Performance management relates to an organization’s ability to implement a system to evaluate and advance employee performance. Achieving peak performance requires consistency, clear objectives, and constructive employee evaluation. According to Mithas, Ramasubbu, & Sambamurthy (2011), an organization must design the performance management system based on extensive research about the organization’s mission, and then properly communicate the purpose of the system to employees, stakeholders, and decision makers. After the performing the research, the information should be used to establish the appropriate performance management specialized for the organization. In addition, an effective performance management system should align performance measures with current strategic objectives and future goals. Organizations that establish effective performance management systems can receive recognition. Furthermore, some organizations spend valuable time and financial resources to create the appropriate system to increase organizational performance. One of the current methods used to evaluate exceptional organizational performance is the Malcolm Baldridge Awards (Fisher, 2010, p. 2). The Baldridge Awards allow organizations to highlight achievements made in performance achievements and organizational excellence. The Baldridge criteria measure an organization’s progress in customer satisfaction, financial advancement, human resources, and organizational effectiveness (Mithas, Ramasubbu, & Sambamurthy, 2011, p. 242). The use of the Baldridge criteria establishes new trends in organizational performance, and provides a prestigious award system to promote exceptional performance management.

The Mayo Clinic (Mayo) provides a compelling and instructive example of the critical role of performance measurement in managing performance behaviors. An analysis of the Mayo approach offers insightful understanding of effective performance management practices. Accordingly, this paper reviews the Mayo performance management system from four perspectives (a) leadership strategy, (b) performance measurements, (c) human resources management, and (d) the alignment of performance with strategy. The discussion concludes with an assessment of the alignment of the elements comprising the Mayo performance management system with recommendations for strengthening those alignments.

In to the article “The Innovation Value Chain”, Hansen and Birkinshaw discussed how the innovation challenges, in reality, are different from one company to another, and they indicated that “ there is no universal solution for organizations wanting to improve their ability to generate, develop, and disseminate new ideas.” In fact, I think this is the truth because organizations are different in the size, capacities, management systems, culture, and to what extend employees’ skills. Therefore, good solutions for one company’s challenges not necessary work for another one even if they are at the same level, and, sometimes in this same company, a successful solution that works for one situation might be wasteful or even harmful.

Performance management is a management tool used to value, monitor and measure a company’s strategies that ensure the efficiency and effectiveness of its product delivery. This management tool does not focus on the organisation and on its employees as well as stakeholders. It is a continuous process that entails that managers make sure that organisational and employee values are corresponding (Aguinis, 2005,p.1/2-1/5). Performance Management brings about the competencies in the employees, increases self-esteem by giving feedback to employees, there is a low number of lawsuits because it helps understand the company better (eThekwini Municipality, 2008,p.10-11). According to Pride, Hughes and Kapoor (2011, p.288) performance management creates motivation for employees; one theory of motivation is of Expectancy, which stipulates that employees satisfaction is driven by expectations of what an organisation will offer in return.
A good performance management system encourages management to take responsibility for making sure their employees meet the organization’s objectives and goals (Gary, 2004). Furthermore, according to Bowes (2009), there is good evidence that shows when good performance management systems are in place and implemented effectively, revenue, shareholder value, employee satisfaction and investor interest will all increase. Therefore, while, the Blame Library’s performance management system needs improvement in several areas it is in their best interest to continue to improve their performance management system by starting with their prerequisites. Once they have job analyses and developed job descriptions for all the jobs at the library, they will be in a good position to start working on the other characteristics of a good performance management system.

Individuals’ knowledge and effective management of their knowledge should lead to performance outcomes for organizations to realize value from these activities (Hult 2003). Along with how effectively and efficiently people perform their tasks, organizations are increasingly valuing innovativeness and creativity in their employees (Hult 2003). Their innovativeness and creativity are aspects that allow them to solve new problems and generate value and in turn help their team and organization to become innovative and effective in generating value for customers (Hult 2003; Janz & Prasarnphanich 2003; Sabherwal & Becerra-Fernandez 2003).
Open innovation opens the doors for a vast array of ideas and suggestions that can help an organization succeed in being innovative. This will allow the organization to hold a competitive advantage when compared to their competition. Organizations who understand the importance of managing technological innovation will have an easier time succeeding than those organizations who feel they are safe and put innovation on the back burner.

Organization is a group of people brought to gather to achieve specific goals. Goals can be achieved if team member are performing well. Performance is the results of activities given to the employees in an organization to be achieved within specific period of time. Evaluating the current performance of employees against past performances and organizational standards is known as Performance Appraisal (Dessler, 2005). Furthermore performance appraisal helps the company know how individual employees are performing and how to improve their performance thus improving the performance of the company (Grubb, 2007). A performance appraisal is propose in which the performance management system in an organizations set work goals, determine performance standards, provide performance feedback, determine training and development needs and distribute rewards as well as evaluating an employee’s job performance during a period of time. The performance of team member is much more than appraising individuals’ works, it is managing the business, so the performance of an employee is influences by the performance of an organization. It is target to achieve the best results for the planned strategic by managing activities of employees. There are many different opinions on the performance appraisals, some organizations do performance appraisals without any aim just follow others., where some organizations do performance appraisals to make sure they have a record of a piece of paper in the employee’s file – they are careless about do corrective action. But successful organizations understand the importance of combining performance appraisals into their performance management process and strategy plan as the success of any organizatio...
There are several reasons organizations initiate performance evaluations, however the standard purpose for performance evaluations is to discuss performance expectations; not only from the employers perspective but to engage in a formal collaboration where the employee and the manager are both able to provide feedback in a formal discourse. There are many different processes an organization should follow when developing its performance evaluation tool; in addition essential characteristics that must accompany an effective performance appraisal process. I will discuss in detail the intent of a performance evaluation, the process an organization should follow in using its performance evaluation tool, along with the characteristics of an effective
