The fourth article of the series on the need to build a multidimensional structure of business performance to achieve the best possible results when conducting performance measurement. Business performance is a complex multidimensional variable which makes its measurement a difficult task (Brush and Vanderwerf, 1992). Venkatraman and Ramanujam (1985) suggest that such measures show sales growth, earnings growth and return on investment for different dimensions. To overcome this problem researchers use various measures to achieve more precise estimate of differences between the key dimensions of company performance (Zahra, 1996). Subsequent studies supported these arguments, the brush and Vanderwerf (1992) and Tsai, MacMillan and Low (1991) discussed the need for the use of profitability and growth dimensions – the two dimensions can be defined as the financial performance – because it is possible that these two dimensions of voting in opposite directions, this means that even if one considers the measure of financial performance is an approach based on dimensional measurement may be insufficient and cause positive results. What Venkatraman and Ramanujam (1986), such arguments reinforced the idea that measuring performance is not adequate and operational performance measurement is an important ingredient for measuring enterprise performance further. Two empirical studies demonstrate the need for a multidimensional approach to measurement. Woo and Willard (1983), statistical analysis shows that the flow of fourteen financial and operational measures in four dimensions – profitability, cash /, the market position in relation to changes in the profitability of the Group cash flow / and income growth.

It is not so much what is taught, or how much employees have learned, or how much training days have been spent over the last six months.

Employees who are focused on completing a particular course and the assumption is that what the Company considers most important focus of what is to lose vital to the health of the organization. The identification of training costs on the financial results of the training is to determine fairly easy if you know what are the objectives.
