Description
This textbook is well suited to a variety of students, including undergraduate and master’s degree students studying compensation.
For all business majors, Martocchio provides a framework for understanding strategic compensation that can be used by all business professionals.
Features
- Is it important for your students to get in depth explanations of the important topics?
For example, see Chapter 8 for how to analyze and meaningfully interpret compensation survey data. See Chapter 9 for how to establish merit pay increase grids under alternative realistic constraints (limited budgets, distribution of employee performance). See Chapter 13 for explanations of why Executive Compensation is so high relative to nonexecutive employees.
- Do you have your students do simulations?
: An experiential case simulation is available to adopters of the 4th edition titled Building Strategic Compensation Systems. In a nutshell, Building Strategic Compensation Systems will allow students to work in small compensation consulting teams charged with the responsibility for developing a compensation plan for a company named e-sonic. The project is divided into 4 sections, which correspond to fundamental goals of compensation practitioners as described in chapters in this textbook. The case includes an instructor’s manual to help guide students and the author’s website (http://www.prenhall.com/martocchio) will contain sample student write-ups and resources to help the instructor avoid student recycling of answers from semester to semester.
- Do your students respond well to real world examples?
Boxed insert features in each chapter — “Flip Side of the Coin” and “Stretching the Dollar”. All but one are new to this edition and are reprints from outstanding articles published by WorldatWork (formerly, the American Compensation Association). These are practitioner-oriented articles that discuss challenges in contemporary compensation practice and enhance the textbook material (pg x).
