Bonus Plans are beneficial on many levels. They inspire and motivate employees to reach and even exceed their goals, improving the productivity of the company as a whole. By offering more than just monetary bonuses, companies can customize their rewards, allowing employees to choose something they may not purchase themselves. Developing a bonus plan with guidelines is key in keeping a system consistent and fair, allowing any arbitrary guesswork to be abandoned.

Critical Success Factors for IS Executive Careers - Evidence from Case Studies Nansi Shi David Bennett ABSTRACT This article qualitatively analyzes the Critical Success Factors (CSFs) for Information Systems (IS) executive careers based on evidence gathered from five case studies carried out in 1997. Typical IS executive career paths are presented within a time series style and the CSFs are interpreted within a descriptive framework by synthesising the case data based on Social Cognitive Theory. The descriptive framework suggests that successful IS executive careers would most likely be achieved by well educated and experienced IS employees who have the right attitude towards both their career and work, together with good performance. They would also exhibit an ability for self-learning and to anticipate future IT uses, as well as having proficient IS management knowledge and skills while working with an appropriate organizational environment. Moreover, the framework systematically indicates the interactions between the coupling factors in the typical career development processes.
Collaboration comes across the literature as an increasing necessity in organisations for optimal performance in productivity and a necessary managerial and leadership skill. Erickson (2010) argues that increased collaborative capacity is a well suited leadership activity for today’s managers. Gosling and Mintzberg (2003) argue that the collaborative mind set is one of the five minds of the manager and finally, though she disputes the teams’ ideology, Amanda Sinclair admits that “teams in various forms have become ubiquitous ways of working” (Sinclair. A 1992, 13, 4 -611-626 in Peters and Waterman 1982, Payne 1988). Teams under certain circumstances can probably satisfy everything at once if the team adopts a collaborative approach, is high in Emotional Intelligence, can resolve conflict positively, acknowledge the importance of human well being and is capable of not losing the big picture.
