Pay executives for their real performance

Article Abstract:

Executive compensation must take into account the return or shareholder value that an executive's performance brings to the corporation. Earnings-per-share, return on equity and growth from earnings do not present an accurate measure of the executive's performance and may create business problems in decision-making. Economic value added gives the most accurate measure of the real worth of executive contribution to shareholder wealth. This measure considers business risk taken in capital employment.
