We analyse data in search of correlations between the twelve pillars of competitiveness across, we outline and comment the findings, comparing them with results from our previous research performed over the member states of the European Union. What is specific in the application of ICA here is that we work with a set of elements (countries), whose belongingness to the set depends on their performance according to the set of criteria, and the set of objects varies over the years, although there are some core countries that regularly appear in the set. This however gives rise to a discussion about the comparability of the ICA results, and sheds light on both the method and the analysed set of countr...

First, to present the problem specifics, a broader Total Reward system is discussed together with the importance of proper structuring of the compensation system for executives to support company's goals, allowing attracting, motivating and retaining managers. The proposed compensation design model starts from incorporating a broad spectrum of benchmarks, expectations and constraints to those already incorporated in the early phase of the design of the executive compensation. In the design and testing phase a significant emphasis is placed on the flexibility and adjustability of the executive compensation package to external factors by testing, dynamically adjusting and stress testing the proposed compensation package already in the design phase. Then, we apply some elements of the theory of Generalized Nets (GNs) to construct the model of executive compensation design using the proposed approach.
