James Ron (195 1 ~ 1906) was born in Glasgow, Scotland, where he received higher education. He is a British entrepreneur and management scientist.

The main contribution in management is to put forward a simple and easy wage system. Ron believes that when the piece-rate wage system is adopted, workers often have a tendency to set an informal output quota by themselves, and the agreement stipulates that it shall not be exceeded, so as to prevent employers from raising the output quota.

Ron published the book "Bonus System of Labor Remuneration" in 190 1 according to his own experience in implementing his own scheme in the factory, and expounded his own salary scheme.

Ron's scheme is relatively simple and easy to implement. Each task has a time quota and an hourly wage. If the laborer saves working hours, he will be given an extra bonus in the same proportion according to the percentage of saving working hours. Ron's own factory saved 20% of working hours in the first year and 37% in the fourth year after implementing this scheme. At present, Ron scheme is still applied in some engineering enterprises in Glasgow and other parts of Britain. Ron also believes that the determination of the wage system must be supported by the study of working hours and the analysis of working methods, and combined with other measures of scientific management.
