`The collection of papers contained within the book has a number of strengthsMany of the articles are very good and provide very detailed discussions of a number of important issues of performance measurement. In addition, the mix of theoretical and practical issues of performance measurement is one of the particular strengths of the book that reflects the original intention of the authors to produce a book containing articles with "a mix of description, prescription and reflection".... this is a good book that can be recommended to a variety of readers who want to gain a broad perspective of performance measurement. In addition, each of the articles contains a rich supply of references, which are likely to provide a useful source of additional research information should any reader wish to delve deeper into a particular performance measurement issue′ - Journal of the Operational Research Society
