Performance, strategy and accounting in local government and higher education
The research investigates the management of performance measures and the perceived effectiveness of such measures in UK public services. A range of methodological approaches is used, commencing with a pilot study comprising four case studies in local government and higher education. It will investigate the relationship between strategic planning, accounting information systems and performance measurement systems within each case study. A comparison of these phenomena between cases and with prior research in the private and public sector research will also be undertaken. The pilot study will also include the initial development of a questionnaire, built upon the case studies to gain knowledge of performance measures across the whole of public services. The questionnaire survey will be develop a deeper understanding of the relationship between organisational variables and performance is achieved.
