Résumé

An Introduction to Executive Compensation analyzes package elements and, drawing upon practitioner and academic literature, leads readers through the development of optimal plans under varying circumstances. By passing general issues of employee compensation, it focuses exclusively on the subjects that make this politically sensitive topic so important to corporations and shareholders alike.

Most of the material on executive compensation is written by consultants and thus has little theory and much selling of services. Much of the economics and finance literature on executive compensation betrays a lack of knowledge of how these consultants actually get paid. Steven Balsam balances theory and practice, and his generous use of examples makes this work readable and approachable for nonacademics.
