| Abstract: |
| •
|
This paper shows that the role of managerial incentives is highlighted by a relatively complex relationship between technological
competence and international diversification. By studying a sample of Standard & Poor’s 500 member firms, we explore the relationships
between technological competence, managerial pay, and international diversification.

|
Results indicated a curvilinear relationship (an inverted U-shape) between technological competence and international diversification. |
| •
|
In line with agency theory, contingent pay (stock options and bonuses) was positively related to international diversification. |
| •
|
Beyond these direct effects, both contingent and non-contingent pay (cash compensation) moderated the relationship between
technological competence and international diversification.
