Occupy Wall Street and other populist movements highlight public concern with executive pay, but managers and board directors are faced with increasingly difficult tasks that warrant proper compensation.
Our panel next week at DealFlow Media’s Activist Investor Conference in New York City examines how investors can keep executive pay in line with performance and company valuations.
We will be answering five important underlying questions:
- Is there (actually) a problem (with executive pay and company performance/value) alignment? (a recent NACD/Pearl Meyer survey of directors suggested that there wasn’t)
- Do financial incentives affect executive effort and decision making?
- What does alignment look like?
- What constitutes “proper” or “reasonable” executive compensation?
- What metrics are available to determine if executive pay is reasonable?
Joining me on the panel are:
Yaniv Grinstein, the Breazzano Family Term Professor of Management and Associate Professor of Finance at Johnson Graduate School of Management, Cornell University
Paul McConnell, a partner with executive compensation and governance firm Board Advisory
Stephen O'Byrne, President and co-founder of Shareholder Value Advisors Inc.
