Strategic Performance Management ― A Managerial and Behavioral Approach

Strategic Performance Management brings together the fields of strategic management, strategic management accounting and organizational behaviour, to analyse and improve the link between organizational strategy, systems of planning and control, and performance-driven behaviour.

By assessing market conditions and customer expectations, and linking them to a solid operating plan, an organization can focus its resources on activities that produce the greatest return on investment. Strategic Performance Management teaches readers, whether business students or executives, how to avoid errors and counter ineffectiveness; it provides methods and techniques to implement strategic performance management and support organizations in their pursuit of more performance-driven behaviour and better performance.

New to this edition:

- New introductory chapter defining strategic performance management, its processes and its benefits
- Revised chapter considering ICT architecture for strategic performance management systems
- Revised and improved coverage of performance pay, strategic action plans, and barriers for implementing strategic performance management
- Updated and revised case studies

Strategic Performance Management is an ideal text for students on MBA programmes, or covering strategic performance management or management control on specialist postgraduate courses or final year undergraduate modules. It will also appeal to business executives keen to build a more successful, and more profitable, organization.
