Throughout the 1980s, the British Civil Service devoted much time and energy to develop indicators to measure the performance of government. Never before had so much stress been placed on accountability and performance, a trend which will be reinforced as government continues to devolve activities to agencies and looks for methods to assess their performance. "How Organizations Measure Success" analyzes existing methods from their origins in the 1960s to their revival in the 1980s as part of the Financial Management Initiative. The authors examine the natural history of performance indicators across a variety of government departments and public agencies as well as private businesses. The case studies include the National Health Service, the Department of Social Security, the police and the courts, as well as a chain of supermarkets and a clearing bank. The findings illuminate problems of both design and implementation and highlight other issues including the implications of performance indicators for democratic accountability.
