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.Administrative agenciesGreat BritainEvaluationCase studiesExecutive departmentsGreat BritainEvaluationCase studiesGovernment productivityGreat BritainCase studiesIndustrial productivityGreat BritainCase studiesAdministrative agenciesEvaluationExecutive departmentsEvaluationGovernment productivityIndustrial productivity354.4107/6Carter Neil1958,944984Klein Rudolf142646Day Patricia1940-944985MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996199865203316How organisations measure success2133394UNISA
