Arrange the following sentences in the correct order. A. This creates a risk that seemingly objective indicators may reward organisations for changing what they report rather than improving what they do. B. Performance targets are intended to encourage institutions to deliver services more efficiently. C. When rewards depend heavily on a narrow numerical measure, however, institutions may adjust their procedures to improve that measure. D. Such adjustments may leave the underlying quality of the service unchanged or even make it worse. Options:

(English): B introduces the purpose of performance targets. C explains how narrow measures can influence institutional behaviour. D identifies th…

Arrange the following sentences in the correct order. A. Such an approach recognises that efficiency depends on the relationship between resources used and outcomes achieved. B. Organisations frequently attempt to improve efficiency by reducing the resources devoted to routine operations. C. Yet reductions that undermine service quality may produce savings without genuine improvements in efficiency. D. Evaluating efficiency therefore requires considering both the cost of providing a service and the quality of its results. Options:

Arrange the following sentences in the correct order. A. Once firms begin responding to the measure itself, however, the relationship between the indicator and the original objective may weaken. B. A performance indicator is useful initially because it is correlated with an outcome that managers actually care about. C. Organisations should therefore periodically test whether the indicator still reflects the underlying objective. D. Employees may discover ways to improve the measured score without producing an equivalent improvement in real performance.

(English): B introduces why the indicator is useful. A then warns that its relationship with the real objective can weaken once people respond to…

Arrange the following sentences in the correct order. A. Consequently, the absence of complaints may indicate either satisfaction or difficulty in complaining. B.

Arrange the following sentences in the correct order. A. As the measure improves, organisations may increasingly optimise for the indicator rather than the underlying objective. B. Performance indicators are often introduced because complex goals are difficult to observe directly. C. Over time, however, people learn how the indicator is calculated and which actions raise it. D.

Arrange the following sentences in the correct order. A. Such behaviour can undermine the very purpose of the target. B.
