Strategic Planning And The Implementation Of Balanced Scorecard In A Software Company

Kozak, Nuri Ilke 01 September 2008 (has links) (PDF)
Turkish software companies are facing massive challenges to survive in today&rsquo / s global and volatile marketplace. Strategic planning, performance measurement and control systems have recently become crucial in overcoming these challenges. Strategic planning simply stands for defining the moves to achieve vision. Environmental and internal assessments are activities which must be conducted prior to defining successful strategies. In this study broad environmental and internal assessments are conducted in an organized manner by using tools and techniques in the literature. Then strategies are identified with suitable techniques. In order to translate the strategy into action and measure the performance the Balanced Scorecard technique is used. Balanced Scorecard is a relatively new approach to strategic management which has been gaining significant importance in academic and industrial communities. Although Balanced Scorecard is a significant strategic management tool, its application is a challenging and demanding issue. In this study we used a methodological approach for putting Balanced Scorecard into action. We believe that this study will present a useful method to small and medium sized software companies for Strategic planning and Balanced Scorecard studies.

Lin, Yu-Yuan 11 February 2008 (has links)
In recent years, information are digitalized with anything, beside internet, local cable companies are trying to upgrade their existing cables to provide many digital services to give their customers other than watching television. The boundary between traditional Internet Service Provider and local cable company slowly diminished. However, this new market require a huge investment with complex government regulation and face of many new competitors. Therefore it is believe a strong strategy tool will come in handy to help the existing company make better business judgments. This study will intend to use Strategy Map, Balanced Score Card to simulate a dynamic review upon this market of digitalized television market, together will create a system dynamic model capable of evaluate many decisions the company will be making in the future. 1. The decision of this business is often under limited resource in different stages, therefore different strategy will be carefully apply to give their best outcome, this model will tend to analysis these situation and come up with best result. 2. Under government¡¦s new digital television regulation, pay per view policy start to merged and been accepted by the consumers. This model will show how this new trend of consumer habit tend to effect the company¡¦s market decision. The study shows that: 1. Digital competition comes with many hidden factors, a robust entry to this market will result a failure on other segment which fail to follow up, this will eventually brings a chain reaction of total devastating outcome. 2. Human capital is another key factor of this subject, most scenario suggest company will be better taking this matter outside the film by using outsourcing. 3. The whole digitalized network require huge amount of capital, a shortage of capital pool forms a ¡§V¡¨ shape in the time curve, resulting a slowly drop of effeteness, this is adjustable by the different type of strategy company use in this matter. 4. Consumer¡¦s extra spending is the key income to the market, Company will need to provide better service to increase the amount of money customers willing to spend to the television service. 5. The model shows a ¡§pay per view¡¨ system will generate less income in the beginning, but better consumer satisfaction in the long run. Once the consumers are believed in the service, they will willing to try out and spend on other service.

Strategic Position and Tour Manager Performance Measurement Model in Travel Agency Industry

Yeh, Kuo-Lung 25 July 2008 (has links)
This paper adopts a Balanced Scorecard conceptual model, further uses the Factor Analysis, and ANOVA method approach, to empirically measure the strategic position and tour manager performance of travel agencies. The theoretical model identifies an underlying variable construct, financial, customer, internal process, and innovation & learning perspectives which combine traditional subjective or objective measures with operating measures of tour manager performances and the relationships between strategic positions of travel agencies. Those findings of the study provide innovative quantitative methods for measuring the tour manager performance. The results provide an in-depth understanding into the low-cost and differentiation strategy of tour manager performance measure model. According to this research, Taiwanese travel agencies consider 4 financial, 4 customer, 5 internal process, and 5 innovation & learning perspective indicators of tour manager performance measurement which also have relationships with strategic position. Finally, the paper proposes an optimal model that matches the essential needs of low-cost and differentiation strategic development and overcomes the traditional tour manger performance measuring shortcomings.

A Study on Synergies of Balanced Scorecard Applied Between Corporate Headquarter and Strategic Business Units --- with C Telecom Company as an Example

Lin, I-Sheng 26 August 2008 (has links)
In the era of knowledge-based economy, the competition models in information service and telecom industries have been affected by rivals across the countries, evolutions of cutting-edge technologies and new business models. The competition advantages of traditional cross-industry large firms depend on the capability of vertical or horizontal integrations. The joint operational movements have become one of the core competences of enterprise. The large firm which has several strategic business units (SBUs) often faces complications of beneficial conflicts between its SBUs. In addition, cooperative achievement which should be produced by deploying balanced scorecard (BSC) could be affected due to poor communication and evaluation between headquarter (HQ) and the SBUs. By choosing the C telecom company as a case study, this thesis explores how BSC and strategy map which are deployed inside this company affect HQ and SBUs in operational aspect. By interviewing the senior managers from HQ and SBUs of the C telecom company, we can actually access the status of implementing BSC and the synergies between HQ and SBUs in this firm. Moreover, with Goold & Campbell (1998) as the theory basis, we analyze how BSC affects synergies by reviewing the signs of six synergy types. We found in this thesis that BSC in the C telecom company apparently have created significant effects in three synergy types, such as ¡§shared know-how¡¨, ¡§shared tangible resources¡¨ and ¡§combined business creation¡¨. However, only partial or none of effects have appeared in other synergy types, including ¡§coordinated strategies¡¨, ¡§vertical integration¡¨ and ¡§combined business creation¡¨. In order to produce more significant effects of synergies, we provide the following suggestions to C telecom company while functioning BSC. 1. Reinforce the integration of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). 2. Maintain the autonomy of SBUs. 3. Enhance the coordination and intervention competences of HQ. 4. Organize the Office of Strategy Management (OSM).
