in HBR
SVA President Steve
O'Byrne and INSEAD Professor David Young show that current and expected
future pay make little contribution to top management's incentive to
increase shareholder value in 'Why Executive Pay is Failing' in the
Harvard Business Review. The vast majority of top management's
shareholder value incentive comes from its stock and option holdings.
To use pay effectively, companies need to give managers fixed share
interests in stock appreciation and economic profit improvement and
abandon competitive pay policies that create incentives for value-less
revenue growth.

What
Investors Need to Know about Executive Pay
In
a Journal of Investing article on "What Investors Need to
Know about Executive Pay" Steve O'Byrne and David Young show how
investors can calculate comprehensive measures of top management's incentive
to increase shareholder value and its incentive for value-less revenue
growth. They explain the flaws of the conventional approach to executive
pay and present their research on the impact of top management "wealth
leverage" on company performance.

of the Journal’s web page).

get compensation committees and compensation directors 'doing pay-for-performance',
instead of just talking about it in airy terms".
