R&D intensity and executive compensationbased on China's listed IT companies

Abstract

Abstract: R&D investment is both an impetus for growth and a source of competitive advantage for IT companies. The executive compensation plan based on company performance may impede the R&D investment. The relationship between the R&D investment and the executive compensation in China's listed IT companies is examined. The result indicates that the boards of director respond to and promote the R&D investment through the executive compensation plans. The result also suggests that the executive compensation plans are more likely to focus on the top management teams than on the CEOs.

Key words: R&D, executive compensation, innovation
