Critical Success Factors of Corporate Performance Management (CPM)

2015

Abstract

While many studies put emphasis on the linkage between Business Intelligence (BI) and Corporate Performance Management (CPM), few analyze directly the critical success factors that characterize CPM. The aim of this study is twofold: First, the study investigates common practices regarding the factors that characterize CPM. Second, the study develops a reference process model for CPM which describes key processes for the design and implementation of BI and BIrelated capabilities. Following this, we conducted a theoretical analysis using the current literature available and an empirical analysis by means of a survey. The objectives of this theoretical and empirical analysis are to assess to what extent privately listed organizations in Germany are aware of the existence of CPM factors. Using the principal factor analysis method with Promax as oblique rotation, the results delivered a consistent number of factor items for CPM, which were grouped into six main factors.
