Notes:
Over the last few years, ‘benchmarking’ advanced to a key word in organizational development and change management. Originally a tool in business studies to search for best practice that led to superior performance, increasingly benchmarking also became practice in non-profit and public institutions. Notably, the European Commission uses benchmarking as an instrument to monitor its employment guidelines. The radar chart approach is one of a number of special analytical tools that has been developed in this connection. The paper discusses the advantages and limits of benchmarking labour market performance by radar charts, recommends a broadening of the scope by using the employment systems approach and provides, in both cases, examples of application.
