KnowledgeBlast: How Culture Influences Performance Management
Brandon Hall Group’s 2016 research reveals some dramatic differences in performance management approaches and results between organizations with collaborative cultures and other culture types. For example, companies with controlling cultures are four times as likely to say their performance management is ineffective, and organizations with collaborative cultures are most likely to consistently recognize employee contributions.

Students are presented with situations (such as turning around a poor performing store, or managing a team), and in turn, they have to discuss and debate, make critical decisions and see the impact of their choices on key business metrics. Each student is challenged to think about how to apply the material they are learning in the classroom to realistic work situations that they will encounter in their day-to-day jobs.
