WEBER SHANDWICK CEO DEPARTURES STUDY
In a study of global Fortune 500 companies, the public relations firm Weber Shandwick has found that CEO turnover has risen 10 percent in the past year. Citing "stagnant markets, fierce competition and a complex business environment," the firm concludes that "as CEOs receive most of the credit when things go right, they are expected to accept the majority of the blame when things go wrong." And, as we know, things have been going very wrong as of late.
Study these trends by region (Asian-Pacific CEOs have the highest rate of turnover) or by quarter. The numbers also show statistics for CEOs who were euphemistically "Ousted Against Their Will" (North American CEOs had the highest rate).
DAILY TELEGRAPH: THE UK'S RICHEST YOUNG ENTREPRENEURS
First of all, you have to be under 40. Second, you have to make money and lots of it. Third, you have to have your main business in the UK. That's what will get you listed on the Daily Telegraph's Made It By 40 list. Take a look at this year's trends -- including a decline in overall wealth, the rise of Asian entrepreneurs and the growing fortunes made in the computer industry. This is a fascinating group of listees, including the hedge fund executive who is so secretive, there are no published photos of him.
