The
balanced scorecard translates an
organization’s mission and strategy into a
comprehensive set of performance
measures.
Does not focus solely on financial
objectives.
• highlights nonfinancial objectives that an
organization must achieve to meet its [longterm] financial objectives.

Attempts
to balance
• financial and nonfinancial performance
measures
• short-run and long-run performance in a single
report.
Why
does the balanced scorecard
reduce manager’s emphasis on short-run
financial performance?

Reduces
short-term emphasis because:
• nonfinancial and operational indicators measure
fundamental changes
• financial benefits of these changes may not
appear in short-run earnings.
• nonfinancial measures (leading indicators)
signal the prospect of creating economic value
in the future.

financial objectives and measures.

measures used by identifying only the
most critical ones.
The scorecard highlights suboptimal
tradeoffs that managers may make.
