Zastosowanie wielowymiarowej analizy porównawczej do pomiaru dokonań jednostek gospodarczych

Abstract

The paper addresses the use of multidimensional comparative analysis methods for measuring the performance of companies. Company performance is a complex economic category comprising a broad set of widely dissimilar values, which adds to the complexity of performance measurement tasks, particularly those produced for the purpose of comprehensive performance evaluations, since the traditional performance measurement instruments relate to specific feats and clearly lack a synthetic perspective. One of the ways to eliminate this shortcoming is the use of multidimensional comparative analysis. This type of analytical evaluation offers methods that can be used in the design of synthetic measures based on sets of partial metrics. It is worth noting that the partial metrics employed may be expressed in dissimilar units of measurement, as the multidimensional comparative analysis methods are designed to address exactly this type of problems in the measurement of complex phenomena such as company performance.(original abstract)
