Features: Since the 1970s, the income distribution models of enterprises in developed countries have undergone profound changes. Profit sharing, market value sharing, and ownership sharing have become widely popular, while management rights sharing has also been emphasized. For example, over 60% of French listed companies implement profit sharing, more than 50% of U.S. listed companies widely grant stock options to employees, 60%–70% of Americans hold company stocks, and 85% of German workers participate in corporate democratic management. This new income distribution model is particularly prevalent in high-tech enterprises. To some extent, the essence of this change is that knowledge capital has gradually gained the same distribution status as shareholder capital. The income distribution determined by knowledge capital and shareholder capital employing labor and purchasing technology is undoubtedly a revolution. The revolution has just begun. This book summarizes the income distribution revolution since the 1970s, analyzes the forefront of the knowledge society: income distribution for innovators, the development models of successful companies, and new concepts of the knowledge economy and life. It briefly reviews the history of income distribution and proposes the income distribution theory of the knowledge society: the theory of distribution based on contribution. The book systematically elaborates on the principles and methods of the theory of distribution based on contribution, including the principle of distribution based on contribution, the principle of regulation based on need, and the four models of distribution based on contribution: contribution-based shareholding, contribution-based sharing, contribution-based joint venture, and contribution-based remuneration. It also uses specific examples to illustrate the four distribution models. This book can serve as a reference for economists, entrepreneurs, corporate human resources managers, and university teachers and students. For high-tech enterprises, venture capital enterprises, and enterprises aspiring to enter the international market, the reference value of this book is even more evident.
