In the frame of my studies at the Sorbonne Management School (Paris 1 Pantheon-Sorbonne University ), I am currently working on my first Master's Thesis which is about "Management control and Performance Measurement".
As an important part of it, I would like to know in detail what the main problems are while dealing with performance measurement in start-ups. Here are the questions that interest me:
1) How often do startups measure your company’s performance?
2) Do startups measure their performance with the help of predetermined (predesigned) systems/frameworks or do they use separate KPIs.
3) Do they work on improving the performance measurement process itself?
4) Which systems/frameworks/recommendations/KPIs do they use for measuring your start-up’s performance?
5) How important are the costs of performance measurement for start-ups?
6) How do they use the results of performance measurement? Are the results analyzed in a performance management system?
7) Which are the main problems of performance measurement for a start-up company?
Thanks in advance!
Dear Niyungenko Antoine, my goal is to understand startups' attitude towards performance measurement. I wrote 7 questions, their answers would be of a great support for me.
Thank you.
I suggest you to find a complet questionnaire in other publications.Seven questions are not enough to evaluate performance measurement.
Good luck.
Very wide and interesting subject. Since I'm working on the performance concept, dealing in particular with manufacturing companies, I have been aware of that the most important is to identify the Objectives of the considered system (the start-up), the decision-makers that are concerned with the Performance Measurement Systems and KPI to be defined.
What is important is to improve peformance not only to measure it, that is why it is more a process than a simple measurement.

You are right dear Lamia Berrah. Improving performance is the most important in any organization especially in these days of COVID'19 pandemic.This rises another topic related to the determinant of performance in startups.
Obviously, performance is something that is so simple and so complex at the same time that goes beyond short term results.
I do agree dear Lamia Berrah. But, present actions may determine future performance. It s a continous process which can be based on "PDCA" principle (Plan,do,check,act) as developed by Deming.
Start by setting a standard as benchmark.....then compare actual vs the benchmark
What could the benchmark be, a theoretical scorecard or a scorecard that is deduced from best practices analysis.
Regarding the short-term vison of performance and the long term vision of it, it is necessary for me to build and highlight the link between them. However, many situations are to be distinguished : one where the same objective is considered and decision-makers are looking for a better achievement of it; another where the objective is a long-term one, and it has to be broken-down throughout a temporal trajectory. We have also to consider the case of multicriteria objectives, short-term objectives being contributing to long-term objectives.
