Stable development of enterprises relies on a stable and effective management team, and executive stock options (ESO) are a institutional arrangement of residual claim rights in modern enterprises. It refers to the right granted by the owners of a company to its operators to purchase a certain number of the company's shares at a predetermined price within a specified period.
