RESEARCH FIELD
Key words: Performance measurement, performance management, strategic
performance measurement systems, balanced scorecard, business performance
Track title: Performance management
Today, many organisations place strong emphasis on the adoption and usage of broadspectrum performance management systems (PMS) – as opposed to traditional
financially focused systems. Partially, this has been driven by the popularity of
“balanced scorecards”, a management fad developed by Kaplan & Norton over a
decade ago. In the past, most research in performance measurement and management
systems were focused on the design and implementation. But, there is still an interest
in how to design, implement and use such systems and frameworks; especially in the
development of forward looking measures. Research trends show that the debate is
moving onto "how does performance measurement integrate with other organisational
management systems and processes, such as supply chains?" "What is the effect of
performance measurement on business performance?" "if not, under what
circumstances is performance measurement effective and not effective?" “Is there any
framework to analyse forward looking measures?”
This track is specifically directed towards ’Performance Management: Empowering
Innovations in Theory and Practice’.
The sub-themes will include:
 The impact of performance measurement on intermediate factors and on overall
organisational performance
