Dan,

You need to END the author field with a comma if you want multiple words
listed in the order the are typed, rather than inverted, as in "last name,
first name". Thus, for corporate authors, enter into the author field:

SPSS Inc,

This is actually a usefull feature: By automatically inverting those cases
where in which no comma is found, it is possible to enter names (by far the
most common entry in most people's author field) either as "last name,
first name" or as "first name last name" (no commas). This is covered in
the manual.
