HOW TO CREATE BUSINESS PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT (BPM) SYSTEM by B. Ye. Odintsov, A. N. Romanov

“…However, in practice, the creation of new systems faces several problems; the most important of them can be summarized as follows: search and calculation of the index which measures the manageable efficiency; transformation of network structures that reflect target causal relationships into hierarchical ones; providing soft replacement of resources in the process of performance management; the need to use multiple-argument functions in calculations designed to find the target requirements; the need to solve problems on limitations of dynamics and ways to achieve goals.The theory of back calculations providing transformation of strategic management requirements into the control requirements (target budget or target indicators) may be used as a platform to solve the above mentioned problems. …”
