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the principles of good management.Step 2: StrategyDeveloping a sound strategy is another essential component of enterprise management.

By studying the key texts in each of these areas, business leaders can gain a deeper understanding of the principles of effective management and apply these principles to their own organizations.。
LNTU---Acc附录A论企业经营业绩评价系统的构建企业作为盈利性组织,其目标是追求经济效益,企业的经济效益集中体现在经营业绩上。
业绩,也称为效绩,绩效、成效等,反映的是人们从事某一活动所取得的成绩或成果,经营业绩是企业在一定时期内利用其有限的资源从事经营活动取得的成果,表现为企业经营效益和经营者业绩两方面。
《辞海》中对“评价”的解释是:“评定货物的价格、还价。
今也指衡量人物或事物的价值。
”价格是价值的货币表现,评价实际上是一个判定价值的过程,就如《现代汉语词典》中的解释:“评价”是“评定价值高低、评定的价值”,管理活动中的评价是指根据确定的目标来测定对象系统的属性,并将这种属性变为客观定量的价值或者主观效用的行为。
评价作为判定人或事物价值的一种观念性活动,包括确定评价目的、选定评价标准(或评价参照系统),获取评价信息,形成价值判断四个环节。
企业经营业绩评价是指运用科学,规范的评价方法,采用特定的指标体系,对照统一的评价标准,按照一定的程序,进行定量及定性分析,对企业一定经营期间的经营效益和经营者业绩作出真实、客观、公正的综合评判。
它是评价理论方法在经济领域的具体应用,它是在会计学和财务管理的基础上,运用计量经济学原理和现代分析技术而建立起来的剖析企业经营过程,真实反映企业现实经济状况,预测企业未来发展前景的一门科学。
建立和推行企业经营业绩评价制度,科学的评判企业经营成果,有助于正确引导企业经营行为,帮助企业寻找经营差距及产生的原因,提高经济效益。
同时,也为各有关部门对企业实施间接管理,加强宏观调控、制定经济政策和考核企业经营管理者业绩提供依据。
企业经营业绩评价系统的构建与实施必须建立在一定的理论基础之上,符合一定的原则,才能发挥其良好的功能,从而使业绩评价“客观”、“公平”、“合理”。
1企业经营业绩评价系统的理论基础(1) 资本保全理论在市场经济条件下,企业是出资者的企业,是一个资本集合体,所有者是惟一的剩余风险承担者和剩余权益享受者,出资者利益是企业最高利益。
How to Motivate Every Employee---James·Cameron Incentive is the core of human resource management.Production and management in the enterprise management, human resources is economic resources with a variety of thoughts, feelings, the most dynamic summation also love that economic resources, but also the soul of enterprise in this organism, therefore, human resources production and management resources than other more important resources, and decisions not only affect the production and operation of enterprises of other economic resources, the value and use, and the province is the enterprise strength of several important components of quality of human resources as a result of production and management in the enterprise economic resources of the status and role, so the effectiveness of corporate governance or the ultimate ideal to achieve the objective should be: every enterprise employees will be able to give top priority to the overall interests of enterprises and business goals , the interests of all willing to contribute their own. Employees of such a mental state of thinking and Normal under oath in order to reflect the difficult, but it is entrepreneurs, managers should be pursued and the ultimate challenge, it is necessary to approach such a state, only through an effective internal incentives. Therefore, the most important task of enterprise management is the human resources management.Traditional personnel management and labor is different from a modern human resources management performance of the main features of the "strategic" level: (one) at the strategic guiding ideology of modern human resource management is "people-oriented" management; (two) the strategic objectives modern human resources management in order to "obtain a competitive advantage," the objectives of management; (three) the scope of the strategy, the modern human resources management is the "full participation in" democratic management; (four) measures in the strategy of modern human resources management is the use of "systematic scientific methods and human art" contingency management. And non-human resources management, compared to human resources management through the "incentives" to achieve, it is the core of human resources management. The so-called "incentive" to meet people from the multi-level and diversified needs of different employees and reward performance standards set value, a maximum staff to stimulate enthusiasm and creativity to achieve the objectives of the Organization. An enterprise of how the use of human resources is determined by many complex factors in the result of the coupling, but the role of management incentives is one of the most important factors.Unlike other non-human resources of the fundamental characteristics of human resources is that it attached to the staff and the existence of the human body, personal moment with the staff can not be separated, such other person or organization to use human resources, both by its natural all the people of "positive take the initiative "can be achieved with. Therefore, human resources management can "people-oriented" and effectively to stimulate the enthusiasm of employees, to maximize the staff's initiative and creativity, has become the decision of the merits of enterprise production and management of key performance factors and human resources management business success core of the problem.Employee incentive measures.Incentives for the management of human resources management in particular, the importance of self-evident. Incentives can be adopted by all of, the enterprises need to attract them; also can make the most of the employees to perform their talents and wisdom; work so as to maintain the effectiveness and efficiency. Incentive not only to make employees feel at ease, and actively work to play it so staff recognition and acceptance of the enterprise goalsand values, the enterprise have a strong sense of belonging. According to the United States, Professor William James of Harvard University study, in the absence of incentive environment, the potential for staff to play out only a small part of that is 20% -30%, first-served basis just to keep their rice bowls; and in a good incentive mechanism for the environment, the same staff can play a potential 80% -90%, it can be seen, so that each employee is always a good incentive environment is the management of human resources development and the pursuit of the ideal state. So how do we inspire employees to effectively correct the times?First,Adhere to people-centered, respect for human nature, and establish and implement the "employee-centric" management concept."People-oriented, respect for humanity" as a modern management philosophy, emphasizing the ultimate goal of management - to improve the economic efficiency of enterprises on the people behind the management of behavior is no longer a cold cold command type, the compulsory type. But carrying out an incentive, trust, caring, emotional, manager of human nature embodies a high degree of understanding and attach importance to managers as employees can not be purely "economic man" in order to meet their survival needs and material interests of the management an opportunity to but to pay attention to the employees respect the spirit of self-actualization needs at higher level in order to provide creative work and encouraging personality to play to mobilize the enthusiasm of employees, in the equal exchange of lead and establish the concept of corporate management; the external control into self-control, so that each employee to form their own sense of corporate loyalty and a sense of responsibility, so that the value of employees to achieve personal and business survival and development into a passer-by, if the enterprises do not know how to be people-oriented, and lack of basic understanding of human nature and respect for , to the neglect of the personal value of human resources to enable employees to achieve long-term needs of the individual values can not be met or even depression, will not be able to retain the best talent, companies will lose competitiveness. Therefore, we must do the following: Staff carry out regular surveys to understand the extent possible, a matter of concern to employees, especially those relevant to their work, and to win the support and loyalty of staff, and staff to guide the spirit of innovation, attract and retain employees, companies should strive to collect the following the desired information staff: the fairness of work; organizational learning; communication; degree of flexibility and concern; Customer Center; trust and delegation of authority; the effectiveness of management; job satisfaction, the adequacy of support, was placed in a suitable role , and whether or not to feel valuable.Focus on staff remuneration, benefits, working conditions, as well as flexible, to facilitate the preferential arrangements. Enterprises should change with the times, in addition to the traditional emphasis on staff remuneration, welfare and the improvement of working conditions but also the possibility of other incentives, such as the provision of day care; serving University; tuition grants; shorter working hours in summer; the implementation of employee stock option plan; set up a remote post office and so on.Second, the implementation of a comprehensive compensation strategy to motivate employees to fully.The so-called "comprehensive compensation strategy", which means the company will pay the salaries of employees classified as "external" and "inherent" in two categories, acombination of the two is the "full pay", "external pay "referring primarily to provide their employees with quantifiable monetary value, for example, the basic wage bonuses, stock options, pension, medical insurance and so on," internal pay "refers to those provided to employees can not be quantified the performance of monetary value of various currencies. For example, work satisfaction, for the completion of its work to facilitate the provision of personal tools, training opportunities, attractive corporate culture, good interpersonal relations, coordination of the work environment, as well as individual recognition, appreciation and so on, external salaries and pay their own internal incentives have different functions. Their contact with each other, complement each other, constitute a complete system of remuneration, practice has proved that as a result of staff-to-business expectations and needs to be comprehensive, which includes not only material needs, but also spiritual needs, and thus the implementation of "full pay" strategy, is an effective model of staff motivation.Third,incentives should be fair, just and eliminate incentives for "big".Fair and impartial is a fundamental principle of motivation. If you do not fair, improper Prize Award, improper punishment and punishment, not only can not receive the desired results, but will result in many negative consequences, it is necessary to impartial and incorruptible, regardless of affinity, regardless of distance, will be treated equally in order to promote the enthusiasm of the staff along the right direction virtuous circle, as proposed by the United States manage the academic award as the criteria. Only by doing so can enhance the cohesion and centripetal force. At the same time, incentives are clearly ancient times people believed in the basic management principles. In fact if the additional money as wages, as it is unrelated to individual performance and reward, employees feel they deserve it, rather than the result of the efforts, so that people can not be stimulated and motivated. Therefore, the smart managers should do everything possible to reward and recognize performance combine it with the cause of loyalty, dedication to the cause of the close combination of fact, the staff inside the imbalance is that they do good , there are dedicated, but work with people who do not receive the same treatment. This is often not satisfied with the staff and leadership reasons, incentives to companies linked to behavior and employee benefits, the higher the protection of personal value, the greater their income, and through incentives to create a fair competitive environment to increase the comparability of results, and promote up groups.To sum up, the management of enterprises in the use of incentives should be people-oriented, pay attention to and strengthen the strong spirit of enterprise and development of mining resources to improve the workers compensation which the degree of non-material rewards, in the determination and implementation of policies and work rules and regulations in, and strive to embody the principle of fair and equitable. Employees should not blindly encourage unrealistic earnings expectations increase, otherwise you will enable enterprises to individual workers or groups of incentives and constraints arising from the difficulties, the effectiveness of decline, more difficult.中文翻译:如何激励每一位员工---詹姆斯·卡梅隆激励是人力资源管理的核心。
企业管理英文文献综述范文When it comes to corporate management, a diverse range of strategies and practices have been explored in the academic world. From the traditional hierarchical models to the more modern flat structures, organizations have adapted to changing business landscapes in pursuit of efficiency and growth.One significant trend in recent years has been the rise of lean management. This approach emphasizes minimizing waste in all areas of business operations, from production lines to administrative processes. By focusing on value-adding activities and eliminating inefficiencies, companies are able to streamline their operations and improve profitability.On the other hand, the concept of agile management has gained traction in the face of the ever-evolving business environment. Agile organizations are flexible and adaptive, able to quickly respond to market changes and capitalize onemerging opportunities. This approach values collaboration, iteration, and continuous improvement, enabling businesses to stay ahead of the competition.In the realm of leadership, there's a growing recognition of the importance of emotional intelligence. Leaders who are able to understand and manage their own emotions, as well as those of their team members, are more effective in fostering a positive work environment and promoting employee engagement. Emotional intelligence also plays a crucial role in conflict resolution and decision-making.Technology has.。
企业环境管理—基于市场奖励的管理Madhu Khanna and Wilma Rose Q. Anton企业保护环境的办法已经从被规章条例驱动的被动模式演变为积极主动的方式,即通过自愿管理做法,将环境问题与传统的管理职能结合起来。
作为公司决策的一种行为模式,通过econometrically假设测试取得影响公司积极进行环境管理的因素。
对这些假设进行测试时,使用的样本是标准普尔500指数公司的调查数据。
分析结果表明,经济因素,如环境负债的威胁和符合预期规定的高成本以及生产最终消费品和拥有大量资本产出率给企业带来的市场压力,都在促使这些企业进行环境保护的过程中发挥了显著作用。
此外,企业外部关于企业转移有毒物质的报道和社会大众对企业内部有毒物质单位排放量的压力都对企业通过创新实现环境管理的实践有重大影响。
导论传统上,美国依赖强制性的指挥和环境控制的规章来保护环境质量。
这种做法虽然保护了环境,但是也导致了政策框架的僵硬和高昂的成本,并且还会降低长远上改进环境质量的效率。
这种认识已经导致越来越多基于市场的手段应用于为企业提供灵活选择用最低成本控制污染的环境保护方式,例如排污许可证制度、存款还款计划和公众的环境信息披露自愿程序。
在这些措施中,信息披露的自愿性程序通过非强制性的措施鼓励企业控制污染。
监管机构向社会提供的关于产品环境属性和公司环境绩效的信息能触发产品和资本市场的反应和社会的行动,建立以市场为基础的激励机制,帮助企业改进其环境绩效。
美国环保局每年向社会公布的有毒物质排放清单就是信息提供的一个例子。
此外,争取让企业在环境自我调节的自愿性项目已经成为美国环保局的一个主要政策工具。
1999年,在联邦级别上,这样的项目已经在短短的三年中由28项增长到54项。
这两种做法已经被很多政策分析家看成是对抗性超越“政府推动”的“下一代环境政策”,其依靠企业自身在环境友好政策上的积极努力和社会公众,例如公民和社区的积极参与,来达到保护环境的目的。
这种自律也体现在“企业主导”的倡议被越来越多的企业和行业协会接受和采纳。
一些企业已经起草了环保计划,通过重新设计产品和工艺防止污染;其他企业通过标准化的环境管理和带有生态环保标签的产品从国际标准化组织申请了ISO140001系列标准化证书。
调查显示,很多企业都有针对性的通过自己混合管理的做法达到环境目标。
这些做法包括进行环境内部审计,使企业员工补偿金的一部分取决于他们在环境保护中的表现,把环境影响的集中评价置于企业较高的等级以及为环境管理提供总体质量管理的原则。
这些做法代表了企业内部的组织变革,企业比以往任何时候都更大程度地把企业内部自我激励机制引入到企业目标中。
这种“企业主导”的环境管理模式作为一种创新且更有效保护环境的模式,已经引发了政策制定者广泛的兴趣。
现在,很多州的环保机构和美国环保局通过提供技术援助、认可以及其他福利来鼓励企业建立环境管理体系。
但是,监管机构和社会因企业建立环境管理体系而给企业的福利待遇还有待于调查和评价。
对企业建立环境管理体系的兴趣可以从1999年由11国环保机构官员组成的多国工作组举办的关于环境管理体系的国家首脑会议的广泛参与中推断出来。
与会者来自不同的学术机构、环保局、布鲁金斯学会、全国公共管理学院以及国家政府委员会,他们强调需要对推动企业建立环境管理体系的影响因素和依靠环境管理体系能在多大程度上改善环境质量进行更多的研究。
美国环保局还赞助建立了环境管理的国家数据库,其中包括在美国的100个志愿者机构实施环境管理体系的多方面信息,以了解他们给企业和社会带来的成本和福利。
正如下文所述,对推动企业建立环境管理体系的影响因素很少有系统的实证研究分析。
个案研究表明外部影响因素很重要,例如消费者对环境的而关注以及股东和社会公众在环境保护中起的重要作用。
如果被视为对环境不“友好”,不良声誉带来的影响以及吸引的金融投资者关注,对企业来说变得越来越重要。
1989年的一份调查显示,77%的美国人说企业的环境信誉影响他们买什么。
使用环保营销的新产品从1989年仅有3%上升到1991年的12%。
银行越来越多的意识到他们可能会因为借款企业的环境问题承担法律责任。
所以,银行已经把环境因素纳入到贷款的决策中,并视环境绩效差的企业有财务风险。
本研究的目的是对推动企业建立全面的环境管理体系的经济激励措施进行一次系统的分析,并解释观察到的企业建立环境管理体系水平上的多样性。
我们侧重研究建立环境管理体系的范围,而不是决定的个人的做法,因为每个人的做法只不过是一种工具,如果没有环境管理体系,个人的做法起到的效果可能很小。
例如,环境审计本身只不过是一种审查业绩的手段,如果不同时采取其他措施,如从企业管理层得到提供资源、奖励员工防止污染的承诺,环境审计在控制污染中可能是没有效果的。
本文为econometrically测试提供了关于经济奖励推动企业建立一个全面的环境成本管理体系的假设的行为框架,利用建立环境管理体系的调查数据以及可获取的标准普尔500公司的特定特征的样本,来对这些假设进行测试。
更具体地说,本文试图探讨来自外部的压力在多大程度上推动企业更积极地保护环境,并认识到改进环境管理是企业经济上成功的一个基本影响因素。
这项分析的结果对政策制定者有重要的作用,帮助他们寻求促进企业领导层、政策分析家和社会大众确定社会政策以及利益相关者在根本上改变企业开展业务的方式,以及更受这些因素影响的企业类型。
此外,现有的或预期的强制性指挥和控制规章能够为环保组织提供激励机制,在企业内部实际实施。
但是,人们对强制性条例的关注由于其不灵活和高成本已经大大减少。
过去的文献越来越多的理论文献分析了企业主动进行环境保护相对于强制性条例的社会效率。
本文表明,企业可能通过奖励自愿改善环境的行为,因为他们能导致直接和间接形式的私人利益回报。
这些利益可能产生于企业针对强制性标准先发制人的行动以及针对排污税进行的自愿减排。
卢茨、里昂和麦克斯韦分析了未来章程对企业自愿生产环保产品提供奖励的可能性,麦克斯韦、里昂和哈克特研究了企业自我约束的奖励和福利,所罗拉和gangopadhya证明了消费者愿意为环保产品支付保险费的意愿导致企业更加遵守环保制度。
一些研究试图研究企业参加由环保局设立的志愿者项目的动机,如美国的33/50号项目和美国的气候挑战项目。
这些研究表明,参加通过美国环保局新闻稿、简报被社会认可的以及受美国环保局资助和技术援助的项目对预防污染有十分重要的作用。
Khanna、Quimio和Bojilova向我们说明,企业收到的消极的股市回报是社会对企业不良环保表现的回应,这导致企业自愿减少现场排放污染物。
一些研究特别分析了企业内部组织变化的动机,如采取环境友好做法的决定。
Henriques和Sadorsky研究企业采取这样的做法或环保计划的影响因素。
King和Lenox 分析了美国化学工业企业参加化学制造商协会的责任关怀计划并接纳其行为准则。
Henriques和Sudorsky使用强烈感知到来自于消费者、政府和社区的压力的企业排名作为解释性变量。
King和Lenox研究是否环保表现差并被社会更加关注的企业更有可能加入责任关怀计划。
关于影响企业建立环境成本管理体系影响因素的分析很少,尤其是在美国。
Dasgapta、Hettige和Wheeler分析了墨西哥企业采用ISO14001环境管理做法的程度。
他们表明,环境成本管理体系的建立受企业规模、员工素质以及管理水平的显著影响,而企业落伍的技术和社会间接的压力的作用并不重要。
下一部分为本文提供了实证分析的基础概念框架。
此框架以建立了高质量环境管理体系企业的奖励情况作为资源,建立一套广泛的解释性变量。
这些变量包括负债、遵循强制性条例的威胁以及获取建立在环境属性基础上的产品差异的竞争优势。
第三部分和第四部分分别介绍了基于这些假设的实证方法和数据描述。
第五部分介绍了实证的结果,随后介绍了本文的结论。
概念框架我们把企业产生的污染物质(如化学品)用x表示,把投入的资本性设备用k表示,把产出用y表示。
再生产过程中用到的污染物质x的有效性用@表示。
企业产生的产出y 是企业大量的投入在生产(@x)中的有效利用和存量资本k的函数:y=f(@x, k); f x >0, f k >0, f xx <0, f kk<0 (1) @被假设成是企业的技术知识t和企业采取的环境管理质量的标量q的函数:@=@ (q,t); @>0, @>0,@ <0, @<0 (2) @增加,在生产过程中的投入会被更有效的利用,因此,浪费的投入和污染与投入—使用的跌幅水平呈相关关系。
因此,@的增加有效的减少了污染投入成本。
所以,产生的污染(废物)用x的直接函数的反函数来表示,如下:z= x/@ (3) 用(3)代替(1)中的x,产出水平可以用被视为生产过程影响因素的z表示,如下:Y=f(@2z,k) (4) 我们假设在寡头垄断市场上同时的经营n家正在同时生产一种产品,但是在其生产过程中运用不同环境政策。
该企业面临着一条逆的寻求曲线是,工业总产出和企业采取的环境管理的函数,用P(Y, q)表示。
同样,我们假设消费者愿意为使用环保做法进行生产的产品支付高价,因此Pq>0。
但是,Pq的规模在企业之间可能不同。
生产最终消费品并且直接面对消费者的企业更能从“绿色消费”中获益。
这里讨论的主要问题是,企业认识到这种情况并努力寻求环境友好的声誉,而不是消费者是否确实能够区分企业是否遵循环境友好的做法。
企业在投入市场上被假设成是价格接收者。
投入变量的单位成本是w。
年均成本被假设成是企业环境管理质量下降的函数,用r(q)表示。
一些研究表明,投资者对信息披露中环保表现差的企业有消极的反应,这很可能导致企业股票市场上的负面影响,使其在资本市场上的成本上升。
这个消极反应很可能是因为投资者对企业不良的环保表现,由于执法行动导致更大的风险和来自美国环保局执行减少污染的战略形成的压力,以及更大的环境负债和环境诉讼风险。
这些企业在资本市场在资本市场上可能有更高的成本。
所以,我们认为环境管理不善的企业为筹借资金要付出更多的成本,因此,r q<0。
数据描述这篇文章用到的主要管理方法的数据来自于1994年和1995年企业的环境概况目录,此目录根据标准普尔500公司投资者责任中心的调查数据编制。
调查的信息包括:企业是否采取了环境管理措施、雇佣了环保人员的数量、环境审计和报告程序。
环境绩效数据主要是从包含现场报道和场外有毒化学物质的转移信息的一级设施资料中获得的。
1989年首次发布的TRI任务是:紧急规划和1986年的社区知情权法,要求生产部门公布年度有毒物质对空气、水和陆地的影响,特殊化学品的场外转移质量。
