Rezensionen

"An important aspect of corporate culture is a strong performance culture that recognises and rewards the right behaviour beyond achieving short-term financial goals. This must be underpinned by an effective performance measurement system. The focus on ESG and digitalisation of businesses also challenge the performance management systems of many companies. The new edition of Ralph W. Adler's book provides a useful framework for approaching the design of a performance measurement system and is a timely reminder of the importance of an effective performance measurement system for a high-performing and ethical organisation."

"I love when a book not only contains all the relevant information but is written in a way that can be understood by many, not just elite academics. This is one such book. From what I have read, I would recommend this book for those studying, teaching, or working in the area of management accounting - with an emphasis on performance management. By critiquing and comparing respective early frameworks and providing a clear history of performance management, Adler has cleverly derived a new and original performance management framework. This conceptual model then informs the remainder of the new edition with the addition of ethical behaviours and digital business transformation. Providing detailed knowledge of prior research is essential to informing these new and improved ways of organizational structure and ensuring the capture of 21st-century innovations."

"This textbook does an excellent job of condensing and presenting in a manner understandable to students the multifarious field of performance management (management control). The framework developed and used throughout the textbook captures the various elements of performance management in a manner that can be readily applied in practice."
