description: The World Management Survey is the first cross-country, cross-industry dataset built to measure the quality of management practices in establishments. The WMS is an interview-based evaluation tool that defines 18 key management practices, and scores them from 1 (“worst practice”) to 5 (“best practice”). The evaluation focuses on three key areas: First, monitoring: How well do organizations monitor what goes on inside the firm, and then use this information for continuous improvement? Second, targets: Do organizations set the right targets, track the right outcomes, and take appropriate action if the two are inconsistent? Third, incentives/people management: Are organizations promoting and rewarding employees based on performance, prioritizing careful hiring, and trying to keep their best employees?
