PURPOSE AND DESCRIPTION OF THE COURSE
Performance management is about measuring and rewarding performance. At the course you will learn to understand both the “hard” and the “soft” part of Performance Management. We use an interdisciplinary framework that includes economics, psychology and sociology. The framework enables you to include and develop different parts of an organization’s strategic management, evaluation practices and reward strategies.
You learn what the new ideas about performance management contain, and how the balances between result control and development, forward-looking and backward-looking and quantitative and qualitative relate to performance management designs critical for value creation in the individual organization.
