• Sommario/riassunto: Throughout the 1980's the British Civil Service devoted much time and energy developing indicators to measure the performance of government. Never before had so much stress been placed on accountability and performance; a trend which will be reinforced as ; government continues to devolve activities to agencies and looks for methods to assess their performance. How Organisations Measure Success analyses existing methods from their origins in the 1960's to their revival in the 1980's as part of the Financial Management Initiative and its apotheosis in the 1990's Next Steps Initiative.
