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.
Performance measurement tools covered in this chapter include the balanced scorecard, return on investment, residual income, and economic value added. Non-financial performance measures and issues relating to individual performance measurement are also discussed.
