Abstract/Summary

This is a study of the impact of variety on the relative utilization of reward systems within and between capitalist archetypes: The study includes not only a closer focus on variety within and between coordinated market economies, but pays specific attention to the Japanese case, and a systematic comparison of the reward practices adopted by Multinational Enterprises vis-à-vis their local peers. The study uses the most recent wave of the international Cranet survey of HRM, and contrasts this with studies based on previous waves.
