The balanced scorecard: a necessary good or an unnecessary evil?

Article Abstract:

The Balanced Scorecard has become a strategic framework and control tool, although many organisations have failed to invest enough time and money to analyse its benefits. An analysis of the Balanced Scorecard shows that it is a 'necessary good' for modern organisations. It has become much more than a performance measurement tool and can provide a framework for determining, implementing and managing an organisation's strategy.
