Which of the following statements most accurately describes the difference between private and public firm managers?

A)
 Because managers in a public firm are often paid with incentive compensation, public managers may take a longer term view than private managers.
B)
 Because managers in a private firm are concerned with having the firm go public, private managers may take a shorter term view than public managers.
C)
 Although managers in a public firm are often paid with incentive compensation, public managers may take a shorter term view than private managers because shareholders often focus on the short-term.


Although managers in a public firm are often paid with incentive compensation such as options, shareholders often focus on short-term measures such as quarterly earnings and the consistency of such. Management may therefore take a shorter term view than they otherwise would. Private firms should be able to take a longer term view.
