The main objective of developing Science Technology Parks (STP) is to foster knowledge-based economic clusters in an area. Knowledge-based economic clusters play an important role in encouraging regional innovation and competitiveness to increase the contribution of science and technology in economic development. Due to the important role of the clusters in economic development, it is necessary to seriously manage their performance. The purpose of this paper is to study the Performance Management Practices and Key Performance Indicators implemented in Bandung Techno Park (BTP) as one of the leading Techno parks in Indonesia through the literature review method. This research revealed that there are a number of standard or similar KPIs widely used in many STPs, such as the number of startups created, economic development produced, the number of innovative products made. The study also proposed two additional performance indicators for BTP to complete its goals, which are: economy generated in the area and profitability of STP. The contribution of this research is to provide BTP with a reference for evaluating organizational performance through the use of standard KPIs. Future research can use standardized KPIs that have been validated with a quantitative approach to investigate and evaluate organizational performance. Keywords— Performance management; Key Performance Indicators; Science and Technology Parks

Vietnam has three national science and technology parks (STP) and several local and specialized ones. In fact, the activities of STPs show that they have made great contributions to technology transfer and regional economic development. Building an STP is a trend and even a difficult alternative to the needs and policies of knowledge-based economic development, but they are not well-known. This paper, therefore, identifies and recommends some policy implications for the establishment and improvement of the STPs in Vietnam. This paper focuses on some key issues such as the existing models of STPs, their successful factors as well as effective approaches of STPs’ ownership and management.

The article is devoted to assessing the effect of the implementation of information technologies in non-profit organizations. The purpose of the assessment is to evaluate the effect of IT implementation and its impact on key performance indicators of an organization. The indicators characterizing the results of the organization’s activities in accordance with the State Assignment and the results of commercial activities were used as the key performance indicators. For federal state budget NPOs, it has been shown that a positive IT effect for auxiliary business processes does not directly ensure positive performance indicators for the core business processes. Hidden effects of the use of IT were assessed by changes of the indicators of the core business processes. Performance indicators characterizing the results of commercial activities may demonstrate a negative effect. Understanding the specifics of non-profit organizations, as well as metrics and performance parameters characterizing the effectiveness of such organizations, is important to ensure a correct approach to the digitalization of business processes and their performance management.

It is paradoxical that, although several major technological discoveries such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Nuclear Medicine and Digital Radiology, which facilitate improvement in patient care, have been satisfactorily embraced by the medical community, this has not been the case with Healthcare Informatics. Thus, it can be argued that issues such as Data Management, Data Modeling, and Knowledge Management have a long way to go before reaching the maturity level that other technologies have achieved in the medical sector. This chapter proposes to explore trends and best practices regarding knowledge management from the viewpoint of performance management, based upon the use of Key Performance Indicators in healthcare systems. By assessing both balanced scorecards and quality assurance techniques in healthcare, it is possible to foresee an electronic healthcare record centered approach which drives information flow at all levels of the day-to-day process of delivering effective and managed care, and which finally moves towards information assessment and knowledge discovery.

The implementation of key performance indicators (KPIs) is a challenging task for many businesses. Yet, effective implementation of KPIs is among the major determinants of performance and success of an organization. This study explored the new strategic thinking in mitigating the challenges in implementing key performance indicators (KPIs) and increasing efficiency in corporate performance management in the Middle East & North Africa (MENA) region. The study sought to test three hypotheses: (i) there is a significant relationship between having enough training and awareness sessions before implementation and effective implementation of KPIs; (ii) there is a significant relationship between having KPI professionals and specialists and effective implementation of KPIs; and (iii) there is a significant relationship between having clear KPI goals and objectives, on one hand, and the effective implementation of KPIs on the other. Hypotheses 2 and 3 were proved to be true while results for hypothesis 1 were inconclusive. A total of 1007 participants from across the MENA region were involved in the study. The findings demonstrate the importance of having clear KPI goals and objectives and KPI professionals or specialists to oversee the KPI selection and implementation process. Further research should be conducted to establish whether there is a significant relationship between having enough training and awareness sessions before implementation and effective implementation of KPIs.
