Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to build a proper performance management assessment system for notebook computer industry. The assessment system provides a mechanism for senior managers to have a better understanding of their own competitive strength and weakness, thus improving the company performance. As an example, the fundamental data is collected from year 1998 through year 2000 of seven major notebook computer manufacturers in Taiwan by questionnaire and interviews. Our contributions include: 1) building a total management assessment model for notebook industry; 2) providing an Microsoft Excel based software with real benchmarking data from Taiwan’s notebook industry ready for the companies use.
