From the Paper:

"It is recommended that the concept of a collaborative framework be undertaken within S-S Technologies, defining incentive, bonus, profit-sharing and retention strategies for key contributors regardless of which division they are a member of. In addition, this strategy also opens up the opportunity for knowledge acquisition and management, development of sharing financial metrics to the development, engineering, and product introduction levels, in addition to quantifying cross-division collaboration. Ultimately, S-S Technologies need to create a collaborative framework that accentuates the most critical need of all when it comes to individual contributor performance, and that is the rewarding of exceptional collaboration in addition to employees seeking out every opportunity to "own" their jobs instead of merely doing them for their salaries. Internalizing their objectives at a personal level will happen with the development of a collaborative framework recommended from this analysis."
