Political Economy Perspectives on Performance Measurement

In: Performance Management

Abstract

This chapter explores the conceptual basis for performance measurement within political economy. It shows that competing perspectives in economic theory suggest different approaches to measuring performance — and that some perspectives even suggest such measurement is irrelevant or potentially counter-productive. It explores how key concepts in performance measurement are handled differently in each school of political economy, highlights the self-reinforcing nature of many of the questions asked within political economy, and offers some lessons from conflicting paradigms of performance measurement.
