Bloomberg BNA explores the outcome of recent research from Pearl Meyer and the Institute for Compensation Studies (ICS) at Cornell University’s ILR school, where the data show that total shareholder return (TSR) as an incentive metric does not lead to better company performance in the future.
The publication talked with Pearl Meyer Chairman David Swinford and Linda Barrington, Executive Director at ICS, about why this might be the case and how to rethink aligning executive pay to corporate strategy.
