What is KPI? (With Examples) | From A Business Professor

Key performance indicators, or KPIs, refer to a set of quantifiable measurements used to gauge a company’s overall long-term performance. KPIs vary between companies and between industries, depending on performance criteria.

What are the most used KPIs and how to measure them? Why KPIs are so important to companies? In this video, I will discuss these questions with you.
