FINAL RESEARCH PAPER
INTRODUCTION
There has always been great importance or relevance placed on the matter of the measurement of performance and evaluation innovative techniques in business. In this paper there will be an examination of the latest European models for measuring and evaluating public employees’ performance, this will be done through the focus being on assessments via case analysis, and there is an examination of the Italian state of art model as well.
