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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Per Lind\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138617970\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138617971\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/08\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 226\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Per Lind","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48447850610943,"sku":"9781138617971","price":65.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e74e8e46-45e0-49b8-b1c4-22fbf7bf03f8.jpg?v=1777235229","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/monitoring-business-performance-per-lind-9781138617971","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
