Global study led by IMD Professor Nuno Fernandes reveals that US CEOs are not paid more than foreign counterparts

Thu, 09 Jun 2011 13:46:00 +0100

It is widely assumed that CEOs from the United States earn more than top executives from other countries around the world, reflecting excesses in the US’ pay practices. Research from IMD Professor Nuno Fernandes reveals a different reality.

Risk-adjusted CEO pay, controlling for firm, ownership and board characteristics, shows that the average US CEO earns a salary comparable to foreign counterparts. Indeed, for a similarly sized firm, with comparable ownership and board characteristics, US CEOs earned $2.4 million per year, trailing behind the UK, which stands at $2.5 million (see chart below).

For the first time in decades, Singapore (1) and Hong Kong (2) have topped the USA (3) in IMD’s World Competitiveness Yearbook rankings. They are so close, however, that it would be better to define them as the leading “trio”. In the first 10 places: Australia (5), Taiwan (8) and Malaysia (10) also benefit from strong demand in Asia. Switzerland (4) maintains an excellent position characterized by strong economic fundamentals (very low deficit, debt, inflation and unemployment) and a well-defended position on export markets. Sweden (6) and Norway (9) shine for the Nordic model, although Denmark (13) surprisingly loses ground, in particular due to the pessimistic mood expressed in the survey.

Science has been warning of climate change’s dangers. Heads of state from around the world are scheduled to arrive in Copenhagen in December to address this issue during the United Nations Climate Change Conference.
However, according to IMD Professor Jean-Pierre Lehmann, political leaders of the major industrialized and industrializing countries are engaging in a most unedifying game of blame and bluff, threatening the outcome of this meeting. He offers a solution:

Sharks and Fish: A night of poker at IMD alumni club event

Fri, 09 Oct 2009 14:19:00 +0100

What does poker have to teach about business? Quite a lot as a poker evening, organized by the IMD Lausanne Alumni Association, demonstrated Thursday night. Poker requires critical decision making in situations where information is restricted and nothing is what it appears to be. No surprise then that poker is being used as a business teaching tool. Nick Galtos and John Harwell, Thursday evening’s hosts, see a close connection between the demands of poker and business strategy. Galtos and Harwell began planning the evening with the Alumni Committee last February.

IMD Professor Jean-Pierre Lehmann on the Pittsburgh G20 Summit: “A small step in the right direction; but is there enough time?"

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 10:18:00 +0100

Expectations regarding the outcome of the Pittsburgh G20 Summit were quite low, hence it can be said that it has surpassed expectations. In particular there was a fear that following the Obama administration's somewhat aggressive protectionist move on the imports of Chinese tires that there could be a spat between China and the US in Pittsburgh. As the US-China relationship (what some refer to as G2) is by far the most important bilateral relationship, a dysfunctional US-China relationship will make the entire G20 dysfunctional. That was averted.

IMD Professor Stéphane Garelli on the state of economic affairs in Switzerland (video presentation)

Wed, 16 Sep 2009 11:52:00 +0100

Switzerland is in a strange situation. In the midst of our global recession, the attacks against Switzerland’s banking secrecy are growing louder and the criticisms are multiplying: Switzerland is too expensive, too small, too spoiled and too divided. And despite that, Switzerland’s economic performance is far from catastrophic. The country’s unemployment rate is one of the lowest in Europe, inflation doesn’t exist and in seven years exports have more than doubled. In the 2009 World Competitiveness Yearbook, Switzerland is number one for quality of life, and in polls Swiss people generally express happiness.

Financial crisis or not, rapid change and uncertainty are the norm in the ICT and telecommunications industry. What does Twitter mean for a phone company or a mobile phone manufacturer?

How do you work with consumers in developing countries who each have a cell phone (or three), but no access to a PC? The pace of change in this industry is mind-boggling.

Mon, 31 Aug 2009 14:19:00 +0100

José Luis Prado, the CEO, was under pressure from headquarters in New York, as his $900 million business was traditionally one of the growth engines of PepsiCo International. “I have moved from being a hero to bum, so quickly”, was the way he put it.

Cicely Brown: MBA 2000 graduate

Tue, 18 Aug 2009 15:50:28 +0100

Back in 1999, when Cicely Brown was managing a medium-sized printing company’s sales and commercial department, she was always questioning whether the way she was working and the decisions she was taking were really those of a professional manager. So, she mused, the best way to find out is to get an MBA. Thirty-three at the time, she applied to IMD only as she wanted to ensure that she was among a class of like-minded and experienced individuals “rather than bright young things straight out of university.” A decade and three office jobs in London down the line, she now finds herself working for a small NGO in the heart of Africa, in Nigeria.
