KPI and Impact Factor Dilema

Why we are in dilema? Who did KPI and What is Impact Factor?
We usually talk and worry about KPI developed by others but we never worry about how we can develop our own KPI.
Why we are worried about others impact factor not our own impact factor.
Foe the academician we should do research to achieve our impact factor, may be our students such as functional graduates, employable and marketable OR social services that develop a trend and changes in society or schools OR ideas for government policies. These are the impact not just international journals.
We are worries about number of reseach grants or values. It is not fair if we compare between the amount of research grants for mathematician and biochemist and musician. BUT we make it as a criteria who have more money we give them high marks but most of money for chemicals which finally go to sinks and may be end up with one manuscript read by few friends. Compared to some areas with little money for small equipment that can be used for many times and benefited by many with high impact.
