“…This research domain is called organizational evaluation capacity, or EC, and has gained considerable attention in the last decade (Cousins, Goh, Elliott, & Bourgeois, 2014). EC has been linked to organizational learning and improvement, and is thought to be essential to sustainable evaluation utilization (Alkin & Taut, 2002;Torres & Preskill, 1999;Preskill & Boyle, 2008). The concept of EC, therefore, constitutes an important element of our study's theoretical base.…”

The Brazilian program of higher education evaluation, broadly known as the National Exam of Students' Performance (ENADE), represents a governmental effort to gather information on undergraduate educational quality. As a product of that evaluation, reports are made available to each program evaluated. Our present research addresses the impact of ENADE evaluation report utilization on multiple higher education accounting programs' performance in their subsequent evaluation. Based upon theoretical support from literature about evaluation use, a web-based survey was developed and provided across the country to the coordinators of accounting programs. From a response rate of 62% of the study target population and using multiple regressions, we found that there was a positive correlation between usage of the ENADE evaluation report and the performance of undergraduate accounting programs in their subsequent evaluation. Based upon the reviewed literature and, in accordance with these research results, it is possible to infer that the use of evaluation reports derived from the higher education evaluation system promoted by the Brazilian government can influence the decisions of educational institutions and promote improvement.

Professor, Aalborg Universitet, mbh@dps.aau.dk I 2005 blev Nav-reformen, en af de største forvaltningsreformer i Norge i nyere tid, vedtaget af det norske Storting. Det blev samtidig besluttet, at der parallelt med reformen skulle gennemføres en evaluering. Den havde flere målsaetninger bl.a. at understøtte og korrigere implementeringen af Navreformen. Artiklen forholder sig kritisk til den udbredte ambition om, at evalueringer kan anvendes i praktiske handlesituationer og indkredser de saerlige udfordringer, der kan vaere forbundet med instrumentel evalueringsanvendelse i forbindelse med større forvaltningsreformer. Der tages afsaet i en teoretisk analyseramme, der både inddrager indsigter fra evaluerings -og policy-laeringslitteraturen.
