Annotated bibliography


Fernández-Aráoz, Claudio. "Whom to Pay is More Important than How Much or How." How To Fix Executive Pay. Harvard Business Publishing, 2 July 2009. Web. 5 Apr 2010. .

This is a blog were Claudio Fernandez writes about his opinion on the discussion about how much to pay a CEO. Since there’s been scandals on about abusive pay and the value of the performance, he states that we should focus on keeping what he calls “Greatness” that means the affectivity of the leadership of the person, instead of worrying about how much is that person earning. This blog also explains what are the obstacles of the job of an executive and support his point of view all throughout. This blog from Claudio would be a contributor to my paper by proving me the idea of a discussion and taking a side on it. Also, it is useful to support my other resource about what are the skills needed to be an executive. The blog comes from a Harvard Business Review students and graduates. This is very reliable. It might not have been updated from last year, but it still has useful and important information.



Nelson, Bob, Peter Economy, Kerry Sommerville, and Laura Town. Wiley Pathway SUPERVISON Managing to achieve results. Wiley, 2007. Print.

This resource is a book written by different authors that all talk about business management. It includes a chapter based on ethics and it gives examples about corporation’s CEO like Jack Welch who has made a change in the way of managing. This resource can help me by having more evidence and examples about corrupt behavior for my controversy. It also gives me more background information about becoming a Supervisor or an Executive. This is a reliable source because it is written by an association that has sold many books and plus it is a book I have used for a class of mine that is really helpful with the information it has.





Rummel, John. "Auto company CEOs rolling in dough. " People's Weekly World
19 May 2007,Alt-Press Watch (APW), ProQuest. Web. 7 Apr. 2010.

This source has a database about what is happening in the car industries. It explains the point of showing that while people are getting laid off on 2007 starting the recession, also in the other hand the CEOs from prestige companies are doing just the opposite. They are gaining more power, recognition, and money. It seems as if for each employee lay off means at least a million dollars for an Executive. I could use this to show in my paper a representation of how it’s affecting the economy. This source will be used in my counter argument points also, to show the ethical part about this job. This site is reliable since I got it from a database that the college’s library provided. Once again, it has useful information and it helps me prove my point.







“Top Executives” United States Department of Labor. Occupational Outlook Handbook, 2010-11 Edition. 2009. Web. 5 Apr 2010. .

In this source, it covers all the statistics from the paying range to the outlook of the executive career. It describes in detail the skills needed for the career and gives examples of situations one might face. It also tells about the nature of the work and the work environment. The training, other qualifications and advancement are also described here. I would use this source as my statistical explanation and kind of to give a background about the career. It would help me to start setting up my paper. This source is credible because it has been written by the government. It was updated last year, but it’s not that old.
