Human lives are getting increasingly entangled with technology, especially comp- ing and electronics. At each step we take, especially in a developing world, we are dependent on various gadgets such as cell phones, handheld PDAs, netbooks, me- cal prosthetic devices, and medical measurement devices (e.g., blood pressure m- itors, glucometers). Two important design constraints for such consumer electronics are their form factor and battery life. This translates to the requirements of reduction in the die area and reduced power consumption for the semiconductor chips that go inside these gadgets. Performance is also important, as increasingly sophisticated applications run on these devices, and many of them require fast response time. The form factor of such electronics goods depends not only on the overall area of the chips inside them but also on the packaging, which depends on thermal ch- acteristics. Thermal characteristics in turn depend on peak power signature of the chips. As a result, while the overall energy usage reduction increases battery life, peak power reduction in?uences the form factor. One more important aspect of these electronic equipments is that every 6 months or so, a newer feature needs to be added to keep ahead of the market competition, and hence new designs have to be completed with these new features, better form factor, battery life, and performance every few months. This extreme pressure on the time to market is another force that drives the innovations in design automation of semiconductor chips.

Die Studie befasst sich mit der Frage, wie und unter welchen Randbedingungen Leistungen, Performance und Qualit t in der Kultur in Form von Indikatoren und Messgr en abgebildet werden kann. Der erste Teil beinhaltet Allgemeines ber Non-Profit Organisationen, da Kulturorganisationen in diesen Bereich eingeordnet werden. Es werden au erdem Merkmale einer Non-Profit Organisation und Unterschiede zu privatwirtschaftlichen Unternehmen aufgezeigt. Im zweiten Teil des Buches wird auf das Performance Measurement eingegangen. Es werden eine Definition, Ziele aber auch die Grenzen aufgezeigt. Anschlie end wird auf die Hauptthematik dieser Arbeit eingegangen, n mlich Performance Measurement in Kulturorganisationen. Genauer wird beleuchtet, wie und unter welchen Bedingungen Leistung, Performance und Qualit t abgebildet werden kann. Zu guter Letzt wird die Balanced Scorecard n her vorgestellt. Diesem Instrument ist deshalb ein eigenes Kapitel gewidmet, da durch dessen Fokussierung auf die Strategie, von der wiederum die einzelnen Betrachtungsperspektiven, sowie die Art der Kennzahlen abgeleitet werden, dem Anspruch einer NPO gerecht wird, deren bergeordnetes Ziel es ist, die Mission zu erf llen.
