The Walt Disney Company
DIS found that “ISS has again substituted its opinion for the studied analysis and judgment of the Board as to the compensation that was appropriate to secure Mr. Iger’s services for the Company through mid-2016.” DIS attacks the peer group selected by ISS as well as the return on DIS stock during the tenure of its CEO compared to that of the S&P 500 index and four media company peers. DIS indicates that its CEO’s pay was completely in line with the compensation paid to the CEOs of its five media peers. DIS also emphasized that no up-front grants were given to the CEO to extend his tenure as CEO and that 90% of the potential value of his compensation package is in the form of performance-based bonus, performance-based RSUs and options.

    Dunlap Case

    The compensation package achieved Sunbeam’s goals of maximizing shareholders wealth. It motivated Dunlap to drive up the price of the stock. Although the short term profits benefited shareholders, no incentives to create a long term, profitable company existed. In fact, it gave Dunlap an even bigger incentive to sell the company once the stock price reached a high, favorable value. Dunlap’s compensation package consisted of little to no risk and had a ten year term. The restricted stock rewards became vested in two years. His purchase of 244,898 shares indicated that profits would drastically increase. Dunlap’s compensation package affected thousands of employees at Sunbeam. The compensation package favored shareholders but disfavored employees. They had no value in this model. The compensation package only protected shareholders wealth. The structure of Dunlap’s compensation package was aligned his views of shareholder primacy. He sacrificed values for a boost in stock price and economic efficiency. The stockholders of Sunbeam greatly profited, and Dunlap reaped a majority of the benefits. The compensation package should relate to performance in order to produce the right incentives. The compensation package provided Dunlap with an excessive amount of shares of stock and stock rewards, but at least it provided an…

    The Hershey and Tootsie Roll Company's Final Report

    Everyone remembers going around as a child for one night of the year dressed up as his or her favorite ghoul or storybook character and returning home with a sack full of delicious candies. There were always a variety of candy types, but most of these candies were usually made by two of the major companies in the industry. The Hershey Company and the Tootsie Roll Company were both well represented on this night. Both companies made so many different types of candies for young children to enjoy that the names would forever be imbedded in their minds. These treats were not just for the children, but for the children in all the adults as well. Taste and memories alone are not good enough for the companies to have had as long a tradition as the companies have indeed had. Both of these companies have had financial success due to their good business practices and well structured companies. They are financially sound machines with a wonderful history in the home as well as the market.…

    WorldCom’s Board of Directors were inactive, not knowledgeable, and inexperienced. A Board of Directors that is active, involved, and knowledgeable of the organization is an important factor of an effective control system. In addition, they were solely paid based on the appreciation of the company’s stock, therefore with their approvals of the many acquisitions, this allowed them to grow and hence a larger compensation. This practice focused on the growth rather than the best interest of the company.…

    United States Auto Industry Back on Top...of Ceo Pay

    Executive compensation has been at the forefront of discussion for a long period of time. Analyzed by academics, highlighted by the media, questioned by Congress, and scrutinized by the general public, the topic warrants much debate. In the 1990’s, total executive compensation increased substantially as companies began offering stock option programs; CEO’s of S&P 500 saw an average increase of 150%.1…

    Managing Segway's Early Development

    It was a cold dreary morning on December 20, 1999 as Dean Kamen – inventor, founder and owner of DEKA, a Manchester, New Hampshire R&D company – began his annual speech to his employees. The entire staff had gathered “to hear him talk about the past year, the year ahead, and whatever else had been gnawing at him lately. The speech was usually equal parts lecture, oration, pep talk, and homily, all of it seasoned with wisecracks. After the speech, Dean always called each employee’s name and gave out Christmas bonus checks, along with handshakes for the men and hugs for the women.”1[77] Bonuses were especially important at DEKA, where engineers worked for below-market salaries and received no stock options. Now Kamen was wondering if he could continue this approach. DEKA had attracted some of the brightest engineers because of Kamen’s allure and DEKA’s cutting edge projects. But for the first time, recruitment and retention were becoming issues. In the midst of the Internet boom, many of the most attractive engineering candidates were looking for positions that offered compensation packages that included stock options and salaries higher than what Kamen was willing to offer. Kamen’s long-time friend and most trusted lieutenant, Mike Ambrogi, had recently accepted a job at Sycamore Networks, which had offered Ambrogi a lucrative compensation package that included stock options. In 1999, DEKA had a difficult year, several projects were canceled or behind schedule, and many of the gathered staff had concerns that these cancellations and delays would diminish, if not eliminate, their bonuses. DEKA employees were also concerned about stock options, which had been promised only to employees on a secret project that many had never seen. Kamen had created a separate company within DEKA to design and manufacture a product that the team had nicknamed “Ginger.”2 Kamen…

    Ceo’s and Upper Management’s Acceptance of over Compensation Are Unethical During Times of Financial Struggle Within Organizations

    s the overpayment of CEOs and the effects these high base salaries have on businesses. Understanding that well compensated CEOs are generally quite productive and well deserving; there are those that seem to drop the ball and the business suffers. CEOs are hired in with contractual compensation packages, which do not give stipulations to cover incidents such as decreases in stock value, company downsizing, or bankruptcy. Many argue that CEOs are not compensated enough for the pressures they endure, that they are generally they first to receive pay cuts when the company is facing financial distress, and in some cases are first to be dismissed in order to save others in the lower echelon. Because of these compensatory packages given when hired, when the company’s financial stability is no longer solid, the CEOs are still guaranteed pay increases and incentives that they continuously accept. The Board of Directors may believe that their hands are tied and still feel obligated to compensate for past performance, or feel the need for continuous compensation for the purpose of retaining the employees. Regardless of their reasoning, the Board of Directors, are under pressure to make cuts that trickle down to the average workers. I will present, and offer support for my argument, that top executive’s over compensation is unethical during times when the company is in a financial struggle.…

    AIG’s predominate problem was that their corporate structure was “pay for performance” but did not allow the executives to have a downside if the risk they took did not pay off. AIG’s system did not reinforce the company’s core values, enhance cohesion and commitment to the goals and objectives of the company, and meet with the organizations overall mission and purpose. This “pay for performance” compensation system also seems to have driven the corporate culture to one in which the name of the game was to look out for yourself, rather than the interest of the firm.…

    This case examines the April 2007 decision of British music company EMI to suspend its annual dividend as the company struggled to respond to the effect of digital audio distribution on its core business. The EMI case is intended to serve as an engaging introduction to corporate financial policy and themes in managing the right side of the balance sheet. The case contrasts EMI’s storied success with artists such as the Beatles, the Beach Boys, Pink Floyd, and Norah Jones with its recent inability to succeed in financial markets. In light of takeover threats and restructuring costs, EMI’s CFO Martin Stewart must recommend EMI’s dividend policy.…
