A Comparison of Performance Indicators for Training and Enterprise Councils in the Uk

Abstract

ABSTRACP*: The use of performance indicators for the evaluation and comparison of efficiency in service provision in the public and related sectors of the economy i s continuously developing. While they often represent a step forward, to the extent that they focus attention on the objectives of the organization in question, it is frequently suspected that they fail to take into account non-controllable environmental factors. 5% do so requires multivariate techniques of analysis. This paper compares the results of three such methods with the raw performance indicators. It confirms the importance of nomcontrollable factors but also shows that different multivariate methodsgive results which do not always agree. Understanding the properties of different approaches is essential in drawing conclusions about performance.
