Projects
Functional roles and compensation schemes for Top Management Teams
This study examines key functional roles within the top management team—such as Chief Operating Officer (COO), Chief Financial Officer (CFO), and others—and analyzes how the compensation of these executives relates to firm performance. The project aims to uncover whether specific roles are more strongly tied to organizational outcomes and how compensation structures reflect strategic priorities within firms.
High-Frequency, High Performers
This project explores the underlying drivers of success among consistently high-performing public companies. It begins by empirically identifying firms that frequently outperform across financial and strategic metrics, then conducts in-depth case studies of each to pinpoint distinguishing factors such as organizational structure, compensation schemes, governance practices, and leadership styles.
