The AIG ComplexThis is a featured page

Definitions:
1. The principle of giving senior management, executives and board members excessive compensations and bonuses even when they have proven themselves to be incompetent in performing their jobs.

2. The planning of extravagant incentive retreats for incompetent management and executives.


3. A state of economic denial whereby an entity believes that the cause of its fiscal failure is not due to the actions and/or lack of actions by its senior management in ensuring that the investment practices of the institution are based on sound economic practice.

Origins:
The origin of the AIG Complex is debatable. However it is factual to state that the American Insurance Group (AIG) did not invent the complex. The AIG Complex is a direct result of the systematic deregulation of the financial markets that started during the Reagan era.

etharmon Opinion: Which Company Model Would You Like To See More Of? 0 Nov 22 2008, 10:56 AM EST by etharmon

Clearly, the AGI Model does NOT work.

I am a big fan of John Macky. His stocks are suffering right now; however, the circumstances surrounding Whole Foods Stock loss is a direct result of a merger tied up in court, the economic crash, and low consumer confidance.

What do you think? What other company models do you admire?
Do you find this valuable?
