Abstract


Quiet astonishing when the adopted performance management systems (PMS) in business schools are varies from one to another. Due to whatever the applied standard in business school’s performance is, the real prober for the alumni is still the same, which is user or industry. Moreover, frequently in building and managing processes of PMS be based more to internal needs, so that the initiator are only person who have much concern, instead of the result from partnership and empowerment of entire staffs. Subsequently, the lack of basic information, i.e. organizational, financial & market, and product information decrease the effectiveness role of PMS in improving business school’s global competitiveness. The objective of the study is to discover the foundation and basic information for designing business school’s PMS as a starting point toward incremental innovation. The study conducts through a series of descriptive study to top five Indonesia’s business schools. The research stages start from literature surveys of published article in academic journals related with the foundation and basic information that have been done in the last five years. Followed by descriptive study through observation, interviews, document reviews, and filling out the questionnaire by the dean or vice dean of academic as well as the quality assurance administrator. The study brings about ten foundations and twenty seven criteria of basic information, which consist of: thirteen organizational environment information, seven financial and market information, as well as seven product information The important findings are most of the business school’s PMS is not complete yet and standard operating procedure for each activity is not obvious enough and often be found miscommunication to interpret or implement such standard. By implementing such finding from this research, it will be useful as a basis for top management in formulating the business school’s PMS for the foreseeable future.
