5 PREFACE V Preface The idea of studying executive pay was born in a lecture on option valuation in spring 2002 at the Norwegian School of Economics and Business Administration NHH. At that time, I started wondering how companies that had granted large amounts of stock options to their executives would react to the sharp decreases in share prices that could be observed since Based on this interest, I wrote my NHH master thesis about "Employee stock options and falling share prices" investigating a sample of Norwegian IT companies. These companies were especially likely to both have granted substantial amounts of options and suffered from severe declines in share prices. The topic of executive pay continued to attract my interest, mainly because I felt that it offered opportunities to make a real contribution to academic researchers and policy makers alike. In summer 2002, I wrote my master thesis at the University of St. Gallen HSG. I investigated the determinants of executive stock option plan adoptions of Swiss stock- listed companies. Major results were that both large outside shareholders and CEO duality influenced whether companies would adopt stock option plans. At that time, very little information about executive pay was disclosed in Switzerland. However, the Swiss Stock Exchange SWX issued new listing guidelines that required companies to disclose detailed information on Corporate Governance starting from the annual report 2002 to be published in Part of this information was the total compensation of the highest- paid member of the board of directors and the total compensation for the top management team. With these guidelines, the way was open to empirical studies on executive pay in Switzerland, a topic that had received much attention in the US for a long time. The goal of this dissertation was twofold. On one hand, I wanted to make a contribution to the international research community interested in top executive pay. By developing and testing an innovative and broad measure of the link between managerial power and pay as well as complexity and pay, I am confident to have made such a contribution. On i the other hand, this work should provide a detailed and comprehensive overview of the executive pay in Switzerland. By presenting an extensive and updated review of the literature and detailed statistical data, I hope to provide valuable input for compensation consultants, HR managers and policy makers on this highly contentious issue.
6 VI PREFACE I am indebted to my interview partners and all participants of the survey used in this work. Interview partners were Gary Steel, Head of HR and secretary to the compensation committee of ABB, David Tankel, Managing Director of New Bridge Street Consultants, Hanspeter F~issler, member of the compensation committee of Daetwyler, and Prof. Dr. Rolf Dubs, chairman of the compensation committee of Schindler. Further, I would like to thank all persons who supported me in writing this study. My special thanks go to my academic advisors, Prof. Dr. Winfried Ruigrok and Prof. Dr. Simon Peck, for their valuable guidance and suggestions as well as for the academic freedom I was granted during the preparation of this paper. I also appreciated the instructive comments of Elin Therese Dahl and Peder Greve, who reviewed drafts of the manuscript. Zurich, June 15, 2006 Lukas Hengartner

23 SUMMARY XXIII Summary This paper examines the roles of complexity and power as explanations for executive pay level and mix. It is hypothesized that complexity and power are positively associated with the level of compensation. Further, I hypothesize that complexity is positively and executive power negatively related to the proportion of executive compensation that is based on stock options and restricted stock. Despite numerous research articles investigating variables associated with complexity and executive power and their effect on executive pay, a broad conceptualization of both complexity and power with respect to the setting of executive pay is missing. This dissertation attempts to close this gap. For a sample of 199 Swiss stock-listed companies in , I collect a large number of archival variables to empirically test the effects of complexity and power constructs on executive compensation. I augment these results with a sample of 47 survey-based responses to obtain a richer conceptualization of executive power and firm complexity. Multiple regressions are run on an individual variables basis as well as on factoranalyzed categories. Results are broadly consistent with hypotheses. Complexity is positively associated with CEO and top management team compensation levels and equity-pay mix. Managerial power is generally positively associated with pay levels. Contrary to my hypothesis, I also find evidence that some dimensions of executive power are positively related to the proportion of equity in total compensation.
