Too much is not enough : incentives in executive compensation
The scholarly literature on executive compensation is vast. As such, this literature provides an unparalleled resource for studying the interaction between the setting of incentives (or the attempted setting of incentives) and the behavior that is actually adduced. From this literature, there are several reasons for believing that one can set incentives in executive compensation with a high rate of success in guiding CEO behavior, and one might expect CEO compensation to be a textbook example of the successful use of incentives. Also, as executive compensation has been studied intensively in the academic literature, we might also expect the success of incentive compensation to be well-documented. Historically, however, this has been very far from the case. This book studies the performance of incentives in executive compensation across many dimensions of CEO performance. The book begins with an overview of incentives and unintended consequences. Then it focuses on the theory of incentives as applied to compensation generally, and as applied to executive compensation particularly. Subsequent chapters explore different facets of executive compensation and assess the evidence on how well incentive compensation performs in each arena. The book concludes with a final chapter that provides an overall assessment of the value of incentives in guiding executive behavior. In it, the book argues that incentive compensation for executives is so problematic and so prone to error that the social value of giving huge incentive compensation packages is likely to be negative on balance. In focusing on incentives, the book provides a much sought-after resource, for while there are a number of books on executive compensation, none focuses specifically on incentives.

Innovation Inducement Prizes at the National Science Foundation
Following a congressional directive in its FY 2006 Appropriations Act, the National Science Foundation asked the STEP Board to \"propose a plan for administering prizes to individuals or teams that achieve novel solutions to specified social or research needs or capitalize on recognized research opportunities.\" A committee under the STEP Board concluded that an ambitious program of innovation inducement prize contests would be a sound investment in strengthening the infrastructure for U.S. innovation and that NSF, although inexperienced, is well suited to designing an experimental program that could add substantially to understanding regarding the appropriate goals of such contests, the motivations of participants and sponsors, and the rules and conditions that contribute to successful contests. The committee recommends that NSF start off with a series of small-scale prizes ($200K - $2M) in diverse areas while beginning to plan for much more ambitious contests ($3M-$30M) that would address significant economic or social challenges and be conducted over several years. The report addresses many of the generic issues that arise in administering innovation prize contests (types of contests, eligibility to participate, disposition of intellectual property rights, and decisions regarding awards) and explores 7 research and technology fields that might lend themselves to prize contests.

On behalf of all others similarly situated: Class representation and equitable compensation
Class actions require class representation. In class actions, plaintiffs litigate not only on their own behalf but \"on behalf of all others similarly situated.\" For almost fifty years, federal courts have routinely exercised their inherent equitable authority to award modest compensation to deserving class representatives who help recover common funds benefiting the plaintiff class. These discretionary \"incentive awards\" are generally intended to compensate class representatives for shouldering certain costs and risks-which are not borne by absent class members-during the pendency of class litigation.
The ubiquity of permitting class action incentive awards ended in 2020. In an extraordinary ruling, the Eleventh Circuit held that incentive awards are per se unlawful under late nineteenth-century Supreme Court precedent. This holding has ignited a new controversy in the federal courts with far-reaching implications for the future of class actions.
Much of the existing legal scholarship on incentive awards analyzes policy rationales, quantitative trends, and legal standards involving the questions of \"When?\" and \"How much?\" to compensate class representatives. Only recently have scholars turned their attention to the more foundational question of whether federal courts have a sound basis to allocate incentive awards to class representatives under any circumstances. This Note weighs in on that debate by revisiting the Eleventh Circuit's recent decision to categorically ban incentive awards.
More importantly, this Note looks to the future and confronts the reality that other federal circuit courts or the Supreme Court could eventually adopt the Eleventh Circuit's position on incentive awards. Facing that unsettling prospect, this Note presents three proposals-one for policymakers and two for plaintiffside class action practitioners-that could save the equitable tradition of compensating class representatives and reinforce the viability of the class action device itself.

The orange revolution : how one great team can transform an entire organization
The authors shows that breakthrough success is guided by a particular breed of high-performing team that generates its own momentum, an engaged group of colleagues in the trenches, working passionately together to pursue a shared vision. They have determined a key set of characteristics displayed by members of breakthrough teams, and have identified a set of rules great teams live by, which generate a culture of positive teamwork and lead to extraordinary results. Using a wealth of specific stories from the breakthrough teams they studied, they reveal in detail how these teams operate and how managers can transform their own teams into such high performers.--[book jacket]
Book
Effective executive compensation
When it comes to creating an executive compensation program, it can be hard to provide the company's leaders with the incentive they need to continue doing their best, without becoming too extravagant. This book gives readers the techniques and understanding they need to design a rewards strategy that will motivate performers while benefiting the entire organisation. Taking a careful look at the complicated state of executive rewards, this no-nonsense, practical guide provides readers with a complete methodology for motivating management to accomplish critical business goals. Instead of a 'one-size-fits-all' approach, the book uses case studies and examples to illustrate what factors should be considered - including corporate environment, key stakeholders, people and business strategy, and organizational capabilities - when designing a program that will benefit both their company, and the people who fuel its success.
