Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The balanced scorecard (BSC) is increasingly the strategic business tool of choice for many organizations. One of the four components of the BSC, ?learning and growth,? is largely misunderstood, underutilized, and ineffectively applied. The BSC framework provides an opportunity for management and workplace learning and performance professionals to communicate through a common language, establish realistic and measurable targets, and align and support the rest of the organization in a strategic way. This book provides proven guidance and customizable tools to measure the role of learning and performance, link it to organizational objectives, and communicate to management results in a common language.
Download or read book Factors Affecting the Adoption of the Balanced Scorecard by Small and Medium Sized Enterprises written by Dieu Thuong Ha and published by Ethics International Press. This book was released on 2024-02-09 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its introduction by Kaplan and Norton in 1992, the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) has gradually been adopted as a fundamental system of management by many organisations. Because the BSC is mainly designed for large companies in developed countries, there is a question of its successful application in Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), especially those in developing countries. As there is little research in this area, this book is designed to fill that gap. In this book, Vietnamese SMEs are used as the central study cases for the application of BSC. Such a system enables SMEs to meet their management needs more quickly. Lessons learned in this study can be extended not only to other Vietnamese SMEs but also to firms in other countries with similar economic conditions. The book will also provide an improved understanding on factors influencing the adopting process.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2005 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1.0, Anglia Ruskin University, language: English, abstract: In today’s business environment measuring business performance is a matter of life and death within any organisation (compare Ittner and Larcker, 1998). Due to the changing nature of work and increasing competition with changing demands (Neely, 1999) the number of people interested in business performance measurement has recently increased dramatically. But business performance measurement is confronted with a vital choice what system the company should use to quantify the success of the organisation’s strategy. In this context the Balanced Scorecard(Kaplan and Norton, 1992, 1996) is almost used as a synonym for measuring Business Performance Measurement (BPM). With this in mind, the following dissertation aims at a critical exploration and assessment of the framework of the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) and it examines if this framework merits its wide popularity experienced and still experiences. Following a definition of the BSC, the author turns to the elements of the BSC with its key proclamations. Strengths and weaknesses will be outlined by considering different case scenarios. The main attention will be put on the question whether the BSC leads to better business results, as it is publicized, or if its wide use is only an outcome of its effective promotion. Before the analysis comes to an ending in which it summarises the key points, the author suggests some recommendations for organisations when using the BSC, in order to meet its problem areas. In this context the author’s personal view will be flowing in.

Download or read book A Critical Analysis of the Balanced Scorecard with Special Consideration to Its Implications for HRM and HR policy written by Michael Hoffmann and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2008-08 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2007 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1,7, London School of Economics and Political Science, 25 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: The Balanced Scorecard is designed and implemented as a strategic management and measurement system. It uses a broad range of innovative indicators and enfolds the overall strategy. Especially, it has extensive implications on human resource processes and its strategic orientation within a company. The development and implementation of a complete BSC is associated with the parallel adoption of a high-performance-work-system and a long-term orientated HR-strategy. With support of the BSC, human resource management becomes a partner with business, which manages its employees as adding value assets and includes HRM in business strategy. HRM gains in importance and makes an essential contribution to the business-wide human resource and organisation development. Empirical results show that it is possible to successfully implement the BSC and the involved long-term orientated HR-strategy in both already long-term and stakeholder orientated enterprises and previously short-term and shareholder orientated companies. Different researchers verified that the implementation of a BSC by simultaneous use of a HPWS is associated with an essential improvement of business performance and development as well as better financial results and higher profitability.

This book was released on 2009-07-24 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2009 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1,0, University of applied sciences, Munich, language: English, abstract: Balanced Scorecard (BSC) is a modern management tool for performance measurement and was developed in the early 1990s to overcome the limitations of managing only with financial measures. The BSC supports translating organization’s strategy into action by defining specific goals and objectives associated with the organization’s vision, providing measures, and indicating initiatives to reach those goals. It helps to solve a big problem in the practice, namely the strategy concept is often brilliant but the realizations fail. The aim of this study is to analyze whether the Balanced Scorecard can solve all problems of traditional accounting systems. To answer this question, firstly, typical problems of traditional accounting systems are studied. Afterwards, the basic concept as well as benefits and drawbacks of BSC are viewed into details. Finally, the limits and difficulties of BSC realization in practice and initiates to avoid the pitfalls are illuminated. It could be stated, that the BSC provides a holistic thinking and a balance between financial and non-financial perspectives: finance, customer, internal business process, as well as learning and growth. It helps organization to implement strategy faster and more effectively. Moreover, BSC supports managers to perform the controlling tasks, namely planning, driving, briefing and monitoring organizational activities. However, the BSC also shows some limitations and difficulties whereby the pitfalls in the practise are based on design and process failures. To avoid these pitfalls useful initiates and special features for practical design of BSC should be implemented. Taking into account this rules BSC could be used as a powerful tool for strategic management accounting.

This book was released on 2019-12-02 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2019 in the subject Business economics - Controlling, grade: 2,0, University of Applied Sciences Brandenburg, course: Finance Controlling & Accounting, language: English, abstract: In this paper, the goals will be emphasized on how the Balanced Score-card (BSC) can be improved towards a Sustainability Balanced Scorecard (SBSC) and used. Furthermore the correlation between the Implementation of Sustainability Balanced Scorecard (SBSC) and the Stock Performance in Study Case of DAX 30 Companies Performance between 2016 and 2018 would be theoretical evaluated and statistically tested. Nowadays, the term sustainability has become popular among companies to implicate social, economic and environmental pillars to their strategy and management of the company. Today, companies should not only focus on their profits, but they are also forced to concern about other issues such as social, economic and environmental. Unfortunately, many companies still do not know how to implement or measure its outcomes. Therefore, this academic paper might be helpful to assist especially managers to implement the concept of Sustainability Balanced Scorecard (SBSC) as strategic controlling for their long-term success. However, these issues would be a challenge for all managers who in general have role for planning, organizing, leading, and controlling so that they need a tool such as Sustainability Balanced Scorecard which might be supporting them. Moreover, having concern to other issues above and inserting them into the concept of Balanced Scorecard, which is in general consisting of four perspectives, such as finance, customer, internal process, and learning & growth, it might become a challenge because they probably need to spend extra more money for doing that and it might affect to their profit.

This book was released on 2013-04-08 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2013 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1.0, University of Applied Sciences Aalen (France Business School Clermont-Ferrand / HTW Aalen), course: International Business / Finance and Audit, language: English, abstract: After the glorious ascent of the Balanced Scorecard in the 80's, Neely, Adams and Kennerley developed in 2002 the Performance Prism as follower system of the Balanced Scorecard. The Performance Prism as a "second generation performance measurement system" claimed to adapt the advantages of the first generation systems but correct their shortcomings. The Performance Prism has the advantages of a multiple stakeholder recognition as well as a explicit strategy dimension. But Neely, Adams and Kennerley did not explain much how the Performance Prism can be applied to a single company department. This work tries to add value to the existing literature by the development of an departmental approach for the Performance Prism as well as an detailed way how to develop the departmental scorecard.
Download or read book The Balanced Scorecard What are the advantages for ADMECO written by Andreas Keller and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2011-09-12 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2003 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 1.1, University of Strathclyde, language: English, abstract: The Balanced Scorecard (BSC) was first described in the early 1990’s (Kaplan,Norton,1992i) and is a widely adopted management framework combining financial measures with non-financial ones in a single frame, transforming the company’s mission and strategy into tangible objectives and measurements. It is not directed at controlling but deliberately sets out to provide a system of communication, information and learning to equip small or large organisations with a strategic framework empowering them to link today’s action with tomorrow goals. The BSC focuses on key measurements, aligning the company with its business units and the overall corporate strategy. A 2001 survey amongst European companies (Press Information Schweizii) confirms the Balanced Scorecard’s role as the leading performance management tool available. It further indicated that 50% of the European companies believe that applying the Balanced Scorecard and linking it with the overarching strategy will ultimately increase shareholder value. If we turn to the concrete case of ADMECO, we find a clear acknowledgement that it needs more than just traditional financial measures to run its operation well. After all, managing the future means more than just knowing about the financial past and present, it means understanding operational factors better in order to drive future success. BSC provides an ideal framework for identifying these factors and unlocking hidden potential (McCunn,1998iii) since it recognises the impact a performance has in one area on another. As Kaplan and Norton originally put it (Kaplan,Norton,1996,p.21iv), if you can measure it, you can manage it!
