Is Executive Salary too High?
Drs. Terry Grant and Gerry Grant talk about their studies into executive salaries at S&P500 companies. Legislation over the past 18 years has required companies to disclose more and more about the compensation given to CEO’s and other top executives. Listen in to their findings of how fairly these compensation packages are awarded.
Both Dr. Terry Grant and Dr. Gerry Grant are professors in the Accounting Department of Mihaylo College of Business and Economics, California State University, Fullerton. Dr. Terry Grant is Associate Dean there.
