The purpose of this book is to examine how target setting impacts on other parts of the performance management system, performance targets for a range of measures (e.g., financial, non-financial), motivation and how difficult targets should be, the implications of strategy and managing change, and implications for incentive systems, and discusses recent ideas on how to improve performance targets.
