By Lee Drutman
 

Has corporate America finally had it with short-termism?

"Built to Last: Focusing Corporations on Long-Term Performance," lays out a strong case against a destructive short-term focus that has infected American capitalism in recent years.

Other major business policy stalwarts, The Conference Board ("Revisiting Stock Market Short-Termism"), the Business Roundtable ("Breaking the Short-Term Cycle") and the  Chamber of Commerce ("Enhancing America's Long-Term Competitiveness: Ending Wall Street's Quarterly Earnings Game") have also recently sermonized on the pathologies of short-term thinking.

According to the authors, "Our results demonstrate two factors substantially increase the likelihood of financial misrepresentation: extremely low performance relative to average performance in the firm’s industry, and high percentages of CEO compensation in stock options."
