Library Journal Review

Business consultant Sibson (Increasing Employee Productivity, 1976) advocates an ``EP'' (employee productivity) process in addressing the problems American businesses have in competing today. His theory is that larger per-year increases in productivity would greatly improve living standards in the United States. He believes that these types of improvements are possible if properly managed through some type of EP process, which is results-oriented rather than related to any specific process. Sibson advances a 12-step approach for incorporating EP into a firm's management structure. He explains his theories in great detail but in a reasoned, logical manner using proven management techniques and practices. His presentation deserves reading and study because productivity is a vital issue in society today. Recommended for all libraries.-Littleton M.

Booklist Review

Earlier this year a survey by Conference Board, the respected business research organization, found that the "total quality management" movement in the U.S. is still thriving and will remain viable for the foreseeable future. The study also found, however, many managerial critics who view TQM as a fad, and a suspicious rank-and-file as well. Human resources consultant Sibson is one of the skeptics. Debunking not only TQM but the newer concept of re-engineering, he offers his own back-to-basics 12-step program. Sibson has been investigating and writing about productivity for 30 years. Based on the results of his own 1992 survey of 200 companies, his recommendations include making productivity part of every manager's and each employee's responsibility. Sibson is also author of Compensation (1990), a standard work on employee benefits now in its fifth edition. It is therefore no surprise that he emphasizes pay for performance as a key step in improving productivity. ~--David Rouse
