Royal Bank of Scotland Slashes C.E.O.'s Bonus - NYTimes.com

Royal Bank of Scotland Slashes C.E.O.'s Bonus - NYTimes.com:
In less than an hour I will be teaching on how monitoring and public opinion do influence firms, I guess we have a new example:

"Royal Bank of Scotland announced on Thursday that it would pay its chief executive, Stephen Hester, an all-stock bonus of £963,000, or $1.5 million, less than half what he received last year.

The bank, which is 82 percent owned by British taxpayers, had come under pressure from the country’s prime minister, David Cameron, to rein in bonuses for top executives."
