Managing For Results: A Strategic Term Paper

Given the fact that the entire organizational structure relies on performance, one needs to ensure that (1) performance levels are reasonably defined and (2) that these performance levels are known to all employees within the organization. In this sense, an organization that will be implementing the respective framework needs to make sure that the performance levels are reasonably defined.
