Measuring and Improving Productivity in Services
Author: Faridah Djellal
Publisher: Edward Elgar Publishing
ISBN: 1848444966
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 261
Book Description
The question of how to measure and improve productivity in services has been a recurrent topic in political debates and in academic studies for several decades. The concept of productivity, which was developed initially for industrial and agricultural economies poses few difficulties when applied to standardized products. The advent of the service economy contributed to call into question, if not the relevance of this concept, at least its definition and measurement methods. This book takes stock of the issues met by productivity in services on theoretical, methodological and operational levels. The authors examine various definitions of productivity and the main methods of its measurement. A survey of recent conceptual and methodological debates on the notion of productivity is also presented. A more operational and strategic perspective is then adopted in order to identify and analyze the main levers, factors and determinants for improving productivity and, more generally, the actual strategies adopted for this purpose in firms and organisations. Providing a deep understanding of the specific and underestimated performance processes within service industries, this book will be of great interest to those involved in industrial economics, management science and public administration.

Public-Sector Productivity (Part 1)
Author: Ravi Somani
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages :
Book Description
This note is the first of a two-part series that explores the importance of public-sector productivity and its measurement (part one); and its determinants (part two). This note summarizes a review of the literature on different approaches to measuring public-sector productivity (the rate at which inputs are converted into outputs). This note recommends: complementing traditional `macro' measures of public-sector productivity, such as the cost-weighted-output approach presented in Atkinson (2005), with fine-grained `micro' measures at the individual organization, employee, and task and process level; monitoring and reporting output (performance) measures and inputs (costs) separately; and combining multiple measures of productivity, tied closely to the service-delivery chain.
