	The term performance is even broader than productivity and profitability and covers a plethora of factors that influence a ~~company’s~~ success. Hence, well-known performance controlling instruments like the [[Balanced Scorecard]] do include productivity as a factor that is central but not unique. Other relevant factors are e.g. the customers’ or stakeholders’ perception of the company.
