ABSTRACT
This chapter develops a conceptual framework based on pragmatic constructivism to analyse an actor's performance management topos, with a view to enriching the insight into how to develop more successful constructions. It illustrates the framework by analysing the performance management topos of an organisational successful supply chain manager, applying actor-based performance management. The chapter presents a conceptual framework to analyse the practice of an American supply chain manager, in order to understand how she constructs her topos. In conceptualising an actor's performance management topos, it concentrates on the dimensions of intentionality and epistemic method applied to achieve the intentional outcome. The epistemic method applied by the supply chain manager to construct a functioning collective practice is based on a string of observations and reflections on working with problems. The overall intention of the supply chain manager is to meet the target of 85 percent on time delivery, which is set for her unit by the organisational manager.
