The Role of Business in Social and Economic Development

Profit Sharing System at San Jose Kitchen Cabinets Manufacturing

From the start of business in 1982, San Jose Kitchen Cabinets was already sharing profits with
employees. Although this practice is not common, Mr Chan, founder and manager, had always been
of the belief that profit-sharing can aid economic stability and decrease unemployment.

The profit share percentage of employees was arbitrary, until in 1987, Mr Chan realized that, in any
economic activity or business enterprise, there are always two partners: labor and capital, and one
cannot exist without the other.

Thus, it followed that a 50/50 percent share would be logical. This profit share is over and above the
salaries and social security paid to the employees.

In addition, there was a cap on executive compensation: there is a policy that the compensation, both
salary and profit share, of the highest ranking employee should not exceed ten times that of the
lowest ranking employee.

All in all, a lot of efficiencies have been gained: the average return on equity from 1987 to the present
has been 30%, and high levels of job satisfaction have been felt throughout the organization.

Mission : To contribute in the study and promotion of social justice (in particular profit sharing)
Strategy for Sustainability : To develop a profit sharing system that is both advantageous to the
owners of business and the employees. A system that results in better net profit to the company in
the long term and much larger total compensation for the employees. A win-win formula. In the end,
society also benefits.

Profit-sharing has a positive effect of minimizing productivity-reducing conflict and generating


productivity-enhancing cooperation and innovation.

Businesses have a multiplicative effect.


1. In any economic activity or business enterprise, there are always two partners that are necessary.
2. The similarity of both partners is that before we can talk of profit sharing, we first have to satisfy
the basic needs of each partner.
3. In any business organization, weight of responsibility differs on each category of position.
