GEO The Global Equity Organization Tue, 14 Nov 2006 11:29:06 -0700 All Eyes on Silicon Valley After Fred's brief introduction discussing the multidisciplinary nature of the field of equity compensation, the conversation with Mark Schwanhausser demonstrates that diversity: the role of the "Silicon Valley state of mind," the view of equity compensation today by employees and employers, the perception of stock options in the Valley, the impact of the option backdating scandal and media's role in surfacing the issue, how journalists will deal with increased levels of executive compensation disclosure under the new SEC rules, the impact of the November election results and the Democratic Party's "to-do list" on growth companies and pay practices, and how the lingering effect of the stock market bust 5 years ago is haunting those who handled their employee stock options the wrong way.

GEO The Global Equity Organization Wed, 20 Dec 2006 12:51:51 -0700 Fred introduces the topic by noting the uniquely American approach to dealing with perceived executive pay excesses and the interesting corollary to the American Revolution. In the conversation with Alan Judes, they explore the similarities and differences between US and UK approaches to dealing with issues surrounding the amount of pay being delivered, the forms being used, and the processes for addressing the concern. Are stock options good or bad? Should performance contingencies be required for all-equity based pay? What about severance and golden parachutes? And who should be deciding all of this? Is more information enough? Perhaps the notion of cultural differences are just appearances, and we are getting to the same place on different paths, or maybe we really are headed in different directions.
