But there is never any real supporting detail or precise and relevant numbers from the other side. There isn't from either side. That's the problem. If outsized CEO pay really is correlated with outstanding performance, why doesn't somebody produce a convincing peer reviewed economics paper on the subject? Even the failure of NEXT was unlikely to change that. It showed his ideas on building a computer company were not viable. Which, BTW is true of his return to Apple as well. Apple as a PC company was not, and is not today viable. It is only viable because it changed into an consumer electronics/entertainment content provider. I suspect the tech world is littered more with ex CEO's who made it big at their first major venture, and have more or less failed at most subsequent ones, as opposed to hitting a string of home runs.
