Performance Management System: A Holistic Approach

by B.D. Singh

Performance has been the focal point of an achiever, but in this age of global competitiveness, it has become more critical for the corporates to remain ahead in the race. This has compelled them to review and revive their age-old strategies and develop less travelled searching ways and means to enhance their performance. The search is still on. "Performance management system" is a sequel to that quest. It is an integrated, holistic and total management system directed towards endless excellence in performance - giving emphasis on processes and resources on their merit. Human Resource, which remained neglected in the traditional scheme of management system, received its due share in "Performance Management System", because of its inherent, infinite potential for augmenting performance. It was realized that all other resources have limitations and are easily available, accessible and imitable to the competitors. It is HR which, if made committed, can make the difference and give corporates a distinctive and competitive edge over others. This book contains some latest managerial concepts and practices which are relevant and used in the PMS. It contains some formats used by leading corporates and some live cases on the relevant issues. On the whole, the book would prove to be a very useful tool for the management students and practicing managers.
