Balanced Scorecard: The balanced scorecard is a strategic planning and management system that is used extensively in business and industry, government, and nonprofit organizations worldwide to align business activities to the vision and strategy of the organization, improve internal and external communications, and monitor organization performance against strategic goals
6. The Balanced Scorecard as a Management System: The Balance Scorecard is more than a tactical or an operational measurement system.

The generic value chain model encompasses three principal business processes: Innovation processes: managers research the needs of customers and then create the products or services that will meet those needs. Operations processes: represent those processes that produce and deliver existing products and services to customers.

14. The Financial Perspective Kaplan and Norton do not disregard the traditional need for financial data. Timely and accurate funding data will always be a priority, and managers will do whatever necessary to provide it. . Some of the most common financial measures that are incorporated in the financial perspective are EVA, revenue growth, costs, profit margins, cash flow, and net operating income. Additional financial objectives can relate to any variable on the profit wheel, the cash wheel, or the ROE wheel

17. Balanced Scorecard Limitations: Measures that do not focus on strategy Failure to communicate and educate. Measures tied to compensation too soon No accountability Employees not empowered Too many initiatives. No time dimension
47. Limitations to stakeholder measure There are a number of types of stakeholders, and what is good for one stakeholder is not necessarily a benefit for all of the others. Ideally a stakeholder measurement should be performed regularly or even continuously, since the relevant stakeholders, their power and associations may change quickly. Since the management of the organization has to assess the position of each stakeholder, it is subjective perception of management that will ultimately decide the way in which the organization will act towards its stakeholders. It is almost impossible for management to satisfy all demands of all stakeholders completely.
