Benchmarking in organizations

1. Write a 3-4 page paper discussing an organization you are familiar with (or part of the organization), which type of benchmarking would be the best to use, and some key metrics that might be used for comparisons, including defenses of those choices. 2. To achieve maximum points for content and analysis, the following elements should be thoroughly addressed: a. Discuss an area (or department) of an organization that you are familiar with that could potentially benefit from benchmarking and explain why it could potentially benefit. b. Explain which type of benchmarking (competitive or internal) would be most beneficial and why. c. Identify some (at least 3) measurements that might be used for comparative purposes and explain why these might be beneficial. Make sure this response supports your decision to use competitive or internal benchmarking. 4. Provide at least three academic resources.
