Managing Strategic Change using Industry Benchmarking Alternatives

In this paper, we have introduced and discussed a new and evolving tool of corporate strategy - benchmarking. We have compared and contrasted it with other, and sometimes competing, business philosophies and instruments of strategy. We have considered and deliberated on its three vital and expanding applications to business functions - sales (market penetration), manufacturing and quality management, and finance (cost control) with true stories from leading organisations in North America. We have also attempted to chart the direction of its future growth and development, especially in redefining business performance measurement.
