    Dear sir
    For this paper at Q5. The requirement is assess the performance measurement and performance management. I know the performance measurement is to quantitative the effectiveness and efficiency, that is to say use the figure to support your argument.
    however, in the examiner answer, the answer for performance measurement is relatively same with the performance management. do you think it is right?
    I want to ask a general question, what factors or ideas should be come up with when we answer the Q about the performance measurement?
    thanks in advance!

    The aim of performance management is to get an organisation to perform better. However, they first need to work out what they mean by good performance (they might go back to their mission and stakeholders to find that out, and also their generic strategies).

    Knowing what’s meant by good performance allows performance metrics to be devised to push the organisatoin and its people in the right direction.

    Some organisation see as part of good performance excellent customer service. If so they must measure that.

    Some organisations do not think customer service is a high priority (eg some cut price airlines) so they wouldn’t try to measure that, but they would measure other factors such as how many scratch cards are sold per flight to raise extra revenue.

    Dear Mr Gromit

    With regard to the performance measurement/management please advise:

    if a company alter its normal budgeting approach into a beyond budgeting approach, will it be the change of performance measurement or performance management?

    Many thanks.

    It might be a performance management I think. Performance measurement is how to measure the key success factors and some problems countered when measure the factors.
    So change budgeting approach should be performance management, it did not involve the measure factors.

    Could be both. You are changing how performance is measured (not to a preset budget) and that will presumable alter performance.

    I don’t think it’s worth worrying about.
