Aligning, measuring, and rewarding performance in complex organizations

The management control and performance measurement literature reflects a long history of discussion related to organizational, team, and individual rewards.

Reflecting work on three current research studies, this chapter examines the gaps in our current understanding of the relationship of performance measurement, rewards, and performance and suggests some research questions that are of significant interest.
