Abstract:

This research tests for correlation between corporate performance and use of financial measures, nonfinancial measures, and number of balanced scorecard categories used. Literature notes a preference for managing by nonfinancial measures because financial measures are lagging indicators, but little empirical evidence is available on the relationship between nonfinancial measures and financial performance, and few companies are found to realize the benefits of nonfinancial measurements. The balanced scorecard has been studied to find the impact of diversity of performance measures, and anecdota

Abstract:

This project presents a mechanism for instrumentation of secure VoIP calls. The experiments were run under different network conditions and security systems. VoIP services such as Google Talk, Express Talk and Skype were under test. The project allowed analysis of the voice quality of the VoIP services based on the Mean Opinion Score (MOS) values generated by Perceptual valuation of Speech Quality (PESQ). The quality of the audio streams produced were subjected to end-to-end delay, jitter, packet loss and extra processing in the networking hardware and end devices due to Internetworking Layer

The rationale for carrying out this research was to address the clear lack of knowledge surrounding the measurement of public hospital performance in Ireland. The objectives of this research were to develop a comprehensive model for measuring hospital performance and using this model to measure the performance of public acute hospitals in Ireland in 2007. Having assessed the advantages and disadvantages of various measurement models the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) model was chosen for this research.

Abstract:

This thesis explores the possibility of using digital technologies to improve and redefine the performance management process of employees within organisations. A review of the literature indicates that performance processes are not working; a key finding in the literature is the difficulty in collecting the right evidence in order to have the relevant conversation between manager and employee: that is, having access to enough data in order to run the performance measurement. A case study is used to explore two different perspectives: a technical one, looking for accuracy in the performance ap

Pressure on companies to show evidence of compliance with sustainable requirements is increasing. Performance measurement systems (PMSs) assist managers in making such choices that optimize sustainability within supply chain operations. At the same time, companies’ supply base is growing globally and incurring an increase in one of the most visible parts of a supply chain's environmental impact - transportation. The difficulty lies in obtaining standardized data of sustainable impact by transportation. Thereby, ability to show compliance by measuring and evaluating the sustainable performance

Increasing interest is being shown in performance measurement, in both the academic literature and by practitioners. When implementing innovative products, organisations are facing issues of how to measure and manage the performance of the products concerned and how to do so in a worthwhile way. Reviewing existing literature suggests that there has been limited research on the value of performance measurement and management processes and indeed little conceptual distinction has been made between performance measurement and performance management. A conceptual framework is developed, structured

In a real sense the predicted performance impact of internationalisation serves not only to inform strategic decision-making on the different aspects of the internationalisation process but als

Most research has focused on real-time clock synchronisation algorithms, which run as background processes to maintain synchronisation between the clocks of a collection of computers. Research has also been done into off-line clock synchronisation algorithms. These algorithms can be used where time-stamped event records have been recorded on a collection of computers. In evaluating the effectiveness of a clock synchronisation algorithm, it is important to determine the offsets of clocks from each other or from an external reference. The reaso
