In their practice, local governments in China go beyond institutional transplantation and imitation while learning from Western experience in performance management. Through comparison, reflection and efforts to surpass the West, and on the basis of the realities of China's socioeconomic development, cultural conditions and governmental reform, they have initiated a Chinese performance management model that fits China's conditions, with a view to vigorously advancing the enterprise of administrative reform. From comparing experience in China and the West and analyzing the essence and the theoretical value of the Chinese model, we can conclude that it is a new model that pursues innovation-led performance improvement.
