Executive Compensation and Compensation Structures Discussion
Please do APA format
J.P. Morgan, the iconic financier, is reputed to have estimated the proper compensation for an organization’s chief executive officer to be 20 times the salary of its lowest paid employee. Today, however, the average CEO is compensated at 200 times the rate of the lowest paid employee.
In your estimation, what should the distance between highest- and lowest-paid actually be? Explain your reasoning for either a larger or smaller gap between employee and board member compensation and highlight potential benefits and drawbacks to your chosen compensation structure.
