Abstract

In this paper we examine the performance of the target setting procedure employed by one of the largest savings banks in Spain, Caja de Ahorros del Mediterraneo, to evaluate the operating performance of its branch offices. We begin by evaluating the ability of the branch offices to meet the targets established by bank management. We then evaluate the targets themselves, and we find that the list of targets can be substantially reduced without significant loss or distortion of information to bank management. We then re-evaluate the performance of branch offices on the basis of a reduced set of influential targets. The analysis is based on target and achievement data for nearly all of the bank's 600 branch offices for the first semester 1995. En este documento se examinan los resultados de la selección de objetivos usada por la Caja de Ahorros del Mediterráneo, para evaluar los resultados operativos de sus sucursales. Se empieza por evaluar la capacidad de las sucursales para cumplir los objetivos establecidos por la dirección del banco. A continuación se examinan los objetivos en sí llegando a la conclusión que la lista de objetivos se puede reducir sustancialmente sin que por ello se produzca una pérdida significativa o una distorsión de la información a la dirección. Se evalúan de nuevo los resultados de las sucursales en base a una selección reducida de los objetivos más influyentes. Este análisis se basa en los datos sobre los objetivos y logros de casi todas las 600 sucursales de la Caja durante el primer semestre de 1995.
