Xổ số 3 miền trực tiếpWhat does it mean to be a responsible business in the time of crisis? This might seem clear for industries most directly affected, such as supermarkets and healthcare companies, but how can every company show leadership and play its part? How can investors and ordinary citizens support and reinforce the actions that businesses are taking?
Alex Edmans and Tom Gosling hosted a webinar, as part of London Business School's 'Beyond the Crisis' series, collectively drawing on decades of academic research and practical experience to show how responsibility can be translated from idealism to realism
We brought academics and practitioners together for a one-day conference focused on executive pay.
Xổ số 3 miền trực tiếpBusinesses are facing criticism that compensation for executives is too high, particularly compared to workers, and contributing to societal problems. However, many companies claim that pay levels are not only justified but key in retaining top talent and ultimately growing their business.
We set out to present the evidence, promote diverse viewpoints from all sides, and engage in informed debate.
Participants included a member of parliament, academics, investors, reward directors, consultants, journalists and representatives of public and private companies.
