Measuring Executive Productivity: A Nice Idea, But Can It Be Done?
Article Abstract:
The Administrative Management Society conducted research among a cross-section of North American businesses and queried as to what was the greatest concern of workers about office automation. The most critical issue seemed to be 'maintaining a human perspective.' Employees, managers, and expert-consultants all expressed somewhat different viewpoints on this same issue. Experts thought measurement of managerial work was important, but measuring the elusive quality of thinking can only be approximated.
