RSU Implementation Priorities from Delphi-AHP Survey of 79 Korean Experts

79 experts, including legal, accounting, strategy, HR, and IR professionals, participated in a Delphi survey and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) study. The research, authored by Won Albert Park and last updated in March 2026, derived key decision-making items for introducing and operating Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) across four industry groups in Korea. It statistically verified content validity and agreement levels using Content Validity Ratio (CVR) and Kendall's W.

Use Cases

• Benchmarking RSU implementation priorities for specific industries based on the derived AHP results.
• Analyzing differences in strategic focus between legal/accounting groups and strategy/HR/IR groups regarding equity compensation.
• Designing industry-specific talent retention strategies based on the identified key priorities like 'Core talent incentives' or 'RSUs retention period'.

Strengths

• Data is derived from a structured three-round Delphi survey with 31 initial experts.
• Statistical validation of content validity and agreement using CVR and Kendall's W is documented.
• AHP analysis includes results from 48 leaders across four distinct industry groups, with 12 panelists per group.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The study explicitly excludes the financial and healthcare industries, limiting its generalizability.
• The dataset is very small at 5.5 KB, indicating limited scope and likely a summary of results rather than raw survey data.
