Abstract

The book is not an unrestricted survey engaging a vast and repetative literature, but a systematic treatise within clear boundaries, largely a document of Afriat's own work. The original motive of the work is to elaborate a concept of what really is a price index, which, despite some kind of price-level notion having a presence throughout economics, in theory and practice, had been missing.

Abstract

"A bold agenda for a better way to assess societal well-being, by three of the world's leading economists and statisticians"-- In 2009, a group of economists led by Nobel laureate Joseph E. Stiglitz, French economist Jean-Paul Fitoussi, and Nobel laureate Amartya Sen issued a report challenging gross domestic product (GDP) as a measure of progress and well-being. Published as Mismeasuring Our Lives by The New Press, the book sparked a global conversation about GDP and a major movement among scholars, policy makers, and activists to change the way we measure our economies. Now, in Measuring What Counts, Stiglitz, Fitoussi, and Martine Durand -;summarizing the deliberations of a panel of experts on the measurement of economic performance and social progress hosted at the OECD, the international organization incorporating the most economically advanced countries-propose a new,"beyond GDP" ; agenda. This book provides an accessible overview of the last decade&;s global movement, sparked by the original critique of GDP, and proposes a new &;dashboard&; of metrics to assess a society&;s health, including measures of inequality and economic vulnerability, whether growth is environmentally sustainable, and how people feel about their lives. Essential reading for our time, it also serves as a guide for policy makers and others on how to use these new tools to fundamentally change the way we measure our lives&;and to plot a radically new path forward.

Abstract

This book describes - in a precise but practical way - the most recent developments in Performance Measurement and the relative Performance Measurement Systems (PMS), whose most famous one is the Balanced Scorecard model. It is unique because of the integration of PMS theory (types of performances, Key Performance Indicators, architecture and integration with ERP, Organization and Strategy) with the Business Intelligence (BI) technologies, which characterize the most advanced effective solutions. The rigorous academic approach of a well-known international expert - Professor Tonchia - is mixed with the managerial contribution of a worldwide consulting leader - Luca Quagini, CEO of SDG Group. There are very few, if any, books in the Performance Management field that describe in detail a real approach for designing and managing these systems, with the amount of detail and giving the useful, practical understanding of the underlying principles and specific processes and practices that are presented here.
