performance measurement news article

Please find a new article that relates to the lessons topic. I have attached the lesson overview and all reading materials needed to give you an idea of what the lesson is about. The following instructions will explain what need for the assignment is.

In this course, you will be required to stay up-to-date on current and relevant news stories that are related to performance measurement and management by reading major newspapers, including but not limited to The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal. Keeping up-to-date on news stories related to performance measurement and management is important for the purpose of connecting the topics covered in class to what is going on outside the “classroom.” It is also important for the purpose of making you aware of the current issues and problems faced in performance measurement and management.

For the article that you select, the commentary needs to include the following information:
• the reference of the article (if it can be accessed via the web, please provide the URL);
• a summary of the major issues/topics discussed in the article (approximately 150 words in length);
• a discussion of your view/opinion of the issue (approximately 150 words in length); and
• a discussion about how the article relates to performance measurement and management (approximately 150 words in length).
In formulating your summary of the issue, please describe the topic/issue, its current significance, and any suggested solutions for resolving the issue that might be outlined in the article. When preparing your view/opinion of the issue, please provide support for any arguments that you make. Finally, in your discussion about how the article relates to fiscal decision making, please reference one or more of the topics discussed in class. The article commentaries will be graded toward the end of the semester.
