The Director Compensation Project: 2009

By J. Robert Brown

Last year, we examined the compensation paid to directors of some top companies.  The posts also included the executive compensation paid to the CEO.

We have decided to repeat the project again this year.  The Compensation Posts have mostly been written by students who only this semester joined the staff of the Blog.  The only way to become a member is to compete.  This semester approximately 25 students competed (by writing a post on a relevant case) and only about half were accepted.  The Compensation Project is their invitation to posts on the Blog. Each post in turn was reviewed by a student editor, either Mark Dunn or Joe Aguilar. 

The students who work on the Blog are a hard working and dedicated bunch.  They do not receive credit for the effort but nonetheless commit considerable time to the endeavor.  These posts reflect that effort.
