{"product_id":"monitoring-business-performance","title":"Monitoring Business Performance","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe idea of using models to inform business practice seems appealing, as it suggests the abstraction and control of a large, complex subject by means of a smaller, easily manipulated mechanism. In reality, however, many models prove inadequate when translated into business methods. \u003ci\u003eMonitoring Business Performance – Models, Methods and Tools\u003c\/i\u003e elucidates how the assumptions and perceptions that guide performance assessment are often based on models that are poor interpretations and descriptions of reality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this book, the author scrutinizes the models underlying a number of well-known business methods and tools, and sheds light on the assumptions and subjective perceptions that undermine their effectiveness. In doing so, he offers a unique criticism of accepting business models without questioning their relevance and applicability, and highlights the need to treat models as hypotheses, rather than as certainties.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54234574586200,"sku":"9780415836708","price":198.4,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780415836708.jpg?v=1769007627","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/monitoring-business-performance","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
