There are many recommendations put forward on the way CEOs pay levels are reviewed and controlled. Although some include stockholders and board of directors, and others take legislation form (Case 7). Therefore, this paper will analyze CEOs compensation by answering the questions below.

1. Explain the potential adverse impacts on strategy implementation when the CEOs of companies receive extremely high compensation.

Many CEOs pay come from stock options they also are able to purchase a significant amount of stock in a company which will shift the ownership stake within the corporation. This can lead to board manipulation and possible conflict of interest and can affect the strategy implementation in the corporation (Dow and Raposo, 2005; Whelton, 2006).

Another difficult impact of CEO high compensation is the importance that it puts on the short term proceeds and less effort on long term tactic to the companies performance. Often the CEO incentive packages reward short term performance and not focusing on the long term performance of the company.
