  2. Introduction of author

  3. Managerial entropy and dissipative structure • Managerial entropy refers to diminishing interior management efficiency due to inadequate financial incentives for managers and workers. • Managerial dissipative structure means that enterprise organizational structures will develop from ineffective and disordered to effective and ordered. • competence and interaction of the two forces jointly influence the corporate structure and lead them to move forward contradictorily in a complicated pattern.

  4. Managerial entropy and dissipative structure • This paper introduces the concepts of managerial entropy and dissipative structure theory into enterprise management, these ideas also lead us to a new concept, that the goalfor management is supervising and evaluating interior entropy and interveningin a timely manner according to changes in entropy value.

  5. The evolution of incentive systems and the necessity of their reconstruction in China • Four stages of China’s enterprise institution development

  6. SASAC in China In 2003 major changes took place in China's state-owned enterprise management system. China’s central government established a special agency named the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC).

  7. core task of reform • The SASAC stated that the core task of Chinese enterprise reform is improving corporate governance, it further stated that the emphasis in this process should be on reconstructing enterprise incentive mechanisms

  8. What difference between traditional system and the new which based on managerial entropy and dissipative structure?

  9. theoretic analysis • The second law of thermodynamics: energy runs along the direction of attenuation and can not be reversible in a closed system. • :management efficiency • :organizational structure constant • :factors affecting the organization • including: organizational structure, information, policies, culture and others, .......

  10. theoretic analysis • “the dissipative structure”, ----- the common characteristics for all biological and social system • The symbols have the same meaning as the former

  11. Current situation of incentives in SOEs in China • Executive salaries and incentives in state-owned enterprises have been a key problem and a hot issue in Chinese society. • According to statistics, executives of state-owned enterprises earned about 60 thousand US dollars in 2008, This is far below the international level. • There is a lack of incentive methods, e.g. no “ESOP” for top managements in SOEs. • A consequence has been the “59 phenomenon”-- moral corruption before mandatory retirement at age 60.

  12. Two typical cases • Chu-Shijian case happened in 1997 when he was 59. Chu was appointed by the government administration and his twenty years’ total legal income was 120 thousand US dollars. • Chen-Jiulin case occurred in 2003. Chen was selected by a marketing method, his annual salary reached to 3 million US dollars. • Chu and Chen were convicted of corruption. These two cases illustrate that: 1) China still lacks an entrepreneurs' human capital evaluation mechanism. 2) how to combine incentive plan with evaluation system is still a common topic both in academic research and enterprise practice.

  13. Necessity of incentive system reconstruction • According to Maslow's Need Hierarchy theory, the individual’s desires always develop from a lower level to a higher level. Therefore the utility of an incentive system will decline while the executive’s desires increase, this is a gradual process of incentive entropy increasing. • The traditional incentive system doesn’t work well currently. Some managers lose interesting in work or maybe become more corrupt. • To lead the national economy on the way to globlization, Chinese enterprises need to restructure their incentive systems.

  14. Effect on incentive system reconstruction (1) • Incentive systems as an important part of enterprise systems, abide by the laws of managerial entropy and dissipative structure. • At different stages of enterprise development, managerial entropy and dissipative structure plays a different leading role respectively.

  15. Effect on incentive system reconstruction (2) • When managerial dissipative structure plays a leading role, incentive efficiency will give full play to the role of enterprise management and improve management efficiency. • Managerial entropy will increase gradually and will diminish incentive efficiency. When management entropy begins to take effect, the quality of management will decline.

  16. Effect on incentive system reconstruction（3） 1.Establish the evaluation index system ----Management Behavior and Characteristic Index and Weight

  17. ----Management Performance Index and Weight

  18. 2. Establish mathematical equation ， , :managerial entropy coefficient, the each unit for the cost of additional revenue. :performance :managementbehavior

  19. Effect on incentive system reconstruction（4） Making changes according to the calculation: ----In the enterprise management practice, establishing scientific evaluation tools and methods is a way to maintain incentive effectiveness. ----Management can judge the situation of managerial entropy and dissipative structure according to the calculation.

  20. summary • The relationship between managerial entropy and management behavior as well as enterprise performance is a one-to-one correspondence. • the goal for management is supervising and evaluating interior entropy and intervening in a timely manner according to changes in the interior entropy value. • Management should increase negative entropy flows while declining positive entropy, strengthen the management dissipative structure power, maintain incentives effect constantly.
