Chapter 11:

Other Remedies to the Myopia Problem
Kenneth A. Merchant and Wim A. Van der Stede, Management Control Systems, 2nd Edition Pearson Education Limited 2007
Slide 11.4
We seek
a measure,
or a combination of measures,
that leads managers and employees to take
the right actions or make the right decisions
in order to create long-term value.

Slide 11.5
But
Financial measures of performance often are not, by
themselves, sufficient to motivate optimal management
decisions.
Worse, financial measures often create pressures for
short-term performance potentially at the expense of
long-term value creation.

Bottom-line measures
Are like a compass leading managers in the
desired direction.
Allow managers greater autonomy
The managers can decide what intermediate measures
to focus on to achieve the desired financial result.
The managers can achieve the desired financial result
by putting different combinations of inputs and outputs
together.

Slide 11.21
Baskets of measures
Are like a roadmap that provides guidance to
managers as to how to achieve the desired end.
If done well, can provide a linked cascading of
measures from the top of the organization to the
bottom. They show everybody how their efforts
contribute to the overall goal.
Can be restrictive (managers have less autonomy
in making the tradeoffs).
Propensity to become obsolete as conditions
change.
