{"product_id":"9788020030740","title":"Tyranie metrik – Muller Jerry Z. (2020)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe book by Jerry Z. Muller, a professor of history at the Catholic University of America in Washington, takes aim at our obsession with metrics. These began to be used in the 1970s for effective business management, but gradually infiltrated all areas of human activity. Various institutions have succumbed to the belief that the path to success lies in quantifying performance, publishing its results, and rewarding based on numbers. The effort to evaluate based on 'scientific' accuracy leads from measuring performance to a fascination with measurement itself. The result is a tyranny of metrics that threatens the quality of our lives and the functioning of the most important institutions. The book explains, through examples from various fields (education, healthcare, police, military, business, public administration, and the non-profit sector), why the desire to quantify performance distorts data and diverts attention and energy from what should fundamentally matter, at the expense of what can be measured. Metrics can be useful if they complement, not replace, experience-based judgment. However, if we want to maintain our sanity, the author says, we must awaken from our data obsession and return to professional judgment.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Středisko spol. činností AV ČR, v. v. i.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51770405912923,"sku":"9788020030740","price":24.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1787\/2513\/files\/0375286.jpg?v=1763629444","url":"https:\/\/czechmovie.com\/products\/9788020030740","provider":"czechmovie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
