Executive

INTRODUCTION In this assignment we were tasked to answer questions that relate to the development of executive managers. Executive managers are in a nutshell problem-solvers who are responsible for negotiating and processing information in a way that will best benefit the organisation. They are at the top of the hierarchy, which makes them vital to the success of an organisation. Executive members are people as well, which means that they also lose track sometimes of what is necessary to…

begins with evaluating the purpose of the research. Purpose The Erik de Haan and Duckworth (2013) study begins with identifying a purpose of the study. Spelling it out in bold print, their purpose is obviously to argue for a new way to study executive coaching outcomes (Erik de Haan, & Duckworth, 2013, p. 1). This purpose appears to be ambiguous. Clearly stating some limitations in rigorous data collection as well as making the assumption the research to be gathered may be only partially…

of the United States' top corporate executives, who are said to be taking home ever-fatter paychecks, while the incomes of lower-level employees have stayed flat. For instance, CEO’s are being overpaid, hurting the shareholders of the company, and their employees. The effects of executive pay have many negative results and there should be an improved system to use for the average worker to live on a fair comfortable pay. In the U.S. in the past 50 years’ executive pay has skyrocketed off salary…

Knowing what makes up executive pay is an important aspect in making the connection between compensation and incentives to the principal-agent problem. Executives might be more interested in pursuing their own well-being such as the executives of Enron. Frydman and Jenter suggest that if the executive’s interests are not aligned with the interests of the firm then that can be extremely devastating to a company (page 7). An executive might make a decision that will better benefit…

65). According to Evans and Hefner (2009) “Over the past two decades, public opinion that executive compensation is excessive and inequitable has been fueled by the phenomenal growth in CEO pay relative to the salaries of rank and file employees” (p. 65). Brown, (2006); De George, (1988); Hanly, (1992) emphasize “Golden parachutes are contentious…

Contrary to this finding, a study done in 2008 by Emmory and colleagues identified a bilingual executive processing advantage but no inhibitory control advantage in middle-aged samples. Bialystok conducted another study in which she identified a bilingual advantage in inhibitory control but no bilingual advantage in executive processing in old-aged samples. It turns out that her results were due to a monolingual advantage in certain trials, and there was no…

Compensation Packages Senior executives at Holiday Inn are compensated differently than other employees. An executive compensation package for Holiday Inn consisted of their base salary, benefits, cash bonuses, and long-term incentives. The board is in charge of setting the base pay for the executives and it is quite competitive. Many benefits that executives receive tend to differ from that of lower level employees as well.

evidence, Erard shows that bilinguals are better cognitive thinkers. His research reveals that going from language to language is easier. (This is the same for multitasking, and focusing on certain tasks, while later transitioning with ease.) Their executive functions were more mature, and the effects of aging were lessened. Since language knowledge improves brain health, the mind lives longer alongside multiple languages or dialects. Bilingualism in children proves this point, since children…
