Too much incentive to innovate? CEO stock option exercise and myopic R&D management J. Prod. Innovat. Manag. (IF 10.5) Pub Date : 2024-03-18 Xinchun Wang
Innovation is a key driver of firm success. To encourage innovation, firms often offer equity-based compensation, such as stock options, to better align CEOs' personal interests with shareholder value. Drawing on agency theory, we argue that stock options may not always benefit a firm by encouraging innovation. Instead, we demonstrate that CEOs intending to exercise their stock options have the incentive
