Abstract: | This study aims at exploring whether an organization's strategic priorities (henceforth as: str-prts.) are associated with the use and effectiveness of specific performance measures (hereafter as: p-msrs). Based on the results of a survey of Dutch companies, it is found that specific str-prts. (e.g. the importance of market/customer orientation etc.) tend to be linked with the use of non-financial p-msrs. Moreover, institutional factors seem to affect the use of specific p-msrs. However, there is found no support for the claim that aligning the p-msrs. system to the firm's str-prts. would have a positive effect on performance. |
