MICHAEL PORTER IDENTIFIED
TWO BASIC TYPES OF
COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE:
•
“A competitive advantage exists when the firm is able
to deliver the same benefits as competitors
•
but at a lower cost (cost advantage),
or deliver benefits that exceed those of competing

products
(differentiation advantage)…
THE “TOTAL REWARDS” VALUE
PROPOSITION
•
Compensation is only one of four issues that have
to be engineered and managed in such a way that
will sustain the company’s competitive advantage.
The others are a compelling future; personal and
professional development opportunities and a
positive work environment,.

THE “TOTAL REWARDS” VALUE
PROPOSITION
•
A compelling compensation plan becomes a
cohesive link within the total rewards strategy that
makes up a company’s value proposition for its key
talent.
THE KEY
•
In sustaining a competitive advantage, creating a
compensation strategy that would envision, create and sustain
a rewards system that will draw a compelling link are
•
company vision (where),
•
business strategy (how),
•
roles and expectations (who and what),
•
rewards (how much)
•
and employee vision(relevance).
•
This is called creating “line of sight”—and any company that
expects to have a competitive advantage must achieve it.
“If you pick the right
people and give
them the
opportunity to
spread their
wings- and put
compensation as a
carrier behind it-
you almost don’t
have to manage
them”. Jack
Welch
