Gerard McElwee is a lecturer in
the Business School at Teesside
Polytechnic. In this paper he explores
some issues in the development of
performance indicators in higher
education. He argues that the central
thrust of PIs in polytechnics is away
from in-house 'academic' control to
control by the system more generally
and therefore by external management
systems.
