Using real life examples of measurement gone wrong, this book details how each particular behaviour could have been foretold, and demonstrates what a manager needs to consider when creating measures and performance measurement systems. Each chapter explains the behaviour in terms of management and organisational theories, concluding with guiding principles to help readers avoid the many pitfalls of well-intended performance management. With cases drawn from the archives of the world-leading Centre of Business Performance at Cranfield University, this useful guide confronts the issues in detail and provides clear, practical solutions that make performance management work.Examples of poor management via measurement are increasingly showing up in the press, from the UK's MP expenses scandal to the demise of the banking sector.
