'What gets measured gets managed.' This belief has led to the current business mania for quantification. However, in this timely and enjoyable book, David Meikle has discovered the unintended consequence of this rule: 'what gets mismeasured gets mismanaged.' his observation and suggestions are therefore essential not only for people in advertising and marketing, but in any of many businesses where incentives and value-creation have become badly misaligned.
