Praise for Executive Compensation and Author Steve Balsam:

“This latest book by Steve Balsam has something for everyone. It is a well-organized and well-written summary of compensation issues confronting the beginner or experienced practitioner, whether Compensation Committee member or student of the industry. And the issues are taken right out of recent news so that the reader feels that they are getting the ‘inside edition,’ complete with tables and charts to help explain the most complicated concepts.”

— Robert B. Jones, JD, CPA, CEBS, Innovative Compensation and Benefits Concepts LLC


“This is a thoughtful and comprehensive guide to the totality of executive compensation. Its detailed examination and explanation of the area should prove a valued resource to academics and professionals in the compensation field, as well as the merely curious.”

— Charles Elson, Director of the Weinberg Center for Corporate Governance
