Whilst data from projects has been included with statisticalanalysis in its entirety, selective responses relevant from interviews andquestionnaire surveys were adopted following precedent by Hofstede (2001).Reference to published research identified behaviours allowing fundamentalrelationships to be conceptualised in the performance management model. Aquestionnaire was developed for the overall case study – but included selectedquestions into behaviours related to the case study. The purpose of bothquestionnaire and interview was to create convergence with the project outcomeresults and this has been achieved. With this respect, the holistic nature of theperformance management model is confirmed.270
