Teaching and learning methods
Measuring and managing performance are important for the public sector. Policy makers, managers and professionals in the public sector require knowledge and skills in the design, implementation, use and assessment of performance management systems. Such knowledge and skills are important for the managers' responsibility for selecting, adapting, using, and maintaining performance management systems, either by making these mandatory by regulation or voluntary by self-regulation. Managers also need knowledge on how to integrate performance management in the overall management control systems and complement these systems with other management tools and processes, such as strategic planning, budgeting, risk management, and performance audit and evaluation. This course draws on research and cases from both the international and national contexts.
