[edit] Controversy about compensation for CEOs
It's only a debate among non-economists. Put it in perspective: the average professional athlete makes more than the average CEO. Who contributes more to society? I won't argue the question either way, but the fact that the answer is unclear (or, at least, that there is a lack of agreement) proves my point. Wikiant 13:53, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
Shouldn't this article mention something about the debate about the excessive wages/perks CEOs enjoy? Borisblue 05:12, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Confusion
This article doesn't really tell me what powers the CEO possess in a company, or the difference between the CEO, president, and chairman of a company. --Apostrophe 06:49, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
- That comment was made in December 2005. It's now January 2007 and the article still doesn't say much of anything about it. This is not a good thing, IMO. RobertM525 06:55, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Countries' "CEOs"
Anyone mind if "The term "Chief Executive" is also sometimes used to refer to the politician who is the active ruler of a nation, in circumstances where the titles are not clear. For example, in Israel the Prime Minister of Israel is the nation's chief executive, while the President of Israel is not." is changed to "The term "Chief Executive" is also sometimes used to refer to the politician who is the active ruler of a nation, in circumstances where the titles are not clear. For example, in Spain the Prime Minister is the nation's chief executive, while the King is not."
The reason to my proposal is that jewish people are often seen as the capitalists, and it might not be good to further extend this image by using their government as an example of a capitalist company-like system. --HJV 00:10, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
- Countries don't have CEOs. The have chief executives, not chief executive officers. The parts of this article about government leaders should be moved to the Head of government article, or perhaps a separate "Chief executive" article should be created. JHP 02:57, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Skill Requirements
I originally added the skill requirements and I can't see what is false about it.Patchouli 01:25, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Europe
The article states "In the European Union there are two separate boards". This is not always the case, and varies a lot from country to country or depending on the company. In Germany for example it is very common for there to be two seperate boards, whereas in France it is much less common. laug 19:21, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Pluralisation
Is the correct plural form of chief executive chiefs executive or executive chiefs? Ben Hawkins 23:01, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] standardizing names
Shouldn't the name be Chief Executive Officer (with caps). After all, it is a formal title. Chief Financial Officer, but Chief operating officer uses lower case. Some standardization is needed. Cacophony 04:50, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] capitalisation
the capitalisation of the subject is ambiguous in the article
