Quatre millions d'euros
" Pierre Bilger replie son parachute ", titrait la presse en août 2003. Une décision sans précédent ! Du jamais vu dans l'histoire des " parachutes dorés " ! Le discret Pierre Bilger, ancien PDG d'Alstom, pendant douze ans l'un des industriels les plus puissants de France, défraie la chronique médiatique. Il est le premier grand patron à rendre ses indemnités de départ : 4 millions d'euros. Plus d'un an après son départ et après ce geste, Pierre Bilger se sent libre de s'expliquer sur son parcours, ses succès et ses échecs. Il le fait avec fermeté et sans complaisance. " Alors que la partie est terminée, le moment est venu de dire comment les choses se sont passées. Réellement. Et tout simplement. Et pour que la compréhension soit complète et parce que l'action d'un homme ne s'explique que par ses racines, je vais raconter toute mon histoire. Ce sera la meilleure manière pour moi de faire la paix avec moi-même et les autres et peut-être d'apporter un modeste témoignage à l'histoire de l'autre siècle, une petite cicatrice dans un océan d'événements. "
Executive Remuneration and Employee Performance-Related Pay
The compensation packages of a growing proportion of firms include pay schemes that are linked to employee or company performance, yet little is known about the patterns of performance related pay. This book compares US and European CEOs to investigate the evolution of executive compensation, its controversies, and its resulting regulations.
European Unions
Roland Erne's view of transnational trade union networks challenges the assertion that no realistic prospect exists for remedying the European Union's democratic deficit—that is, its domination by corporate interests and lack of a cohesive European people. His book describes the emergence of a European trade union movement that crosses national boundaries. Erne assesses national and EU-level trade union politics in two core areas: wage bargaining in the European Monetary Union and job protection during transnational corporate mergers and restructuring. The wage coordination policies of the European metal and construction workers' unions and the unions' responses in the ABB-Alstom Power and...
Essence of a Manager
What makes a “good” manager? This is a book by a manager about managers but it is not just for managers. It is for anyone and for everyone who is interested in the way people – and not just managers - behave and function around the world. Based on actual experience the title “Essence of a Manager” is a succinct distillation of what this book is about. It is not a management manual and yet it is a map for navigation and a guide for behavior which can be valuable for practicing managers at all levels. It formulates a sound thesis to describe the qualities needed in a “good” manager and builds up from elemental qualities to develop a holistic view of a good manager. Nine fundamental attributes are proposed as being necessary and sufficient to describe a “good” manager. It is applied management philosophy for a thinking manager and deals with the fundamental drivers which lie deeper than language or culture and which control human behavior.
The Resilient Female Body
The chapters in this book were first presented at the Women in French Biennial Conference held in Leeds in May 2004. The twelve essays explore the multifaceted commodification of the female body and provide insights into the mutations of French society and culture. British and French scholars examine the paradoxes and contradictions embodied in various images and discourses related to health and illness from different perspectives, ranging from sociological studies to analyses of working diaries, children's medical encyclopaedias and literary texts. The 'resilient female body' as epitomised by the First World War nurse tends by the end of the twentieth century to be construed as the 'sanitis...
