Benchmarking: The New Tool.
Stralser, Steven
Planning for Higher Education, v23 n4 p15-19 Sum 1995
This article suggests that benchmarking, the process of comparing one's own operation with the very best, can be used to make improvements in colleges and universities. Six steps are outlined: determining what to benchmark, forming a team, discovering who to benchmark, collecting and analyzing data, using the data to redesign one's own operation, and assessing improvements.
