BER - a framework for measuring the relative performance of multi-unit programs

The Basic Efficiency Resource (BER) model uses a two-dimensional matrix  to aid the evaluation of complex multi-unit programs, with quadrants to identify over and underperforming units. The BER model was inspired by portfolio management approaches from the Boston Consulting Group and the General Electric Grid, as well as quadrant analysis by Andreasen (1995). However, its core principles are based on the concept of social return on investment, where output is always compared to input. It provides a relative perspective on performance that allows evaluators to account for impact based on the resources invested in an initiative.

 

 

 

The United Nations' Web Network (July 2007)

UN Website Network

In this article, I present a social network map of United Nations websites and tables of website ranking, based on which websites are most and least popular within the network. At the end, I proved some introductory terms used in social network analysis. Then for anyone interested in the process, I have proved a detailed account of the data collection and mapping process.
