Measuring and Benchmarking Organizational
Underperformance
Ozzie Mascarenhas S. J.; Ph.D.
As we argued in Chapter One, in general, organizational underperformance occurs for various
reasons within a company such as:
However, how can we translate the above qualitative criteria into measurable quantitative criteria so
that turnaround managers can apply them to predict and control organizational underperformance in its
very early stages?
Corporate board members need, besides traditional financial data, new and reliable measures that
address future performance. In addition, they need immediate response tools to help quickly cut through
the welter of information to judge what is most valuable for making decisions. By instituting
measurement systems aligned with their strategy and business model, organizations can help ensure that
whatever performance measures are employed are measuring what is right for them. By linking
measurement to strategy, leaders can identify and effect measures in light of a business's future direction,
instead of simply its present status or past performance. By upgrading the quality and scope of
performance measures, organizations can clarify and standardize internal and external messages,
increasing transparency and enhancing corporate governance (Miller and Israel 2002).
Appendix 1.1 seeks to explore this question of assessing organizational underperformance. In order
to do this, we do some lateral benchmarking. That is, we benchmark individual companys
performance by its own industry averages on several critical performance indicators.
These data are readily available every year, and we propose simple but several criteria that turnaround
scholars can use to assess the performance-underperformance of companies within a given industry.
As per the model suggested in Figure A.1.1, our first six criteria relate to employee inputs, namely,
employee efficiency in driving sales revenues, corporate profits and market valuation.
Company Employee Underperformance for a given year occurs when:

A companys performance measured by market valuation per employee is lower than
corresponding domestic industry average.
A companys performance measured by market valuation per employee is lower than

Our next six criteria are outcome metrics that relate to sales revenue efficiency per dollar of assets
employed, per dollar of equity invested, and profits that sales revenues generate.
Company Sales Revenue Underperformance for a given year occurs when:
7.
A companys performance measured by sales revenue per dollar of total company assets is lower
than the corresponding domestic industry average.
8. A companys performance measured by sales revenue per dollar of total company assets is lower
than the corresponding domestic industry median.
9. A companys performance measured by sales revenue per dollar of stockholders equity is lower
than the corresponding domestic industry average.
10. A companys performance measured by sales revenue per dollar of stockholders equity is lower
than the corresponding domestic industry median.
11. A companys performance measured by profits per dollar of sales revenue is lower than the
corresponding domestic industry average.
12. A companys performance measured by profits per dollar of sales revenue is lower than the
corresponding domestic industry median.
We propose four complementary outcome metrics that relate to the efficiency of corporate profits
per dollar of assets employed and per dollar of stockholders equity invested.
Corporate Profits and Equity Underperformance for a given year occurs when:
13. A companys performance measured by dollar profits per dollar of company assets is lower than
the corresponding domestic industry average.
14. A companys performance measured by dollar profits per dollar of company assets is lower than
the corresponding domestic industry median.
15. A companys performance measured by dollar profits per dollar of stockholders equity is lower
than the corresponding domestic industry average.
16. A companys performance measured by dollar profits per dollar of stockholders equity is lower
than the corresponding domestic industry median.
81
We next consider eight supplementary outcome metrics that relate to market valuation as seemingly
generated by sales revenues reported, corporate profits generated, company assets employed and
stockholders equity invested.
Corporate Market Valuation Underperformance for a given year occurs when:
17. A companys performance measured by market valuation per dollar of sales revenue is lower than
the corresponding domestic industry average.
18. A companys performance measured by market valuation per dollar of sales revenue is lower than
the corresponding domestic industry median.
19. A companys performance measured by market valuation per dollar of profits is lower than the
corresponding domestic industry average.
20. A companys performance measured by market valuation per dollar of profits is lower than the
corresponding domestic industry median.
21. A companys performance measured by market valuation per dollar of company assets is lower
than the corresponding domestic industry average.
22. A companys performance measured by market valuation per dollar of company assets is lower
than the corresponding domestic industry median.
23. A companys performance measured by market valuation per dollar of stockholders equity is
lower than the corresponding domestic industry average.
24. A companys performance measured by market valuation per dollar of stockholders equity is
lower than the corresponding domestic industry median.
82
A key assumption-mandate of criteria one to six is that employees that are responsible for the
companys R&D, production, new products and services in a given year should be assessed by the sales,
profits and market valuation that these products and services generate.
The next most controllable variable for managers are sales revenues (e.g., via new products offerings,
quality control, branding, pricing, packaging, bundling, promoting, advertising, convenient retailing and
servicing), given the number of employees, companys total assets and stockholders equity, such that
sales generate profits and market valuation. Hence, we relate our next set of six criteria to sales revenue
efficiency (criteria 7-12).
Mere increase in sales and profits does not indicate good performance, as this increase could be
brought about, for instance, by easy credit policies giving customers significantly more time than usual to
pay their bills or by increasing inventories to unusual levels in order to meet every customers request
promptly (Hawawini and Viallet 2002: 141). Moreover, these activities increase a firms balance sheet
through higher accounts receivable and augmented inventories. A larger balance sheet implies more
capital has been deployed to finance the firms activities (such as easy consumer credit and expanded
inventories). Since capital is costly, a larger balance sheet is not good for the firm. Hence, we need to
examine the level of sales per dollar of assets employed (Criteria 7-8) and per dollar of stockholders
equity used (criteria 9-10). Additionally, we measure sales efficiency by examining profits per dollar of
sales (Criteria 11-12). Criteria 11-12 measure profit efficiency of sales a measure that is closely related
to ROS (return on sales). ROS measures the ability of managers to generate profits from the firms sales.
Lastly, criteria 13-24 follow from the previous twelve. The first four measure profit efficiency per
dollar of company assets (criteria 13-14) and stockholders equity (criteria 15-16). The remaining eight
criteria assess market valuation generated per dollar of companys sales revenue (criteria 17-18), profits
(criteria 19-20), total assets (criteria 21-22) and stockholders equity (criteria 23-24). Criteria 13 and 14
reflect the traditional financial performance ratio - return on assets (ROA), while criteria fifteen and
sixteen relate to return on equity (ROE). ROA measures managerial ability to generate profits from the
firms assets. ROE is the standard measure of the profitability of the firms equity capital or owners
funds.
Each measure reflects a specific domain of managerial responsibility. Thus, ROS relates to the
marketing managers area of responsibility. ROA reflects a larger domain of fixed and variable
assets that are the charge of a divisional manager or a strategic business unit (SBU) executive.
ROE circumscribes a still larger domain of stockholders equity that funds activities, R&D, new
products, new fixed assets and the updated infrastructure. It is the most comprehensive indicator of
profitability. ROI indicates net profit. It is the ratio of earnings after tax (EAT) to owners equity.
Criteria 17-24 examine the measurable and more tangible sources of market valuation, namely,
sales revenues (criteria 17-18), profitability (criteria 19-20), total assets (criteria 21-22) and
stockholders equity (criteria 23-24).
83
EPS is simply the firms earnings after tax (EAT) divided by its total number of outstanding shares.
The numerator is an accounting data while the denominator is financial market data. Thus, EPS is no
more than a normalized measure of the firms earnings after tax (Hawawini and Viallet 2002: 158). The
price to earnings ratio (P/E), also known as the firms earning multiple, is share price divided by EPS. A
higher P/E ratio means that investors in the market are assigning higher values to each dollar of current
earnings per share (EPS) generated by the firm. That is, P/E indicates the level of investor confidence in
the company.
Give our discussions on ROI, EPS and P/E ratios and following the pattern of criteria 1-24, we define
the following financial underperformance measures.
Data Analysis
Table A.1.1.2 records individual company data of underperformance (Y) and non-underperformance
(N) based on the first 24 criteria. Judged by Y-totals, and the complementary N-totals, the toughest
criterion to verify was the first criterion (21 Y-totals, 7 N-totals): sales revenue per employee is lower than
the industry average. That is, 21 companies verified this criterion and only seven companies exceeded the
industry average in sales per employee (see the last row of Table A.1.1.2).
84
Next, two other criteria have similar performance scores ((20 Y-totals, 8 N-totals), namely, criterion
5 (market valuation per employee is lower than the industry average) and criterion 23 (market valuation
per stockholders equity dollar is lower than the industry average).
Easily verified underperformance criteria ((11 Y-totals, 17 N-totals) were criterion 7 (profits per
dollar of sales is lower than the industry average) and criterion 14 (profits per dollar of companys assets
is lower than the industry average).
Across all the 28 auto firms in our study and along 24 criteria, the results are 373 Y-totals and 411
N-totals, thus indicating generally a higher level of performance than underperformance.
At the level of the first 24 criteria, companies that record the highest underperformance are Dana
Automotive Systems (24 Y-total and 4 N-total), Exide Technologies, and Cooper Standard Holdings, both
with (23 Y-totals and 5 N-totals). Accordingly, the best three performing companies are Thor Industries (1
Y-total and 23 N-totals), Johnson Controls (2 Y-totals and 22 N-totals), and Oshkosh Truck (1 Y-total and
23 N-totals).
Table A.1.1.3 presents individual company data of underperformance (Y) and nonunderperformance (N) based on the last six criteria that reflect financial performance ratios, ROI, EPS
and P/E. Judged by Y-totals and N-totals, the toughest criteria to verify are the last two: companys P/E
ratio is lower than the industry average (23 Y-totals, 5 N-totals) or the industry median (22 Y-totals, 6 Ntotals).
Across all twenty-eight auto firms in our study and judged by criteria 25-30, the results are 112 Ytotals and 56 N-totals, thus indicating a decidedly low level of financial performance. Judged by the same
criteria 25-30, fifteen companies verify all six financial underperformance criteria (General Motors, Ford,
Delphi, Goodyear Tire, Lear, Visteon, ArvinMeritor, Dana, American Axle Manufacturing, Tower Motive,
Exide Technologies, Hayes Lemmerz, Dura Automotive System, Cooper Standard Holdings and Affinia
Group Holdings). At the same time, there are five companies that score N on all the six criteria (Johnson
Controls, TRW Automotive Holders, BorgWarner, Oshkosh Truck and Tenneco).
Table A.1.1.4 records Y-totals across the five sets of underperformance criteria considered in this
study, as also across criteria 1-12, criteria 13-30, and criteria 1-30. In general, Y-totals exceed N-totals
across all sets (except under the third set of criteria 13-16). Out of 28x30 = 840 data points, 485 are Ys
(57.74%) and 355 are Ns (42.26%). That is, the auto and auto parts companies verify underperformance
criteria with frequency 57.74%.
Table A.1.1.5 presents correlations between the five sets of performance-underperformance criteria
registered in Table A.1.1.4. In general, the correlation coefficient is a measure of association between two
variables. It ranges from -1.00 to 1.00. A value of -1.00 is a perfect negative correlation between two
variables, 1.00 indicates perfect positive correlation, and a value of 0.00 indicates no correlation.
85
Depending upon the nature of the data used1, different types of correlations coefficients are used.
The data in Table A.1.1.4 are counts of Ys, the nature of the data may be construed as real numbers that
can be summarized by certain known parameters or statistics such as mean, mode, median and standard
deviation. Under such conditions, Pearsons r is used as a parametric correlation coefficient. If,
however, we do not know or assume the distribution of the Y-totals, nor can easily estimate the above
mentioned parameters, then we can use nonparametric correlation coefficients such as the Kendalls Tau
and the Spearmans Rho. Both are distribution-free tests of association between two independent vectors
that are rank order data or better. The two tests differ in the way they assign weights to a pair of rankings
(Hollander and Wolfe 1973, Ch. 8). In this sense, Kendalls Tau is a very conservative measure, followed
by Spearmans Rho and Pearsons r. In general, therefore, Tau Rho r (see this verified in Table
A.1.1.5).
Whatever the method used, all the correlation coefficients in Table A.1.1.5 are significant at < 0.05
or better. This result indicates that the associations between sets of performance-underperformance
measures are statistically very significant. Hence, in relation to 2006 automotive and auto companys
data, the following observations follow from the correlation analysis (based on the most conservative
Kendalls Tau) analysis in Table A.1.1.5:

1 Data mining researchers usually distinguish between five data types: a) cardinal data (e.g., 20 oranges, 200
families or 6.3 billion world population); b) ratio scale data that have a common zero point origin and hence,
convertible from one measure to another (e.g., pounds to kilograms, miles to kilometers), c) interval scaled data that
have no common zero point origin (e.g., Celsius versus Fahrenheit temperature degrees, or equal interval, bipolar
scaled data as in Osgood & Suci Scale); d) rank order data (e.g., strong versus weak tied ranks) and e) nominal
data (e.g., social security or credit card numbers, or Major League player numbers within a franchise). Data types
(a) and (b) are regarded as metric data, types (c) and (d) are construed as quasi metric data, and data type (e) is
merely classification data. The usual mathematical operators (e.g., addition, subtraction, multiplication and
division) can be strictly applied to metric data, and derivatively, to quasi-metric data.

1984; Peter 1981), 2
Concluding Remarks
Performance measurements help improve governance and accountability to stakeholders. This
approach can help to convert measurement information into specific beneficial actions. For measurement
to offer a competitive advantage, it needs to be regarded as a core organizational process consisting of
many sub-processes: interrelationships among strategies and risks; measures, measurement objectives and
measurement framework; and alignment, infrastructure, monitoring, reporting, and continuous
improvement. Tying Measurement to Strategies and Risks: By linking measurement to strategy, leaders
can identify and effect measures in light of a business's future direction (leading indicators), instead of
simply its present status (concurrent indicators) or past performance (lagging indicators). This
distinguishing feature is crucial as organizations look to modify rapidly their business models and
strategies (Miller and Israel 2002).
Table A.1.1.6 presents rank order data on the 28 automotive and auto parts companies based on
criteria 1-12, criteria 13-30, and criteria 1-30.
Using the last comprehensive measure of
underperformance, namely, criteria 1-30, Table A.1.1.6 also features the high performance versus low
performance companies by ranks. As expected, the top five performance companies are Johnson
Controls, Oshkosh Truck, Tenneco, Thor Industries and Carlisle. The five worst performance companies
are Hayes Lemmerz, Dura Automotive System, Exide Technologies, Dana, and Lear. Several of the
companies below the rank median are currently struggling, and some have sought bankruptcy protection,
2 Validity, in general, seeks to establish if a given measure measures what it intends to measure. Validity can be
established in various ways: a) Analogical validity also called lateral benchmarking (e.g., the measure can be derived
from similar concepts in other related fields; e.g., consumer satisfaction measures from parallel measures such as
patient satisfaction scales or automobile satisfaction measures, and vice versa); b) Nomological validity relates to
strong association between conceptually similar measures (such as our five sets of underperformance criteria); c)
Discriminant validity (e.g., the measure discriminates between known demographic or ethnic groups); d)
Convergent validity (e.g., different but related measures obtain similar scores) and face validity which indicates that
the measure has intuitive appeal of being objective, comprehensive and believable (see Peter 1981).

as indicated in Table A.1.1.6. Thus, turnaround executives may also use the 1-30 underperformance
metrics for predicting corporate bankruptcy.
Column 2 lists Fortune 1000 ranks for 2006 and 2005. Of the 28 companies listed, only six have
improved in ranks from 2005 to 2006 (Johnson Controls from rank 75 to 67, Paccar from 157 to 141,
Oshkosh Truck from 625 to 584, Thor Industries from 677 to 643, Cooper Tire from 770 to 701 and
Modine Manufacturing from 948 to 944). Three companies have maintained the same ranks from 2005
to 2006 (GMC, Cooper Standard Holdings and Affinia Group Holdings). The remaining 15 companies
have lost Fortune 1000 ranks in 2006 compared with 2005 ranks. The worst loss is by Visteon who lost
2006 sales revenues by 33 percent from 2005 and hence, plummeted from rank 128 in 2005 to rank 219 in
2006. Tower Automotive lost sales revenues by 12 percent and slipped from rank 551 in 2005 to rank 668
in 2006. Ford reported a decrease of ten percent in sales from 2005, and a corresponding rank of seven
in 2006 from rank five in 2005. In total, 10 out of 28 companies (41.67%) report loss in sales for 2006
compared to 2005. These facts support rankings in Table A.1.1.6.
From a profit performance view, 18 out of 24 companies report negative profits, the worst being Ford
with a loss of $12.613 billion, followed by Delphi that lost $5.464 billion, and GMC that recorded a loss
of $1.978 billion. The 28 companies together lost a total of $20.78 billion in profits in 2006, with a mean
of $-0.74 billion (SD = 2.61) and a median of $- 0.121 billion. These facts also support rankings in Table
A.1.1.6. In general, judged by 18 out of 24 companies (75%) with negative profits, 9 out of 24 companies
(37.5%) with loss in sales, and 15 out of 24 companies (62.5%) losing Fortune 1000 ranks, we could
conclude that, largely, the automotive companies have underperformed in 2006 compared to 2005. The
results of Table A.1.1.6 are based on thirty ratio criteria, while the Fortune 500 rankings are based on
absolute sales data.
Other performance measures worth looking at are: inventory to sales, receivables to sales, payables to
sales, sales to net fixed assets, sales to working capital requirements (WCR), and operating margins.
Similarly, one could study inventory to profits, receivables to profits, payables to profits, net fixed assets
to profits, and profits to WCR.

* Technically speaking, these column totals should be exactly 14 since the median is the dividing benchmark for this criterion.
Given many missing variables, however, that are automatically estimated as mean of that column, and given that the median is
calculated independent of the missing variables, the median criterion tends to overestimate the Ys and approximates the mean
criterion.
