To participate fully in the new world of e-business, organisations have to make significant financial investments. How then, should they evaluate e-business investment proposals and monitor the resulting performance of their on-line business operations? To what extent are traditional performance measurement systems fit for a world where clicks not bricks determine business success? This CIMA report describes research investigating how organisations have been adapting their performance measurement systems for e-business. The research aimed to identify the features and benefits of an effective e-business performance measurement system by studying twelve organisations that have had some success in developing performance measurement systems suitable for the on-line environment.
* Based on four years of case study research inlcuding interviews with 12 managers
* offers a distinctive view of e-business in measuring the performance of a business
* Recommendations are made based on the findings from cross case analysis
Zielgruppe
* Managers interested in performance measurement systems.
* Managers in companies having difficulties in measuring their e-business performance.
* Managers interested in case studies.

Conclusions and Recommendations
- the research showed that companies have not invested as much as expected into the area of e-business performance measurement system. What has been developed appears to be on an ad hoc basis resulting in the conclusions that:
- organisations do not currently feel the need to make major changes to their performance measurement system for e-business; and
- best practice advice in performance measurement may be less influential than that reported as typical.
- Five recommendations are made.
