Abstract

The primary purpose of this teaching case is to aid students in understanding how executive compensation plans are utilized to achieve organizational goals and to then construct their own executive compensation plan for the CEO of Greenleaf Grocery, a fictional retail business based on an actual company.


Students have the opportunity to create a comprehensive executive compensation plan using salary, bonuses, stock options, benefits, and other compensation tools.  Additionally, the case provides the opportunity to discuss the use of both short-term and long-term incentive compensation.  The company in this case is poised to undertake an initial public offering of stock and retaining the current CEO is viewed as critical for this next phase.  


 The case affords the class the opportunity to explore ethical issues in executive compensation as well as other aspects of the organization’s overall compensation structure.
