Abstract

The radar chart approach is one of a number of special analytical tools that have been developed in connection with benchmarking in the private and public sectors. Although well established as a management tool, the radar chart approach has to our knowledge never been applied to benchmarking labour market performance. This paper assesses the usefulness of the radar chart approach in this policy area. The radar chart approach makes two important contributions: First, it provides a simplified presentation of multiple performance indicators, which is highly intuitive even to non-experts. Second, the surface area, formed by the four (or more) axes, can also be used as a composite performance indicator.
