Evaluate the new long-term incentive plan. Would the company have been better off doing something else? Or nothing? Will this plan encourage managers to make decisions that are more long-term oriented than they would have in the absence of the plan? Will the plan cause managers to be more conservative in the presentation of their planning numbers? How costly will this be? Should the performance indicators be different for each type of business? Can real growth be measured in every business? Should the company have continued with some form of profit sharing? How much incentive compensation, as opposed to salary, should be provided? What (if anything) should be done if one year is so bad that several years of payoffs are threatened
