Review
This book [is] a key reference work and probably the definitive volume on the subject...As a private buyer and compensation and benefits specialist I thought it was worth every penny, my copy is already well-thumbed and notated. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has a professional or serious interest in the subject of directors' remuneration. --Ian Davidson, benefits and compensation blogger

I am a writer myself on corporate governance and for some time have been looking for an authority who could explain to me the current policies and regulatory regime in the UK on directors' remuneration. This is such a thorny and political subject. I have found a complete answer to my quest however. The book deals in a clear and acccesible format with the regulatory regime, theory and practice, reward strategy and architecture, remuneration design and the role of chairman and directors. It has useful Appendices. I have used it now several times and have found the answer on each occasion.Just what the company doctor ordered!

Directors' pay is a highly complex area with a multitude of rules, regulations and codes of practice; and that is only in the UK. "Directors' Remuneration Handbook" is an outstanding reference book and guide to this area. It deals in concise terms with issues such as reward theory and practice, strategy, design and the host of issues including stakeholders, pay paradoxes, topical discussions, relevant codes and statutory regulations around the subject.
It is a weighty book with 52 chapters and the same number of tables. The book index runs to nearly thirty pages. While it is aimed very much at the UK market it has some very useful commentary on US and other jurisdiction's' practice. Cliff Weight is very aware of his target audience of reward specialists, Non-Executive directors, company secretaries, academics and those with a detailed interest in this topical subject. He moves from the general to detailed technical discussion, such as issues around using Monte Carlo simulations for share option pricing, in an easy to follow way, without being dry and dusty.
The chapter layout is clear and logical allowing readers to dip in and out of the topics that are of interest. The executive summary at the beginning of the book is, in my view, a "must read" for anyone who wants to get an understanding of the paradoxes and issues within the world of executive pay. It discusses, among other things, the Principal Agent problem in a very clear way, the issues caused by the differences in time horizons between CEO's who have a median service of four years; and the vastly different perspectives of long-term shareholders and other key considerations. The summary also includes seven suggested remuneration strategies depending on where the company is in its lifecycle.... Read more ›
