| Sumario: | New managerial practices are not use on isolation. Managers use different organizational tools to maximize their firm’s profits and they interact with the pre-established practices of the company. This dissertation analyzes some of these interactions, evaluating their performance and their effects on worker’s behavior. The first chapter studies the allocation of decision-making rights on the firm when managers are able to choose her team composition in uncertain environments. The second chapter shows how input heterogeneity triggers productivity spillovers at the workplace and how social and monetary incentives affect the size and sign of spillovers. The third chapter studies the use of multiple performance measures on the design of incentive systems. There I study how the existence of performance threshold, the ratio of output/input prices and the workers risk aversion play an important role on the determination of the strength and the spread of the incentives. |
