University of Otago, New Zealand
Performance Measurement:
Theory and Practice
Welcome
The University of Otago’s School of Business is pleased and honoured to host the
2009 Performance Measurement Association Conference. The University’s international
reputation for leadership in teaching and research, together with its strong linkages
to the New Zealand business community makes Otago an ideal host.
An enduring purpose of the PMA conference is to facilitate a dialogue in the field
of performance management, providing a rare opportunity for academics and practitioners
to meet and exchange ideas. The highly successful PMA series of conferences have
been running since 1998. This time we are fortunate to feature three world-class
keynote speakers: Professor Robert Chenhall of Monash University, Australia: Professor
Ken Merchant of the University of Southern California, USA; and Professor Andy Neely
from Cranfield School of Management, UK.
The University of Otago serves as the venue for the 2009 PMA Conference. Located
in the city of Dunedin, New Zealand, Otago is New Zealand’s first university (being
established in 1869). Otago has been and continues to be a pacesetter in New Zealand
business education. In 1912, for example, it began offering business education and
in 1976 it pioneered New Zealand’s first full-time MBA programme (the only New Zealand
programme to be internationally ranked by the Financial Times and Economist Intelligence
Unit as well as other leading authorities on world-class MBAs).
We invite you to explore this website and learn more about the PMA Conference and
its host, the Otago School of Business. Hopefully you will decide to join us in
April 2009, and we, as your host, can make your visit a meaningful and memorable
experience.
