La letteratura e la normativa, sia italiana che internazionale, hanno dimostrato un crescente interesse per il tema della misurazione della performance nelle università. Sono quindi oggi presenti numerosi contributi sul tema, ciascuno dei quali mira ad analizzare uno o più dei numerosi e spesso complessi aspetti legati allo sviluppo di un efficace sistema di misurazione per gli atenei. Il paper, sulla base di un originale schema interpretativo, presenta l’analisi dei contributi accademici e normativi italiani dell’ultimo decennio, ai fini di definire lo “stato dell’arte” sul tema ed individuare quali aree siano state approfondite e quali invece per lo più trascurate.

It aims to defi ne the “state of art” on this issue and it identifi es which areas have been studied in depth and which areas have been more neglected.
