Discuss the rethinking taking place regarding the time frame used in American business performance systems
Historically, American time frames for performance has been short term, often only one year. Presumably management tries to do what is best for the firm and its owners. Thus, shareholder wealth maximization should be the primary focus of management. Short term profit maximization does not necessarily result in long-run shareholder wealth maximization.
To encourage this different attitude, employees and management are being asked to take a longer run perspective. This is enhanced with employee stock ownership in their firm.
