One thought on “Top U.S. CEOs rethink meaning of shareholder value

  1. Investing in employees and customers is a long-term strategy, whereas most companies seem focused on short-term returns for the shareholders. In the long-run, the quality of products and services is going to continue to go down in this type of environment, which will give other countries a competitive edge. How many good employees have been laid off to make the numbers look good for shareholders while at the same time the executive compensation in the same companies increased? It’s frightening.
