Why should human resource managers pay high wages?
Article Abstract:
Management of human resources has been affected by developments in internal labour markets, and by a perception that collective action is less of a danger. There has been a fall in differences between union and non-union pay levels, and high pay has complemented policies to pre-empt union activity. However, the right to organise is still protected by the Wagner Act, and calls for improved pay are linked to widespread backing of the idea of industrial democracy and enhanced status. Of theories relating to pay levels and insulation of labour markets, efficiency wage theory is among the more helpful explanations.

Selecting a global administrator for broad-based stock option plans
Article Abstract:
Companies with the experience and the managerial capacity to handle every facet of the broad-based stock option plan are likely to perform quality administrative and brokerage services. A global administrator is needed because companies cannot manage international stock option plans by themselves since these plans are naturally sizable and complex. Additionally, contracting an external administrator may be justified since business enterprises are increasingly resorting to outsourcing. Five steps to choose the ideal administrator were presented.
