Tiivistelmä

This article investigates the dynamics of benchmarking in municipal water

utilities. The authors explain how a voluntary project developed the

characteristics of compulsory benchmarking. While the first adopters of

benchmarking sought efficiency gains, later adoptions have mainly been driven by

institutional pressures. This limits the potential of benchmarking for improving

utility performance.
