Performance measurement in U.S. counties : capacity for reform - Malden, MA : Blackwell Publishers, sep./oct.2000
This study examines the capacity of U.S. counties to undertake performance measurement. Based on a national survey of counties with populations over 50,000, the authors address the following questions: to what extent do counties implement performance measurement? Which capacities must be present for different levels of implementation and success? What can counties do to increase their capacity for performance measurement ? And, what is the effect of county structure and functions on the use of performance measurement ? This study finds that the success fo performance measurement is greatly affected by counties' underlying organizational capacities
