Assuming they are awarded ethically and within the law, stock options are often touted as the perfect “alignment” mechanism for management incentives.
a) Why is that?
b) In the case of a multi-division corporation, sometimes “phantom stock” or options of phantom stock, will be issued in order to create a tangible measure of the performance of a specific division of the company. If you were trying to set a value for the phantom stock, how might you do it?
a) Many times , it offers pay differences among employees working to different levels. Generally, top executives will get huge some even the business will perform to average outcomes. It may raise to an inferiority complex to middle and operational level managers and employees due to many behavioral aspects of the workplace and corporate settings.
b) I will analyze the legal provisions related to Phantom stock and then frame it to those employees who wish to work as per the long term contractual offers of my organization. We shall also adopt certain bonds which will act as a security if an employee leaves in a hurry . My aim will be to stop the loss incurred to my business by offering Phantom stocks to certain groups of employees.
People working at top level management of the organization will be assigned to certain ethical and value based goals to be achieved along with monetary goals then they will be allocated to certain Phantom stocks.
