Abstract
Several factors influence business policy, performance, and strategy: (1) organizations are flatter, (2) margins are reduced, (3) employees are more expensive to replace, and (4) competition is increased with the globalization of markets. The result is that firms must be effective and efficient in their operations and decision processes. To do this they are best served by optimizing, to every extent possible, the abilities of their employees to contribute, and their organization´s ability to compete successfully
