This new book is a thoroughly modern approach to compensation that addresses the strategic uses and applications of compensation by organizations. This major new entry addresses traditional aspects of compensation--job analysis, salary surveys, pay structure, and so on. Then it moves beyond these issues to address HOT TOPICS--knowledge-based pay, variable pay, compensation for contingent workers, executive compensation. International aspects are highlighted. There are 2 boxes: "Reflections of Compensation," and "The Flip Side." Includes a for-sale student workbook with Windows-based software. Website at .
