Abstract
Benchmarking is probably at the moment one of the most popular management tool. Courses, conferences (as you can self witness today), books, papers, etc., are flooding the market. Benchmarking is hot and “in” right now, especially in the US. The interest in benchmarking is rapidly growing in Europe as well, although it has not reached the same extent as in the US. Still, the number of companies actually using benchmarking, either sporadically or on a regular basis, is fairly low. Some European branches of large, often multinational, corporations do benchmarking. A few other companies, sensitive to the latest trends, do as well. Otherwise, the propagation of active benchmarking is slow.
