Benchmarking

Benchmarking is a tool used by individuals, families, communities, companies, societies, and nations to gauge their comparative levels with respect to others in some human endeavor. They identify their position vis-à-vis others and identify the traits, strong points and other aspects, which differentiate successful from the unsuccessful. These strong points or traits or policies are the benchmarks, which help these individuals, families, communities, companies, societies, and nations to compete at equal footing. The articles in this section are related to benchmarking.
