PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT TRACK IN EURAM CONFERENCE
OSLO, NORWAY
May 17 - 20, 2006
Track in 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
 The measurement of intangible assets
 Performance measurement across supply chains and extended enterprises
 The use of performance measurement in public sector and not for profit
organisations
 The alignment of appraisal/compensation systems and performance measurements
 The development of forward looking measures and predicting performance
 The alignment of performance measurement and strategy
 The link between performance measurement and the planning and budgeting
processes
 Theoretical developments in performance measurement
 The design, implementation and use of performance measurement and
management systems
 Performance measurement context, process and content
 The development and implementation of performance measurement systems
 Updating and refreshing performance measurement systems
 Measure and measurement system review practices and audit techniques
 Dysfunctional aspects of performance measurement
