Subject area The focus is on a performance management system and its strategic alignment using a Balanced scorecard in a Public Private Partnership framework. This case study analyses the situation for Tata Power Delhi Distribution (TPDD) which needs to realign its strategy to meet the emerging sustainability challenges of inclusive growth and combating the climate change. The case covers the field of strategic management, strategy formulation and performance management system deployment using the balanced scorecard. It touches upon the emerging need for corporates to look beyond economic signals and take social and environmental impacts into strategy planning process. Study level/applicability The case can be used in the following courses; post graduate program in public administration; MBA/Post graduate program in management in strategic management; executive training program for Government executives in public sector organizations to highlight the concept of performance management system in PPP companies. Case overview After the initial tumultuous years, TPDD emerged as one of the efficient power distribution companies in Delhi region. One of the major management tools that was helpful to achieve this was the balanced scorecard. TPDD's general manager for corporate strategy & planning reviewed the process and the due diligence that went into designing and implementing the balanced scorecard. Now, after the balanced scorecard success story, he along with Dr Ganesh Das, Head of Group – Strategy wants to take it to a next level and integrate their strategies related to inclusive growth of community and combating the ill effects of climate change. They believe that the balanced scorecard method that had helped them to achieve their strategic goals will help them to achieve future objectives too. But whether the existing four perspectives: financial, customer, internal process and learning and growth would adequately address the emerging challenges or whether there was a need to introduce a new perspective – “The Social Perspective” – is what they contemplate in the case. Expected learning outcomes The case can be used to teach the following: the importance of strategy in an organization and how it helps the firms to realize their stated vision; to highlight the process of strategy formulation and its deployment; to help students realize the difficulties in realizing a strategic goal through performance management system; use the balanced scorecard as an effective tool for strategy deployment and organizational alignment; to introduce students the concept of sustainability in the organization and emerging global challenges; and to illustrate the complexities involved in a strategic planning process Supplementary materials Teaching notes.

In the current era of new economy, the competition between enterprises is becoming increasingly fierce. In many performance evaluation tools, EVA’s balance sheet scorecard has gradually become a more convenient management tool for organizations to implement strategies. The introduction of a balanced scorecard (if used properly) in the company’s performance evaluation will greatly improve the management efficiency of the organization and play a better role in promoting the enterprise to achieve the best resource allocation. This article aims to analyze the status quo of the EVA balanced scorecard in the performance appraisal system and its implementation in the enterprise through an overview of the relevant concepts and basic theories such as the balanced scorecard, combined with the theory of enterprise performance evaluation, such as the balanced scorecard. And strategic performance evaluation theory and other related theories established a series of effective management methods that match the EVA balanced scorecard. Use performance management system model calculation and performance evaluation system design to study the role of EVA-based balanced scorecard in building the performance evaluation system. Exploring the EVA balanced scorecard through experimental research can not only really improve the shortcomings and problems of the single performance appraisal system used by enterprises but also make it more in line with the company’s strategic development requirements and promote the realization of the strategy. The goal of the company: the experimental results of this paper show that 80% of the company’s operating conditions in the EVA-based balanced points performance evaluation have increased year by year and also confirmed that the EVA performance management system is a future-oriented performance management system.

The number of startups in Indonesia has surpassed 2,000 companies, but only a handful have survived and thrived in the VUCA world. One of the failure causes is the lack of good business management in translating the company’s vision and strategy into clear and measurable objectives. For a project-based renewable energy startup, as the current study’s focus, it is necessary to focus not only on generating revenue but also on achieving the company’s vision and mission to sustain. To address this, we formulated an integrated framework related to the Performance Management System of the renewable energy startup. We combined the Balanced Scorecard as a tool for communicating the company’s strategies, Key Performance Indicators as a corporate performance tracking tool, and Objectives and Key Results for a daily basis or short-term goal-setting tool. It is also complemented by the idea of Ethical Climate to embed ethics into the system. Finally, quantifiable company performance measures will be obtained to assist the startup in the decision-making process related to appropriate strategies for corporate sustainability.

PurposeAn effective performance management must track level of employee engagement, ensure employee feedback on all aspects and ensure that the people act on that information. Also, it must ensure accessibility of essential conditions to perform. Considering the challenges associated with existing performance management system, present study attempts to discover factual expectations from the employees. The paper also establishes required conditions for fulfilling such expectations.Design/methodology/approachPresent study attempts to discover factual expectations from the employees using the Balance Scorecard approach (BSC). Furthermore, using Quality Function Deployment (QFD), relation between employers' expectation and requirements necessary to fulfill such expectations has also been determined.FindingsThe suggested model has been developed as House Of Performance Management (HOPM) outlining potential leveraging points for enhancing the performance, based on which immediate actionable measures for effective and efficient performance management can also been advocated. The HOQ suggested in this paper can be source of reference while developing performance management system for an organization. Besides, it can help the Human Resource team to discover strategic opportunities and set targets.Originality/valueEffective goal setting, pooled with a method to track progress and identify obstacles, contribute to attainment of bottom to top line results. However, designing and implementing such performance management system has been associated with many challenges like lack of top management support, perception of the process as time-consuming, failure to communicate clear and specific goals and expectations, lack of consistency, etc. (Managing employee performance, 2019). Hence most organizations have been increasingly looking for effective ways of assessing employee performance that can promote stakeholders' satisfaction, employee engagement and continuous improvement.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explain how an organization’s performance measurement system can influence the appropriateness of an organization’s responses to threats. Design/methodology/approach – Inductive and deductive reasoning, drawing on major theories and on empirical findings in the management literature. Findings – An organization’s performance measurement system can influence the effectiveness of the organization’s detections of threats and the appropriateness of the organization’s responses to threats and, in these ways, contribute to the organization’s robustness and sustainability. Practical implications – Formation of an appropriate performance management system can prove critical to both detection of and responses to organizational threats. As such, an organizational performance management system can contribute to organizational robustness and sustainability. Originality/value – The idea, that an organization’s performance measurement system can influence the effectiveness of the organization’s detections of threats and the appropriateness of the organization’s responses to threats, is not articulated in the management literature. Thus, the research reported here is original and would seem to have value to the research community, the organization design community (as an organization’s control systems are an important component of its architecture), and the management community.

PurposeEffective performance management (PM) in public–private partnership (PPP) projects is critical to realizing value for money (VFM). This study aims to provide an in-depth understanding of problems existing in PPP PM and possible avenues for improvement, presenting an experimental system to verify that building information modeling (BIM) and other information communication technologies can improve PPP PM.Design/methodology/approachThe mixed research method adopted in this study combined empirical research with experimental research. Semistructured interviews were used to ascertain the current situation of PPP PM with the help of Nvivo software. A BIM-based performance management system (BPMS), which combines BIM with Web and Cloud technology, was then constructed to achieve performance monitoring, performance measurement, and performance-based payment. Finally, a case study was introduced to explain the function application of the proposed system.FindingsThe case demonstration verified is found to verify that the developed BIM-based execution framework for PPP PM can effectively guide stakeholders toward achieving mixed PM, promote effective PM, and improve work efficiency with the support of BIM and other information and communication technologies.Originality/valueThrough the development of a BPMS for PPP projects, the effectiveness and efficiency of PM are improved. Practical PM applications are also provided to different stakeholders, through which the key performance indicators and the behaviors of the government and private-sector partners can be monitored to form a more comprehensive and reasonable PM mechanism and promote the realization of VFM in PPP projects.
