In our issue of February 1981, we published an actual case study by Brian Sheehan and Donald Knox on a form of Employee Financial Participation being practised at the Explosive Factory of ICI Australia Limited, Melbourne. In this current article Brian Sheehan, interested in this area as part of his job as Head, School of Business, Phillip Institute of Technology, and very much part of his personal preoccupation, has provided us with a second study on an example of Employee Financial Participation actually being practised. This type of article is particularly welcome because, although we have declared our commitment to publish as many articles as possible on the practical application of personnel management theories and results of academic research, we find a dearth of practitioners who are prepared to write about their experiences and of organisations who are prepared to disclose details of their innovative practices.
