Foreword by Frederic W. Cook Preface Reviews

Reviews from prominent compensation and governance experts:

"A terrific resource for anyone with an interest in executive compensation. The authors are the leading experts. A much needed book."
      - Professor Edward E. Lawler III, Marshall School of Business, University of Southern California.


"For all those interested in Executive Compensation—be they HR professionals, CEOs, members of Compensation Committees or current or aspiring executives—this book is current, understandable and thorough; bringing needed perspective to this important but often maligned and misunderstood topic."     
        - John Hillins, Senior Director, Human Resources (Retired) Amgen

"Executive Compensation: The Professional's Guide to Current Issues & Practices provides a most comprehensive and thoughtful overview of all major subjects in today's executive compensation field.  It is a compendium of work by the field's earliest, best and brightest practitioners and is a must read for anyone working in the area.  It will not only emerge as a great resource but a reference that will prove invaluable for years to come." 
         
- Charles M. Elson, Director, John L. Weinberg Center for Corporate Governance, University of Delaware

"This new publication contains a wealth of information on the issues and actions involved in specific and diverse situations: from an analysis of regulatory changes, and the role of the compensation committee, to designing corporate & business unit plans; from pre-IPO and high-growth companies to divestitures and spin-offs. Woven through it all is the message that needs to be heard: the rules and expectations have changed, and the opportunities for well-trained compensation professionals to distinguish themselves have never been better."

          
 - William T. (Tim) Haigh, Managing Director, W.T. Haigh & Company, Inc.
