Abstract

Drawing on research conducted over a number of years in a range of different organisations, how payment systems can be designed and implemented to increase the likelihood of success is explained. In addition, it is suggested that a participative approach to change can produce beneficial consequences for companies largely because the process of consultation can itself lead to greater understanding and commitment.
