MG 769 - Alternative Reward Systems

3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
This course is designed to acquaint new managers with the role of reward and recognition systems within the broad context of motivation. In addition, determining the need for and timing of reward system modification within large-scale organization change efforts is assessed. Particular emphasis is placed on the linkage between reward systems and firm strategy; core competencies; organization structure (teams, etc.); and organizational culture. The evolving attention on identifying and defining individual competencies as a logical follow-on to firm core competencies identifications is investigated as a potential reward system driver. A review of several modern reward systems will be accomplished, such as small group incentives, skill-based pay, competency-based pay, gain sharing, combinations of these, etc. Completion of this course should sensitize new managers to the evolving organizational role of modern reward systems. In turn, they will be capable of assessing issues of fit or linkage between rewards and other critical organizational elements. (prereq: MG 633 , MG 670  or graduate level equivalent)
