Case Studies in Optimizing Executive Compensation Design

[full-text, 33 pages]
In 2007, the all-volunteer Executive Rewards Advisory Board of WorldatWork,
a group of practitioners working in the executive compensation
field, came together to produce the WorldatWork Executive Rewards Questionary:
Optimize Executive Compensation Design.
See - http://www.worldatwork.org/waw/Content/library/html/Exec_Model
This WorldatWork sponsored research report responds to a question that was
posed since the publication of the Questionary: Would the use of this one-of-akind
tool have had any effect on some of the highly publicized and embarrassing
executive compensation situations of the past decade. The simple answer,
as shown in this report, is yes. This report is designed to illustrate specific,
real-world corporate examples of how compensation plans may have differed
had the Questionary been consulted. It includes 10 case studies taken straight
from the headlines of the past 10 years. As in the Questionary itself, the
questions contained here are grouped into four primary areas:
Internal environment
External environment
Stakeholders
Disclosure and transparency.
