Problem:
The huge compensation and benefit packages offered by many large companies to top executives are supposed to be great motivators. The question, however, is: these are motivators towards what? Are they motivators towards higher business performance or indulging in borderline to outright illegal and illegitimate financial practices?
Examine this question in the light of recent examples of charges against some corporations for illegal financial practices. Select Enron and two other companies for research on the matter.
