Abstract | This chapter discusses performance measurement. Many aspects of an entity can be measured, including the performance of the entity as a whole, specific divisions or even individual employees. Linking the performance measurement system to organisational objectives ensures that the focus is on the goals of the entity. Contemporary performance measurement systems include a balance between financial and non-financial measures, and between short-term and long-term measures. Such measures should be simple to apply and understand, and should link the operations with strategy and encourage beneficial behaviour. |
