Customer Reviews

A good overview, targeted towards the tax professional

This was a good, concise overview of stock options, but most of the detail concerned tax treatment of various situations. Not being a tax person or accountant, I could still get some good information about my company's stock option plan but I would recommend this book only to people with a good basic understanding of accounting and tax rules.

All aspects of stock options succinctly explained

This book is an invaluable reference for any business owner or advisor contemplating the use of stock options to improve a company's performance, motivate employees and create an ownership culture. The National Center for Employee Ownership, the impetus behind this book, is a national treasure, as far as I'm concerned. Their mandate is to democratize the workplace to best reflect the demands and dynamics of the 21st Century Global Economy. This book uniquely addresses everything a company needs to consider regarding stock options: the business, financial, accounting, legal, securities and human resources/organizational development aspects. You cannot find a better resource or more accessible book in the stock options arena.

A valuable and authoritative book about stock options.

The Stock Option Book is a valuable source of authoritative current knowledge and thinking about stock options for readers whose background may be business, professional, academia, or government. To be effective, a book of this nature should offer a broad perspective. The experiences of a broad range of experts is more important than that of a single expert. Editor Scott Rodrick of the National Center for Employee Ownership has chosen some of the best known stock option experts to contribute to this book. All have been actively involved in the evolution of employee stock option plans. Each chapter in the book stands alone and is complete in itself. While this produces some overlap in certain of the chapters, it eliminates the need for the reader to refer to other chapters, and it provides valuable reinforcement of important concepts. This book is another excellent publication about employee ownership and participation published by the National Center for Employee Ownership.
