6. Overview
StrategicPlan
Questions to think:
1. How many new leaders?
2. Which needs education for leaders?
3. Will the demand be answered only by 3 universities?
Like aging generals, many academic leaders
appear to be planning for the previous war, not
the next one.

20. ConclusionStrategicPlan
The current environment demands increasing accountability from
business schools especially those schools seeking AACSB accreditation.
The proposed framework centered on the Balanced Scorecard approach
offers an alternative for developing and implementing a strategic
performance management system in a business school.
The implementation of a strategy based on the mission statement
requires communication and active participation by not only the business
school faculty but the faculty and administrators across the campus.
By Aliomar Galvao
21. ConclusionStrategicPlan
This would lead to consistent messages and sets of priorities throughout
each academic school or division. Through continuous improvement, each
faculty member will gain a thorough understanding and appreciation for
the strategy, implementation of planning, and results achieved.
A successful BSC can provide feedback to the administration and faculty
that can lead to a long-term process that will foster individual and
collective growth resulting in improved organizational performance.
