The SAS Institute, and David Russo, His Vice President for Human Resources, Were Considering the Challenges Facing the Company
GRADUATE SCHOOL OF BUSINESS STANFORD UNIVERSITY HR-6 REV. JANUARY 1998 SAS INSTITUTE: A DIFFERENT APPROACH TO INCENTIVES AND PEOPLE MANAGEMENT PRACTICES IN THE SOFTWARE INDUSTRY Jim Goodnight, one of the co-founders and currently the chief executive of the SAS Institute, and David Russo, his vice president for human resources, were considering the challenges facing the company. SAS Institute, a large and successful software firm, faced an increasingly competitive job market and, because of its ongoing growth, the need to recruit a talented work force that could help it build and maintain its intellectual capital. But, over the years, SAS Institute had developed a culture and set of practices, particularly around issues of outsourcing, recruiting, compensation, and benefits, that really differentiated it from virtually all of its competitors, particularly those in the Silicon Valley. The question facing Goodnight and Russo was simple: could and should the Institute maintain its unique approach to pay and other practices? And if it did so, could it reasonably expect to continue to thrive in a world in which software talent was a scarce commodity? To answer that question, they had to consider to what extent SAS’s success had been because of its management philosophy and practices, or to what extent it had succeeded in spite of those practices because of its being in the right place at the right time in the development of the software industry. COMPANY BACKGROUND SAS Institute was founded in 1976 by Dr.James Goodnight and three other colleagues, Anthony Barr, Jane Helwig, and John Sall. The original product of the Institute was designed to perform statistical analyses of data from, for instance, agricultural experiments. -
