Abstract:Market share objectives are prominent in many industries, especially where managers pay much attention to league table rankings. This paper explores the strategic rationale for giving managers incentives based on market share, motivated by evidence from executive compensation practice in the automotive and investment banking industries. Strategic incentives for market share dominate the well-known sales revenue contracts analyzed in much of the literature, but perhaps surprisingly also lead to less competitive… Show more
“…Taking this fact into account, we should reformulate the model and examine the robustness of this result with respect to both foreign firms and the differentials of each firm's cost. As the third extension of our paper, we should examine whether the above result is robust against the assumption that each firm adopts other delegation regimes, for example, the market share delegation case presented in Jansen et al (2007) and Ritz (2008) and the relative performance case in Miller and Pazgal (2001). These issues are left for future research.…”

“…Yet, there is evidence suggesting that CEO compensation is linked with own market share (Peck, 1988;Borkowski, 1999). Ritz (2008) and Jansen et al (2007) formalize contracts combining own profits and own market share. Thus, an interesting direction for future experimental research could be to expand the firms owners' strategy space by allowing them to compensate their managers with contracts combining own profits and own market share as well.…”
In a quantity setting duopoly we experimentally test the ability of managerial compensation schemes to provide a commitment device aiming at gaining leadership in the product market. The novelty of our experiment is the choice between Relative Performance and Profit-Revenue based rewards. In line with our model, the former are chosen more frequently than the latter. Output reacts to the contract terms in the expected way, although it tends to exceed the predicted levels. Firm owners tend to use more balanced weights for their managers' objectives than the theory predicts.
“…The previous studies on average revealed a significant positive correlation between these variables (Szymanski et al, 1993). But recent empirical results suggest that the relation between these two depends on competitive and strategic context and the fabricated or erroneous impacts that form a great part of the criteria used for measuring this relation (Ritz, 2008).…”
Section: Roe=net Income Margin X Equity Turnovermentioning
The aim of this study is to reveal the major determinants which have impact on financial performance of paper and paper products firms listed in Borsa Istanbul. We examined the impact of the firm specific, industry specific and macroeconomic factors on Return on Assets (ROA) and Return on Equity (ROE) in paper and paper products firms listed in Borsa Istanbul during the period from 2011/01 to 2014/09 by using panel regression. The results show that except for Sales to Asset Ratio, firm specific and industry specific factors have statistically significant and material impact on both financial performance indicators. As macroeconomic factor, the impact of foreign trade deficit on the performance indicators is relatively weak. Through macroeconomic variables, commercial loan interest rate has no statistical significance for both ROA and ROE. The empirical result suggests that the impact of the variables on ROE is stronger compared to ROA.
