Job evaluation is not going to go away. It has emerged and evolved through the industrial, and now the informational, revolution. Unless everyone is paid the same, there will always be a need to establish and institutionalize a hierarchy of jobs in the organization. The process should, and will, continue to be improved upon. The use of computer software will dramatically simplify the administrative burdens of job evaluation. Furthermore, new technologies and processes will enable organizations to combine internal job-evaluation information with labor market data to strengthen the internal consistency-external competitiveness model discussed above. 

Complexity/multiplicity of factors The external and internal environments of an enterprise include a large number of interacting factors. Market demand, intensity of competition, socioeconomic situation, labor market, and technology are examples of the extern environment factors. Product quality, process technology, distribution channels, and financial position are examples of the internal enviromnent factors.

Environmental services businesses carrying out cleaning and other cooling water services work may be stand-alone companies, but are often divisions of mechanical and maintenance services, consulting environmental or industrial hygiene firms, or water treatment companies. Major international water treatment companies have to be able to offer environmental services in order to obtain a share of the water treatment market in those countries where legionellosis has a high profile. In fact, they will usually subcontract much of the labor-intensive work to specialists. 

Internal costs, also called private costs, which are those appearing in company s accounts, as well as those incurred by consumers or other stakeholders. These costs have a dear market value. In this group we find conventional costs (materials, fuels, labor, equipment, etc.) and potentially hidden and less tangible costs, which are usually assigned to overheads in company s accounts (permits, post-closure care, liability costs, etc.).
