Download or read book Building the High Performance Finance Function written by de Waal, André and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2022-02-11 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The finance function can be regarded as the spider in the organizational web, as it has relations with every part of the organization and is also represented on the executive board. Therefore, it is of utmost importance that this function takes the lead by quickly transforming itself into a high-performance finance function (HPFF), serving as a role model for other functions in the organization. Building the High-Performance Finance Function describes the development of the high-performance finance function (HPFF) framework and explores the experiences, lessons learned, and results achieved by finance functions that have transformed themselves into “HPFFs,” or high-performance finance functions, using the HPFF framework. Covering a range of topics such as excellence in finance and high-performance organizations, it is ideal for industry professionals, teachers, researchers, academicians, practitioners, and students.

Download or read book Benchmarking in Services written by and published by Emerald Group Publishing. This book was released on 2006 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Benchmarking is defined as "an improvement process in which a company measures its performance against that of best-in-class companies, determines how those companies achieved their performance levels, and uses the information to improve its own performance." (Bemowski, 1992, p. 20). Under the best of circumstances, benchmarking can be difficult, time-consuming, and costly. Service benchmarking is made more difficult than benchmarking in manufacturing because it appears that those things which are important to the customer may differ significantly from one service industry to another (Sower, et al., 2001). Because of the question about the universality of the definition of quality in the service industry and the impact on benchmarking activities, the editors obtained as broad a cross-section of papers for this special issue as possible. The industries represented by the nine papers in this issue cover a broad spectrum of service industries from sports to banking; from laboratory services to hospitality and tourism.
