Recent findings on Oasis APAC Ltd about strategic management and business policy has been influenced by agency theory. Research was recently carried out to conclude whether “accounting-based bonus contracts create incentives for executives to select accounting procedures to increase the value of their bonus awards [Collins, Dhaliwal and Rozeff (1981), Watts and Zimmerman (1978) Healy (1982) and Hagerman and Zmijewski (1979)]. However, few studies have examined empirically how these short-term bonus contracts affect executives’ production-investment decisions. Larcker (1983) examines the association between long-term performance plan adoption and corporate capital investments and concludes that growth in capital expenditures for firms adopting performance plans was significantly higher than the growth in capital expenditures for a sample of control firms. Larcker (1983) and Brickley, Bhagat and Lease (1984) find that stakeholders react favourably to long-term performance plan adoption. Hence our goals will be to design a convincing compensation plan to motivate and retain the executives in terms of operational performance and the creation and protection of shareholder value in aligning executives’ and stakeholders’ interests. DISCUSSION Relying upon traditional economic literature (i.e. maximize own wealth), Jensen and Meckling …show more content…
The first component compensates agents for accepting higher levels of risk and transfers the risk from the agent to the principal in the form of greater levels of fixed salaries. Although a fixed salary represents a fundamental change in managerial compensation that could help stop abuses and curb excessive compensation, it can result in executives only applying minimal effort to sustain their jobs. Besides, there will be a lack of direct incentive for the executives to promote the firm’s performance because any gains in the firm value does not benefit them (Lambert & Larcker,

The War of 1812 was a furnished clash between the United States and the British Realm. The British limited the American exchange since they dreaded it was hurtful for their war with France and they additionally needed to set up an Indian state in the Midwest to keep up their impact in the district.

It can also lead to greater motivation among employees. By compensating workers for the fair value of their work, businesses are able to recruit and retain the best-qualified workers.

On the other side, inequality or unfairness in pay whether internal or external can result in low morale and decreased organizational effectiveness. For example, if employees feel they are being paid unfairly, they may restrict their efforts or leave the organization which damages the organization’s overall
Exercising your own ideals can be perceived as being rebellious in every society at time. People are expected to act, think, and behave in a way that safeguards everyone’s contentment. Ralph Waldo Emerson has a different view on this matter, in his essay Self-Reliance, he urges every individual to believe in their divine ideal and not to conform to society and its projections. In Emerson’s essay “Self-Reliance”, he urges for every human being to rely on their own intelligence and the genius within to make decision for themselves and to be their true selves.
Death, tragedy, and fate are just some of the themes in the play “Romeo and Juliet”, by William Shakespear, but were the tragic deaths of Romeo and Juliet really fate? No, Romeo and Juliet deaths were not caused by fate. Their deaths were caused by their own free-will, shown by Romeo’s rash decision making, Friar Lawrence's poor planning, and Juliets bad decisions. Romeo’s rash decision making is a reason for his and Juliet's deaths. This is shown after Tybalt kills Mercutio and, “Romeo kills Tybalt for revenge (3.1.88-142).”
In A Clockwork Orange and The Matrix, various techniques and the plots are employed to examine freewill. Juxtaposition and the storyline are used to explore whether freewill is possible. To exhibit that free will is important, the authors utilise the plot and similes. To demonstrate the consequences of free will, Burgess and the Wachowski Brothers use dialogue, similes and onomatopoeia, The Wachowski Brothers and Burgess both consider whether freewill is truly possible through the use of similes and plot. In A Clockwork Orange, Alex feels as though others around him are trying to take away his freedom and control him.
Philosopher, Ralph Waldo Emerson in his essay "Self-Reliance", examines that people should follow their instincts and ideas. Emerson's purpose is to tell people to trust themselves and their ideas. He adopts a didactic Tone in order to convey his transcendental thinking to the reader for what is happening during this time which is the Mexican war and slavery. Emerson achieves his purpose through the use of explosive diction. Emerson starts off immediately by introducing metaphors, paradox, and personification.
In his tragic play Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare suggests Romeo’s submission to fate results in his agony and ultimate demise, implying that ignoring one’s free will can have profound consequences. When Juliet inquires how Romeo found her balcony, he replies, “By love, that first did prompt me to inquire. … I am no pilot; yet, wert thou as far /As that vast shore washed with the farthest sea, I should adventure for such merchandise.” (2.2.85)
Would you allow someone you describe as ‘downright repugnant’ to be near yourself or your children? Allow them to represent your country or town and be a role model to younger generations? I have recently read an article that was written by you, Melissa Kite which was published on the 6th January 2015.

Reading Assignment #6 1. In order to keep top performers satisfied and productive, Steve Bates argues, there should be a substantial difference in the variable pay or merit- based salary increases that top performers and poor performers receive. Based on available research the increase needed to catch “anybody’s attention” should be a seven percent or eight percent increase in compensation. It also states that anything below that might be welcomed, but will not lead to substantially greater effort on the part of employees to increase business results.
Developing a reputable compensation plan for a medical facility can bring a lot benefits when properly developed. Although the Mapleton Family Medicine has presented nearly an excellent incentive system plan, there are still things that should be considered. 1.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION Executive compensation is a broad term which comprises of financial compensation and non-financial rewards given to an executive from their firm for their services. This package is decided by a company’s Board of Directors (consisting of independent directors). It should be designed in a manner which incentivizes the executives and motivates them to perform in accordance with the company’s goals and its long term growth. These packages generally include a mix of short-term incentives (including salary, annual bonus, benefits, and perquisites) and long-term incentives (including stock options and restricted shares). E.g. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella received a compensation package of $84.3 million for the software maker’s
The freedom of choice has forever had a connection in our everyday lives. We make choices every day without analyzing the true outcome of our decision. Some make choices more carelessly than others. However, they’re those who are affected greatly by choices made and those who can easily overcome them. The article, The Tyranny of Choice by Barry Schwartz, describes the differences between a maximizer and a satisficer and shows how a variety of choices is not always the best for a person.
A performance-oriented philosophy is followed; no one is guaranteed compensation just for adding another year to organisational service. Instead, pay and incentives are based on performance differences among employees. Employees who perform well get larger compensation increases; those who do not perform satisfactorily receive little or no increase in compensation. Thus, employees who perform satisfactorily should keep up or advance in relation to a broad view of the labour market for their jobs, whereas poor or marginal performers should fall
As per Brickley, the reward system must encourage the employees to stick to the organisation for longer periods as well as increase the motivation and commitment to the company therefore lead to the increase in productivity and profit maximising.
