10. Process of Strategic Evaluation
1) Fixing benchmark of performance
2) Measurement of performance
3) Analyzing Variance
4) Taking Corrective Action

11. Fixing Benchmark of Performance
 While fixing the benchmark, strategists encounter questions such
as - what benchmarks to set, how to set them and how to express
them.
 In order to determine the benchmark performance to be set, it is
essential to discover the special requirements for performing the
main task.
 The organization can use both quantitative and qualitative
criteria for comprehensive assessment of performance.
 Quantitative criteria includes determination of net profit, ROI,
earning per share, cost of production, rate of employee turnover
etc. Among the Qualitative factors are subjective evaluation of
factors such as - skills and competencies, risk taking potential,
flexibility etc.

12.  Qualitative criteria includes the factors such as
capabilities, core competencies, risk-bearing
capacity, strategic clarity, flexibility and
workability.

13. Measurement of performance
 The standard performance is a bench mark with
which the actual performance is to be compared.
 The reporting and communication system help in
measuring the performance.
 For measuring the performance, financial
statements like - balance sheet, profit and loss
account must be prepared on an annual basis.

14. Analyzing Variance
 While measuring the actual performance
and comparing it with standard
performance there may be variances which
must be analyzed.
 The strategists must mention the degree of
tolerance limits between which the
variance between actual and standard
performance may be accepted.

15. Taking Corrective Action
 Once the deviation in performance is
identified, it is essential to plan for a
corrective action.
 If the performance is consistently less than
the desired performance, the strategists
must carry a detailed analysis of the factors
responsible for such performance.
