input: [Type] International Benchmarking [Description] Best practitioners are identified and analysed elsewhere in the world, perhaps because there are too few benchmarking partners within the same country to produce valid results. Globalisation and advances in information technology are increasing opportunities for international projects. However, these can take more time and resources to set up and implement and the results may need careful analysis due to national differences
output: Where the aim is to achieve world class status or simply because there are insufficient"national" businesses against which to benchmark.
