The benefit resulting from this situation must be distributed

In our country where the weakness of economic culture is unfortunately persistent and the perception of business as a source of progress and prosperity is one of the more negative of all developed countries, the beautiful, legitimate and some new idea of profit sharing should be better defined to be better understood. I the idea of questioning the good intentions of our President which merit the franchise and political courage on this subject as on the other. But, having to repeatedly experience the accounts of the company which I was the leader in business, my testimony committees is designed to remind that the "profit", when there is one and it is due to the "operations" of the company and not exceptional results, is not reduced to the "sharing" of a balance which, after having set aside a third for investmentsbecomes the issue of a duo, and more often a duel between the shareholders and employees.

Once actually quantified and funded investment needs and their amount may mechanically result from a percentage of the profits, the first recipient of the "sharing", is the State levies the tax on the profits of the recipient companies: it is not shameful! It is normal (except when, as was the case, a flat tax is levied on companies making profits). If it is not shameful, so why not say and do know Then, companies have suppliers of raw materials, consumables, grey matter, services. At each A chaque que l' entrepreneur à ou subit la hausse des A que pratique que l' accepte ou subit that the contractor or undergoes rising practice l' l' accept or undergoes A la la des de fois que des des de fois que in both that de fois que undergoes la la des des des ou a chaque que l' entrepreneur à ou subit la hausse des A que pratique que l' accepte ou subit la des de fois que subit la des ou subit la undergoes la la

But, in fact, you know companies without customers Curiously, it does not talk about very often in the great debates on business. And yet, on the ground, it is the daily concern: growth, quality and price are the foundation of the proper conduct of the company and all the rest follows. When we invoice a customer loyal and former 100 and that, under the threat of leave you, it requires that your invoice be reduced to 85, is it not a distribution of profit For several years, this phenomenon is common in most of our economy. Some companies that have measured the evolution of the components of their profits on the last three years have clearly identified that performed price reductions have reached amounts in absolute value than each of the other components of the benefit. Everyone knows that some large multi-year contracts contain so-called "productivity improvement" formulas to reconvey to the client part of the margin, alleged in progression through improved productivity. Customers have been and are today, in many companies, the main beneficiaries of "sharing" of profit. This is not to complain, but simply to say!

Finally remaining shareholders and employees: their community of interest, it is "prosperity" of the company, set in the broad sense as a situation of growth and well-being. The benefit resulting from this situation must be "distributed". It is already in part through the mandatory and optional laws, since General de Gaulle, to distribute to staff a portion of the recorded profits, after removal of the State and partner suppliers and clients of the company. It is certainly possible to go a little further, but it will be difficult and possibly dangerous to mechanically by a mathematical formula applicable to all categories and sizes of companies.

Tracks to seem to be a better causation between the operational results of the company and distributions to shareholders and employees, and some symmetry between the shareholders and employees, possibly popular distributions over a multi-year period. Take advantage of the current period and the great debates that it generates to avoid simplifying shortcuts and slogans that reduce knowledge. Explain the business, it is the myth of Sisyphus, a fascinating exercise to tirelessly repeat things true and understandable by all, regardless of their accounting expression. The "profit" is only a result; only identification and an explanation of its components is conducive to a better economic culture and meaning.
