the following exercise and provide a
recommendation for each of the four scenarios
presented. There is often more than one way to
improve a performance measure. Unfortunately,
some of the actions taken by managers to make

revenues however, it does not always lead to
greater total profits. Those who design
performance measurement systems need to keep in
mind that managers who are under pressure to
