Book Description

Excerpt from Profit Sharing, Its Principles and Practice: A Collaboration Moved by a common interest in the subject, the authors in 1915 undertook jointly to make a careful and comprehensive investigation of the subject of profit sharing. The purpose of this effort has been to mark out the proper scope of profit sharing, to determine the limits, if any, within which it is practicable, and to discover the results which may be expected from its use, as well as the most effective method of utilizing the profit sharing principle. In doing this work the profit sharing methods of a large number of employers have been studied and analyzed, a first-hand investigation has been made of a considerable number of profit sharing plants, many employers and employees have been interviewed, and much correspondence has been conducted. The effort has been not to prove the validity of any particular theory regarding profit sharing, but rather to learn the whole truth regarding the subject. This volume is the outgrowth of these joint efforts. The members of the group approached the study from somewhat different points of view and with different ideas as to the practicability of profit sharing, but all undertook the inquiry with an open mind, and all are in substantial agreement upon the conclusions embodied in these pages.
