Book excerpt: This is an exploratory study on the characteristics and performance of firms that choose to grant executive stock options as a strategic compensation practice. According to the push theory of employee ownership, stock options are granted to push employees to create superior financial performance. We find that firms that grant executive stock options offer persistent abnormal firm performance. Firms that grant stock options in lieu of cash compensation do not perform differently in the long run from those that grant stock options as incentives. This finding is consistent with the proposition that the motivation for the use of executive stock options is endogenously determined for any firm given its investment opportunities and technology, risk characteristics and growth options.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GAO discussed civilian agency contracting practices and steps which could be taken to improve contractor management and oversight. GAO noted that: (1) civil agency contracting problems included agency reliance on contractors to carry out agency missions, ineffective contract administration, insufficient contract auditing oversight, and a lack of high-level management attention to contract management; (2) civilian agencies increased reliance on contractors to perform specialized program tasks and functions; (3) from 1979 to 1991, civilian agency contracting increased in value from $23 billion to $55 billion; (4) there were concerns about whether the extensive use of contractors to support government operations was more cost-effective than performing duties in-house, whether civil agencies have become overreliant on contractors, and whether civilian agencies are using contractors to formulate policy; (5) steps to ensure better contract management and administration included providing adequate contract work descriptions, independent government cost estimates, effective contractor performance and cost oversight, and incentives for good contractor performance; (6) agencies needed to clarify audit responsibilities, reduce audit backlogs, delineate unallowable and questionable costs, and establish guidelines regarding contractor discounts and voluntary management reductions; and (7) agency cultural changes were needed to emphasize contract management, including increased high level management attention, immediate and long-term commitment to contract management, and adequate information systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not all project procurements are the same. Unless the project carefully makes an assessment of the items it will make, versus the items it will buy, and then adequately plans for these purchases, the risks of performance will increase. Project procurements are simply sub-projects, which need to be managed well, not blindly delegated to an independent organization to buy for the project. Certain procurements, major complexity developments, creating something new, which does not exist, according to the project's unique specification, must be managed by the project team, and supported by the professional procurement organization. The project's team leader must assume the management responsibility. This book zeroes in on the effective management of that portion of the project which will be performed by another organization. It focuses on the procurement of scope from an organization outside of the project. Often, the success or failure of a project is dependent on how well the project can plan, define, solicit, authorize and manage this external relationship. This book has been updated to be consistent with Chapter 12 of the Fourth Edition of the PMBOK ® Guide, released by PMI in December 2008.
