Concerns of the CEO

Article Abstract:

Twenty-six chief executive officers (CEOs) from a wide variety of companies and industries were interviewed about their concerns, agendas, and behavior. The 40 CEO concerns are listed and then explicated in terms of four different frameworks: stages of planning, levels of strategy, roles of general manager - CEO, and arenas of economic decision making activity. It is found that the executives frequently concern themselves with institutional and corporate strategy, but seldom with business strategy and competitive markets. Issues of management development rank first as an area of concern, especially when combined with personal problems covering the total organization. CEO orientation is commonly inside the company, rather than outside.

How corporate performance measurement systems inhibit globalization

Article Abstract:

Corporate performance evaluation procedures can inhibit the globalization process. The reason for globalization is value creation, but accounting-based performance measurement systems can cause managers to avoid value-creating globalization opportunities because these types of systems have a short-term focus that fails to reflect the value of the opportunities. Accounting-based systems result in poor allocation of resources, poor decisions, and inappropriate rewards for performance. Accounting, finance, and personnel management departments should cooperate in addressing the potential links between value-oriented performance and compensation systems.
