Jaico Publishing House, 2008. Softcover. New. What works for the multi-nationals with all their resources, money, and structures certainly will not work for typical small and medium-sized companies, at least not without being adapted for their needs and resources. This book presents the proven results of such an adaptation process, where small and medium-sized companies have used a combination of benchmarking and world class techniques to improve their businesses’ profitability, their capabilities and their performance. Enterprise Ireland’s experience with benchmarking and best practice, working with Irish companies, shows that this approach works and leads to improved competitiveness. Case studies are presented throughout this book, outlining the results achieved by Irish companies using the tools. The challenge is for more businesses to adopt these tools and to make their own improvements in their operations. Printed Pages: 254., Jaico Publishing House, 2008, Jaico Publishing House, 2008.

Very Good. 1990 Later Printing Hardcover, Tight, Clean and bright Copy, no names, no stamps, no labels, very light reading wear, clean and unmarked text and tables...Written by Dr. Robert Camp, universally regarded as the founding father of the benchmark process, this bestseller is quite simply the definitive reference on the topic. Camp guides readers through the historic ten-step benchmarking process that he developed while at Xerox. This process is credited with reviving that company when it was floundering in 1979. Camp presents other examples of the process, including its dramatic application to L.L. Bean. He uses these examples to show managers how to relate benchmarking to their own circumstances and then provides them with expert strategy and tips so that they can efficiently and easily launch their own quest for best performance. 320 pages.., Butterworth-Heinemann, 2009-06-10.
