Summary/Abstract: The Balanced Scorecards are used for describing a strategy in modern organizations and for measuring the results of implementing that strategy. For creating balanced scorecards we use strategy maps. The Balanced Scorecard provides a new framework to describe a strategy by linking intangible and tangible assets in value-creating activities. The balanced scorecards can use strategic maps of cause-and-effect linkages to describe how intangible assets, combined with other assets, both tangible and intangible, create value-creating customer value propositions and desired financial outcomes. A strategy map can be defined as a logical architecture that defines a strategy by specifying the relationships among shareholders, customers, business processes and competencies. Strategy maps provide the foundation for building balanced scorecards linked to an organization’s strategy.
