Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume describes the underlying assumptions that are made in devising the most commonly used measures of business unit performance. It analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of various approaches. The book also presents a more radical approach involving the use of DCF-based measures and considers how accounting information can be usefully supplemented by other sources of information, particularly in the context of the divisionalized organization. The rigorous analysis gives a balanced account of the main problames encountered in using each approach. The conclusions presented in Business Unit and Divisional Performance Measurement provide a firm foundation upon which a sound management control system can be erected.

Book excerpt: Our purpose in this paper is to examine divisional performance measurement methods and related aspects of the rules of the game that govern the behavior of managers. Performance measurement is one of the critical factors that determine how individuals in an organization behave. It is one aspect of what we call the organizational rules of the game, which consist of (1) the performance measurement and evaluation system, (2) the reward and punishment system, and (3) the system for partitioning decision rights among individuals in an organization.Performance measurement includes the objective and subjective assessments of the performance of both individuals and subunits of an organization such as divisions or departments. Performance evaluation is the process of attaching value weights to various measures of performance to represent the importance of achievement on each dimension.The reward and punishment system relates the rewards granted to individuals to results measured by the performance measurement system. Rewards and punishments include nonmonetary factors such as honor, attention, and rank, as well as monetary factors such as salary changes and bonuses.We analyze the peculiar characteristics of common divisional performance measures associated with what are often called cost centers, revenue centers, profit centers, investment centers and EVA and expense centers. We analyze the counterproductive incentives induced by these various performance measures and the conditions under which each of them could be sensibly used in an organization.

Book excerpt: This paper uses findings from a field study of performance measurement practices in eight firms to identify and describe some of the characteristics of firms divisional and division manager performance evaluation practices. Most economic and accounting theories of performance measurement focus on the use of information to evaluate managers performance ex post. This research revelas that performance evaluation in the eight sample firms consists of three components: (i) ex ante screening of potential division managers to identify candidates with preferences closely aligned to the firm and its senior managers (ii) ex post monitoring of incumbent division managers and (iii) intensive planning and budgeting processes. This study also identifes an important determinant of firms divisional performance evaluation strategies namely the extent of interaction or coordination between divisions. Firms whose corporate managers manage operating divisions as autonomous un-related business - +Autonomy Promoters - control divisional activity through ex post monitoring of results achieved. By contrast firms exploiting synergies between divisions - +Synergy Exploiters - supplement their ex post monitoring programs with either rigorous ex ante screening of potential division managers or intensive planning and budgeting systems. More specifically Synergy Exploiters whose divisions interact and share resources directly - lateral synergy exploitation - use ex ante screening wherease those exploiting synergies and sharing resources indirectly through the corporate office - vertical synergy exploitation - use planning and budgeting systems. The implications of these findings for performance measurement and control theories are discussed.
