Expert Survey Results on Restricted Stock Units Framework for Korean Companies

A Delphi survey with 31 experts and an Analytic Hierarchy Process with 48 industry leaders analyzed the strategic implementation of Restricted Stock Units (RSUs). The study, authored by Won Albert Park and updated in March 2026, proposes an RSU introduction and operation framework, focusing on compliance, talent incentives, and industry-specific priorities. It excludes the financial and healthcare industries.

Use Cases

• Prioritizing RSU implementation factors based on expert-derived decision-making items.
• Comparing industry-specific priorities for RSUs across consumer goods, technology, resources, and infrastructure sectors.
• Benchmarking regulatory compliance and audit preparation requirements for RSU operations.
• Evaluating the relative importance of strategy execution versus setting, evaluation, and control stages.
• Designing talent incentive models and retention periods based on the study's AHP results.

Strengths

• Expert validation using a Delphi survey with 31 participants and statistical verification via Content Validity Ratio and Kendall's W.
• Industry-specific analysis across four GICS-classified sectors with 12 leaders per group for the AHP.
• Clear prioritization of factors such as 'Compliance with relevant standards' and 'Core talent incentives' derived from the AHP process.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset excludes the financial and healthcare industries, limiting its generalizability.
