Abstract
There is an abundance of best practice literature. Yet, the phenomenon is still not fully
understood. In this paper, we raise the question how individual and (selected) bundles of
practices affect operational performance. Based on IMSS IV (2005) data, we identify
four categories of practices: best, promising, qualifying, and supportive practices. A
comparison of these practices with the ones identified using the IMSS III (2001) data
shows that best practices may lose that status in the course of time to become supportive
or qualifying practices, while previous best practices may reappear as best practices.
