Book Description
The Harvard Business Review paperback series is designed to bring today's managers and professionals the fundamental information they need to stay competitive in a fast-moving world. Here are the landmark ideas that have established the Harvard Business Review as required reading for ambitious businesspeople in organizations around the globe. The works collected in Harvard Business Review on Measuring Corporate Performance--including the three groundbreaking articles on the balanced scorecard by Kaplan and Norton--offer managers practical guidance for measuring their intangible assets (customer relationships, internal business processes, and employee learning) and aligning corporate strategy accordingly.
In the knowledge economy, a company's success rests as much on its ability to measure the performance of its intangible assets (such as customer relationships, internal business processes, and employee learning) as on its aptitude for monitoring traditional financial measures. Yet the tasks of evaluating the latest performance measures and aligning your corporate strategy accordingly pose serious challenges to managers who must balance daily business demands with long-term strategic goals. The works collected in this volume - including three seminal articles on the balanced scorecard by Kaplan and Norton - address these challenges, offering insights from such leading thinkers as Peter Drucker, as well as practical guidance for developing today's relevant measures.
