Book excerpt: Akademische Arbeit aus dem Jahr 2019 im Fachbereich BWL - Controlling, Note: 2,3, Fachhochschule Brandenburg, Veranstaltung: Finance Controlling & Accounting, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: The following questions are discussed in the paper: Why is it so necessary applied for sustainability of the business nowadays? How can the implementation of SBSC help the company’s financial performance? What are the benefits of implementing SBSC? This work might be helpful to assist especially managers to implement the concept of Sustainability Balanced Scorecard (SBSC) as strategic controlling for their long-term success in their sustainability strategy. During the last decade, environmental and social issues, are reflected in market transactions and have become an important issue so that many companies implemented specific environmental and social management systems. However, these systems have rarely been integrated with the general management system of a firm so that it is often not related to the economic success of the firm and the economic contribution of environmental and social management. The topic about Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has become familiar nowadays, where companies, especially listed companies, have disclosed their CSR-activities, which involve economic, environmental and social issue, in their annual report or in their sustainability reports to show to the public that they are also concerned about these issues. Furthermore, sustainability has increasingly become an important issue for wellbeing of human life and it is responsibility of many parties such as individuals, corporations, or governments. Nowadays, the term sustainability also 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.

This book was released on 2016-05-10 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nowadays, many companies should not only discuss about how to obtain profits from their products. They should also be forced to use any other aspect that has the ability to increase the impact for their long-term success. Examples are: discussing about the quality of their products, the relationship between them and their customers and employees, the production process as well as marketing. Those are the challenges for all managers who are not only struggling to achieve their company’s targets - high profits - but also to achieve customers', employees' and stakeholders' satisfaction. Therefore, managers need to seek out an approach which is able to help them finishing their tasks and involves all the aspects mentioned. Nevertheless, it is not easy to reconcile conflicting demands of individual interest groups. The concept of the balanced scorecard (BSC) is one of the modern approaches to handle these challenges. The balanced scorecard is the main topic of this book. More precisely, it explains the benefits of introducing the indicators-based balanced scorecard as a strategic controlling instrument for implementation of a corporate strategy from four different perspectives: financial, customer, internal business process as well as learning and growth perspective.

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 2018 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern organizations focus on the importance of strategic management and control over current and short term goals and their corrective role on the strategic success factors of the organization in the process of using the resources of the external environment, ignoring the challenges; as the priorities of the activity are to maximally satisfy public expectations, to minimize the spending of resources, to use its own priorities, to successfully overcome uncertainty and risk, to introduce the adequacy of management decisions against the background of reasonable and measured risk..

Book The Balanced Scorecard

Download or read book The Balanced Scorecard written by Robert S. Kaplan and published by Harvard Business Review Press. This book was released on 1996-08-02 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Balanced Scorecard translates a company's vision and strategy into a coherent set of performance measures. The four perspectives of the scorecard--financial measures, customer knowledge, internal business processes, and learning and growth--offer a balance between short-term and long-term objectives, between outcomes desired and performance drivers of those outcomes, and between hard objective measures and softer, more subjective measures.

This book was released on 2016-03-16 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2015 in the subject Economics - Other, grade: 2,1, University of Applied Sciences Bremen, language: English, abstract: Nowadays, many companies should not only discuss about how to obtain profits from their products, which are successfully sold to their customers, but also they should be forced to use any other aspects that are able to give more impact for their long-term success. For examples, discussing about quality of their products, relationship between them and their customers and employees, and the production process as well as marketing. Those are the challenges for all managers who are not only struggling in achieving company's targets - high profits but also in achieving customer, employees and stakeholders satisfaction. Schermerhorn (2011, p. 16) generally sees the role of managers in a company and stated that all managers, regardless of their titles, levels, types, and organisational settings, are responsible for the four primary management functions which are defined by Lewis, et al. (2007) as planning, organising, leading, and controlling. a)Planning should be described that managers have tasks in setting targets and in defining actions that are necessary to achieve the targets of their companies. b)Organizing involves determining the assignments to be done and how those assignments would be managed and coordinated to reach the company's targets. c)Leading should be defined that managers should be able to guide, to motivate, and to lead the employees in order to effectively and efficiently achieve company's targets. d)Controlling requires the managers to monitor process of planning, leading and organising whether its process may be able to help reaching the targets, targets have been achieved as expected and applied strategies have been effective or not. It is difficult for managers to accept the challenges. Therefore, managers need to seek out an approach which is able to help them finishing their tasks and involve

Book Measuring and Controlling Sustainability

Download or read book Measuring and Controlling Sustainability written by Adam Lindgreen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-09-03 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Efforts to establish the measurement and control of sustainability have produced notable tools, but those instruments lack applicability in practice. Increasing the level of standardization of such tools also seems difficult to achieve, because the contexts surrounding the focal organizations differ considerably. Therefore, what we need is a systematic, interdisciplinary assessment of how to measure and control sustainability, so that we can establish an essential definition and up-to-date picture of the field. Measuring and Controlling Sustainability attempts to provide such an assessment in 17 chapters, organized into four main topic sections: (a) organizations and social value creation: concepts, responsibilities, and barriers; (b) accounting, measurement, performance, and diffusion of social value; (c) practical and managerial insights from real-life cases; and (d) choices, incentives, guidance, and ethics. This research anthology provides a comprehensive collection of cutting-edge theories and research that will further the development and advancement of measuring and controlling sustainable efforts in theory and managerial practice.

Book The Balanced Scorecard

Download or read book The Balanced Scorecard written by Robert S. Kaplan and published by Harvard Business Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is the book - by the recognized architects of the Balanced Scorecard - that shows how managers can use this revolutionary tool to mobilize their people to fulfill the company's mission. More than just a measurement system, the Balanced Scorecard is a management system that can channel the energies, abilities, and specific knowledge held by people throughout the organization toward achieving long-term strategic goals. Kaplan and Norton demonstrate how senior executives in industries such as banking, oil, insurance, and retailing are using the Balanced Scorecard both to guide current performance and to target future performance. They show how to use measures in four categories - financial performance, customer knowledge, internal business processes, and learning and growth - to align individual, organizational, and cross-departmental initiatives and to identify entirely new processes for meeting customer and shareholder objectives. The authors also reveal how to use the Balanced Scorecard as a robust learning system for testing, gaining feedback on, and updating the organization's strategy. Finally, they walk through the steps that managers in any company can use to build their own Balanced Scorecard. The Balanced Scorecard provides the management system for companies to invest in the long term - in customers, in employees, in new product development, and in systems - rather than managing the bottom line to pump up short-term earnings. It will change the way you measure and manage your business.

Book Performance Drivers

Download or read book Performance Drivers written by Nils-G¿ran Olve and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2001-05-08 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Practical Guide to Using the Balanced Scorecard performance drivers Nils-Goran Olve, Jan Roy and Magnus Wetter Since the groundbreaking work of Robert S. Kaplan and David P. Norton, the concept of the Balanced Scorecard has achieved increasing popularity in the business world. Previously, many organizations had built their business objectives around financial targets and goals that bore little relation to a long-term strategic vision. Typically, this leaves a gap between the development of a company's strategy and its implementation. The business scorecard, however, provides a more 'balanced view' by looking at not just-financial concerns, but also customers, internal business processes, and learning and growth. But it is not just a system of performance measurement - by focusing on future potential success it can be used as a dynamic management system that reinforces, implements and drives corporate strategy forward. In this book, the authors draw on their extensive experience with scorecard projects to provide a step-by-step method for introducing the Balanced Scorecard into an organization. This is done through the use of some of the most important practical examples in existence, with case studies from ABB, Coca Cola, Electrolux, British Telecom, Nat West, Skandia and Volvo. The desired strategic control system using scorecards that is presented focuses on creating and communicating a total comprehensive picture to all members of the organization from the top down, a long-term view of what the company's strategic objectives really are, how to make use of knowledge gained through experience and the required flexibility of such a system to cope with the fast-changing business environment. This book will provide senior and operational managers, consultants and business academics with a comprehensive view of emerging Balanced Scorecard practice supported by both business advice and a theoretical foundation. Reflections on the relations between the Balanced Scorecard and other areas, such as TQM, information systems and intellectual capital and knowledge management are also made. Business Strategy

Book The Sustainability Scorecard

Download or read book The Sustainability Scorecard written by Urvashi Bhatnagar and published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers. This book was released on 2022-07-12 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a rigorous, straightforward scorecard as a guide, this book shows business leaders and innovators how to create breakthrough sustainable products and processes that are good for the planet, human health, and profits. Natural resource inputs to business operations are getting scarcer and more expensive, while climate-change-related economic shocks pose a risk to seamless operations and, more importantly, threaten business continuity. How can organizations integrate sustainable design in their overarching operations and align it with profitability and corporate strategy? Based on Paul Anastas's foundational Twelve Principles of Green Chemistry, the Sustainability Scorecard is the first scientifically rooted, data-driven methodology for creating inherently sustainable and profitable products and processes. By redesigning with sustainability as a key design element, firms open themselves to unexpected solutions, leapfrog innovations, and sources of value that simply don't occur when sustainability is leveraged purely as a risk-avoidance and compliance measure. Urvashi Bhatnagar and Anastas offer dozens of examples of how sustainable operations can yield benefits such as expanding market share, creating new service lines, and transforming supply-chain and sourcing models to drive the most consistent and highest long-term value. With this comprehensive framework, your firm will be able to identify truly innovative, inherently sustainable products as opposed to less bad products and processes that don't provide the exponential value that only breakthrough products can.
