Customer Reviews:
Excellent book on compensation.......2002-06-11
This is an excellent book on rewards and compensation. I keep this book on my shelf and refer to it constantly. And, I require all my managers to keep a copy too. The coverage is complete, the writing is clear, and the book is "must have" for anyone who needs information on executive compensation.
Comprehensive, well written and very current.......2002-05-02
With executive pay under more extensive scrutiny than ever, I found this book an excellent way to resolve the dilemma about how to pay for performance. While my company's circumstances mean that there are no clear cut solutions, this was the only book I could find that laid out all the alternatives clearly and concisely. Overall, this is the best book on reward I have ever read, and I am sure I will be coming back to it again and again as my standard reference guide.
A must for practitioners and students alike........2000-06-14
This is an awesome text. In a subject area as dynamic as executive and other compensation, this book hands it to you on a "golden" platter. A must on every human resource executives bookshelf. A must for the compensation student. This book has it all and is worth the price.
Excellent book!.......1998-04-04
I read this book from cover to cover and loved every word of it! I couldn't put it down! Although it was a bith pricy, I feel that it was worth every cent.

Book Description
Go behind the scenes as a revolutionary approach to productivity unfolds
The Process-Based Organization
A Natural Organization Strategy
Gustavo Crosetto & Jorge Macazaga
This book uses a fascinating, story-telling approach to provide a clear overview of a process-based organization and the many benefits it can bring manufacturers.
If you want to have a more productive company and happier people working in it, read this compelling book from cover to cover.
It provides an innovative solution to company leaders who want to avoid a drastic downsizing and the consequential loss of talent… only to find out that the expected efficiency increase doesn't materialize…and that they have to hire again more people…again reorganize…and limp along long periods of poor performance.
The Process Based Organization is insightful, informational, and life-changing—and sure to get you started down the path to productivity increases, cycle time reduction, and improvements in customer service and people motivation.
Transform your routine transaction work model to one based on business relationships, innovation, interplay, and exploration.
You'll meet Martin—the president of a manufacturing company—and his friend John, who agrees to come on board to introduce revolutionary production and efficiency techniques. Together they walk employees through the creation of a process-based organization.
You'll go behind the scenes to "sit in" on company meetings where employees voice concerns and top strategy decisions are made as the company moves to a new process-based model. You'll learn:
• How creating a process-based organization is something quite different from re-engineering—a traditional change process where integrated systems are implemented or departments are re-structured.
• What's involved in forming cells or teams based on processes—such as selling, producing, distributing, billing and collection—rather than functions.
• Why team emotion—a term that is rarely addressed in organization charts and operating manuals—is critical if you're to achieve real results and real change.
Along the way, you'll get answers to many of the questions you should consider before transforming your organization:
• How can you know if managers will sincerely support the change?
• How is a cell different from a business unit?
• Why should your factory, administration, human resources, and finances be aligned with your clients?
• Why do most teaming efforts fail?
• How should the change effort be started to gain employee commitment early on?
• How can short production series efficiency be improved?
• How can you develop a good communication plan that lights up the torch and your employees?
This book is for you if your organization has ever experienced any of these challenges:
• Keeping up income margins is getting more costly even though costs have been reduced
• Market share has decreased
• Your competitors aren't just providing differential price strategies, they are improving their capacity to produce and deliver cheaper and effectively
• You sometimes incur delays in delivering orders, allowing shortage of stock (in quantity and variety) required to satisfy orders for spare parts
• Your staff lacks motivation
• There is a shortage of human resources when and where they are needed most
• Despite having a sophisticated production programming system, lead times have not improved substantially
• Cost accounting is causing a strong distortion in actual production costs

Book Description
Solar Journey: The Significance of Our Galactic Environment for the Heliosphere and Earth lays the foundation for an interdisciplinary study of the influence of interstellar material on the solar system and Earth as we travel through the Milky Way Galaxy. The solar wind bubble responds dynamically to interstellar material flowing past the Sun, regulating interstellar gas, dust, and cosmic particle fluxes in the interplanetary medium and the Earth. Cones of interstellar gas and dust focused by solar gravity, the magnetospheres of the outer planets, and cosmic rays at Earth all might yield the first hints of changes in our galactic environment.
Twelve articles from leading experts in diverse fields discuss the physical changes expected as the heliosphere adjusts to its galactic environment. Topics include the interaction between the solar wind and interstellar dust and gas, cosmic ray modulation, magnetospheres, temporal variations in the solar environment, and the cosmic ray isotope record preserved in paleoclimate data.

Book Description
Expanding upon the ideas first proposed in his seminal book Cosmical Magnetic Fields, Eugene N. Parker here offers the first in-depth treatment of the magnetohydrodynamic theory of spontaneous magnetic discontinuities. In detailing his theory of the spontaneous formation of tangential discontinuities (current sheets) in a magnetic field embedded in highly conducting plasma, Parker shows how it can be used to explain the activity of the external magnetic fields of planets, stars, interstellar gas clouds, and galaxies, as well as the magnetic fields in laboratory plasmas. Provocative and fascinating, Spontaneous Current Sheets in Magnetic Fields presents a bold new theory that will excite interest and discussion throughout the space physics community.
Book Description
The 26th International Cosmic Ray Conference was held in Salt Lake City, Utah, from August 17-25, 1999 with over 800 attendees. This book contains the invited, rapporteur, and highlight papers. These papers summarize the most exciting new results in the field of cosmic ray physics and detail their importance to the larger fields of astrophysics and high energy physics. Some of the topics included are cosmic rays, solar physics, high energy particles, neutrinos, gamma rays, astroparticle physics, cosmology, and experimental techniques.

Book Description
This volume gives a comprehensive and integrated overview of current knowledge about cosmic rays in the heliosphere. It is the result of a workshop at ISSI, where experimental space physicists as well as theorists presented and discussed their views on the behaviour of cosmic rays during the currently prevalent solar minimum conditions, when the heliosphere has a well-ordered and relatively simple configuration. An unprecedented array of spacecraft - Ulysses, Pioneer, Voyager, IMP-8, Wind, to name a few - in conjunction with ever more sophisticated numerical models made this possible, gave us our first clear view of the three-dimensional heliosphere at solar minimum, and have significantly advanced our knowledge.
The status of the field is first presented in a series of introductory papers; these are followed by four Working Group reports attempting to synthesise this knowledge, make progress in our understanding, and point out directions of future research. A summary of the parameters used in cosmic ray modulation and an epilogue on conditions and consequences expected at the upcoming solar maximum conclude the volume. The book is intended to provide active researchers in space physics with an up-to-date status report and also to introduce the advanced graduate student to the field.
