Davos Open Forum 2007 - CEO Salaries: How High Will They Go?

CEO Salaries: How High Will They Go?
The pay of top managers is rising to breathtaking heights, and critics are becoming increasingly vocal about this situation.
1) What is an appropriate salary for a manager? Who decides and defines it?
2) Should CEO pay be coupled with the performance of the company? Should there be a set proportional relationship between the highest and lowest salaries within a company?
3) What does the new legal framework in Switzerland bring? Should shareholders be able to vote on executive pay?

this forum is awful, nothing against the topic, but everything seems to be going wrong. It's very annoying to listen to the technical problems and the translator is boring

This organization needs a new audio person. I know someone who could do that job very well. Why can't he get the job?
