But she will collect the full amount only if at the end of the three years HP stock has outperformed at least half the companies in the S&P 500. IBM is now granting its top 300 senior executives stock options that are priced 10% above market value, an uncommon practice that makes it harder for execs to cash out.

She emerged stronger, and so far so has the company. Producing $3.5 billion of merger savings after...
Gateway has also spearheaded an American-brand revival, as companies like HP, Dell, Motorola and even Zenith (a U.S. brand now owned by a South Korean company) try to grab market share. "It's driving traditional Japanese consumer-electronics companies crazy," says Peter Kastner, chief research officer at the Aberdeen Group.
