Abstract

This is a Spanish version. In 1969, Megalith centralized its financial and control functions. John Boyd, senior vice president for finance, hired four brilliant young managers to 'bring the group out of the stone age.' By 1975, this management team had created a near-perfect finance office of 630 employees. But two of the 'young stars' have just quit, and Boyd is sure the constraints of salary ceilings are responsible. He talks with a compensation consultant (Hay Associates).
