Purpose – In recent decades, a framework for management performance has proven to be an important management practice for achieving organisational performance excellence. In this sense, the purpose of this paper is to analyse how a specific company manages to achieve performance excellence through the attainment of the Brazilian National Quality Award. Design/methodology/approach – The study adopts a case-based approach using a single unit of analysis that might be considered a revealing case. The company studied is one of the largest companies in the information and financial analysis sector in Latin America and is part of a major worldwide corporation. Semi-structured interviews with senior managers and document analysis were used for data collection, with content and inductive analysis performed a posteriori. Findings – The main results outline the approach adopted by the company for each performance excellence award criterion and highlight some of the relevant organisational practices, especially those related to the nature of the company’s businesses. The findings show that the top management has been an essential driving force in transforming the managers at all levels into agents of improvement at the studied company. Additional key points are the deployment of the company’s “shared values” throughout the company and the implementation of a medium- and long-term comprehensive strategic plan focused on the award criteria. The company’s strategic system has been a driving force of its success. Research limitations/implications – For a more extensive empirical validation, further replications using other samples are needed to ensure the external validity of these findings. Originality/value – This paper is one of the few published studies discussing business excellence in emerging economies, which is not observed very often in developing markets. In addition, the paper focuses on promoting a culture of quality, a less common phenomenon in the economies of developing countries than in those of developed nations. Finally, this paper may be useful for practitioners and academics interested in the subject of quality and performance excellence.

Dewasa ini, kebanyakan organisasi bersaing demi kelangsungannya. Oleh yang demikian, pelbagai sistem pengurusan prestasi yang sesuai diambil untuk diaplikasikan ke dalam organisasi. Terdapat banyak model kecemerlangan prestasi yang hanya tertumpu kepada pengukuran yang melibatkan aspek lahiriah sahaja seperti Malcolm Baldridge National Quality Award (MBNQA), European Quality Award (EQA), Deming Prize dan Model Kanji. Walau bagaimanapun, pengukuran aspek bukan lahiriah atau intangibles juga penting dan perlu diberi perhatian dalam meningkatkan prestasi organisasi. Kertas kerja ini membincangkan nilai–nilai teras dalam VBTPEM dan mengenal pasti nilai–nilai teras sedia ada di universiti–universiti di Malaysia. Model ini memberikan output kedudukan keseluruhan dan pencapaian universiti berdasarkan nilai teras yang diukur dan mengenal pasti proses penambahbaikan yang perlu dilakukan berdasarkan petunjuk nilai teras. Kata kunci: Sistem pengurusan prestasi; Model Pengukuran Prestasi Berasaskan Nilai Teras (VBTPEM) Today, organizations are competing for the survival. They adopt various performance management systems that best suit their undertakings. There are many performance models which lean towards measuring tangible aspects such as Malcolm Baldridge National Quality Award (MBNQA), European Quality Award (EQA), Deming Prize and Kanji’s Model. However, the measurements of intangible aspects are also important and should be heeded to optimize the organizational performance. This paper discusses the preliminary implementation of the Performance Measurement System (PMS) which showcases an overview of intangible aspects i.e. organizational core values through Value–Based Total Performance Excellence Model (VBTPEM) and identification of existing core values in Malaysian universities. This model will reveal overall standings and achievements of the public universities and indicate opportunities for further improvements based on the value–based indicators. Key words: Performance management system; Value–Based Total Performance Excellence Model (VBTPEM)
