A reasch of strategy map and dynamic strategy goal of nonprofit organization ---Take Public Television Servive as example

Chen, Chun-chi 06 February 2006 (has links)
The main idea of strategy map is to compensate for the exceedingly static balance scorecard and to have the four frameworks more logically arranged. Strategic action is a dynamic system existing in the four frameworks of balance scorecard. Policymakers tend to pay too much attention to the variations of the short-time measurements than the long-term structural effect of system. Through time delay and the effect of negative feedback loops, strategic actions may cause the change of loops, leading to some side effects or counterintuition. As a result, managers may fail to correctly analyze situations and make appropriate decisions, have a complete strategic planning, and have the strategic goal expectably achieved. Public Television Service is a nonprofit corporation with properties of wireless television corporation and nonprofit organization simultaneously. Based on article 2 of the law of PTS, governmental donations of foundations for which a budget is prepared in accordance with this Law shall be reduced by ten percent each year until the third fiscal year; according to article 41, the station may not broadcast business commercials¡K This clause brings about an innate problem that it prevents PTS from raising money by dealing with commercial pursuits. With governmental donations barely increased, improving funds-raising ability has become an important object of PTS. With limited financial resource, PTS requires a dynamic managerial tool to keep its balance between the object of public welfare and the budget. The purpose of this article is to discuss the dynamic relations among strategic themes, actions and measurements on the strategy map of PTS, and to map the management system by qualitative and quantitative system dynamics. According to the result of secondary data analysis and the interviews, this research constitutes the strategy map of PTS based on strategic themes of four frameworks, modeling each sub-system. After testing, basic simulating and policy simulating, we can then explore the interaction among all sub-systems. Based on the theory of improving the dynamic alignment of balance scorecard strategy in system dynamics, this research models the system of PTS by intuitional and systematically-thinking methods separately. The results shows: 1. In the systems constructed by BSC and strategy map, dynamic relations exist in each component. Strategies may turn out to be counter-intuitional owing to time delay, and the effects of positive and negative loops. 2. Policy laboratory made by system dynamics can be used to simulate the policies. Leading and lag index of BSC also have dynamic properties. Therefore, when setting strategy goals or KPI, managers have to consider the influence caused by loops and time delay. In addition, the outcome of policy and case simulation reveals: 1. If the quality of TV programs does not progress in company with its service, the system will fall into the crisis of growth limit. 2. Improving service quality one-sidedly may lead to an effect disappointing or being detected after a long time because of time delay. 3. When executing the strategy to improve the quality of TV programs (to increase the budget of TV programs), PTS should manage to raise service capacity and satisfaction to reduce the force of negative feedback loops and maintain the policy effect.

Strategic Management and Hospital Performance in small and Medium Hospitals : From the Viewpoint of Balanced Scorecard

Chu, Wen-Yang 30 August 2001 (has links)
Strategic management and hospital performances in small and medium hospitals ---- From the viewpoint of Balanced Scorecard---- Abstract: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The new era of National Health Insurance has impacted the management of the small and medium hospitals significantly. For the purpose of survival and maintaining good performance, the small and medium hospitals need to adopt a suitable strategic manage ment. The published literatures in the hospital performance are numerous but with more focus in the field of public and larger hospitals, very few of them discussed about the smaller hospitals. Previously ,the measurement of hospital performance has been mainly based on the financial guideline. In this work , we investigated the relationship between strategic management and hospital performance in the different scaled small and medium hospitals using the viewpoint of Balanced Scorecard(BSC). The purposes of this study are (1) to classify hospital strategies using the Miles & Snow¡¦s typology, (2) to investigate the effects of the hospital size on hospital strategies, and (3) to examine the relationships between these different strategies and hospital performance. This project was a cross-sectional and non-experimental study with a hospital as the unit of analysis. We used an eleven- items questionnaire (Conant, 1990) to classify hospitals into four different strategic types: prospector, defender, analyzer and reactor. (Miles & Snow,1978). We also used Kaplan & Norton¡¦s Balanced Scorecard to measure the hospital performance, which including 17- item questions for internal business process, innovation and learning, customer as well as financial perspectives. Four hundred and twenty three questionnaires were mailed to the hospital CEOs with 151 were returned, representing a response rate of 35.7%. Factor analysis, Chi-Square test, ANOVA and Scheffe¡¦s test were used for the statistical analysis. The distribution of bed size were 49.7% under 50-beds, 15.2% with 51-100 beds, 11.9% with 101-150 beds, 5.3% with 151-200 beds, 3.3% with 201-250 beds, as well as 14.6% with greater than 250 beds. The results showed that 37.7% of the hospitals were analyzer, followed by defender (26.5%), reactor (24.5%), and prospector (11.3%), respectively. From a factor analysis of 17 items related to the balanced scorecard, we obtained six measures of internal business perspective (£\=0.80), all six items had factor loading above 0.60 and eigenvalues above 1.0 derived from principal components analysis with varimax rotation. Innovation and learning perspective was measured by 5 measures (£\=0.76) with factor loading above 0.60 and eigenvalues greater than 1 . Customer perspective included 4 measures (£\=0.59) with factor loading above 0.50 and eigenvalues greater than 1. In addiction , we obtained two

Study On The National University Performance Management System By A Case School Using Balanced Scorecard

Hu, Jui-Hua 22 December 2002 (has links)
In the past decade, the number of universities and colleges grew rapidly. The nature of the advanced education has also changed substantially. The change of the elite education into the democratic education could remove the pressure for students to enter a higher and more prestigious educational institute, but it causes the financial problems on the government and also the deterioration of educational quality. It leads to the dispute about distribution and application of university¡¦s resources, promotion of the university¡¦s competitiveness and the diversification of advanced education. Due to the fierce competition of the advanced education environment that grows gradually, the performance of operation and management of national universities become more important. This research chose one national technical university as the sample to discuss its performance management system and applied the concept of Balanced Scorecard on the case based on the characteristics of the school, so that it can design an appropriate performance management system, which is exclusively suitable for every different school. This research conducted interviews and distributed questionnaires for a further discussion. After compiling the results from interviews and questionnaires and information gathered from literature review, the main conclusion could be summarized as follows: 1. The current performance management system of the case school is not complete. It could not integrate long-term strategies and the bonus system properly that should be improved. 2. The performance management system of Balanced Scorecard¡¦s framework could fully carry out the strategies of the research case school. It helps promote the cooperation between departments, solve the difficulties the university is facing, and it is efficient to deal with the future changes of the advanced education. 3. The most representative performance measurement indexes of each perspective of the research case school include ¡§the ranking of students joint recruiting¡¨ for customer perspective, ¡§the rate of freshmen¡¦s enrollment¡¨ for financial perspective, and ¡§the satisfaction of in-campus learning environment¡¨ for internal business process perspective. As for the learning and growth perspective, ¡§the willingness of cooperation required for both the ability and position of faculty¡¨ can represent the index. 4. National universities always have distinguishing features, prospect and the projects of middle-long term. Using four perspectives of Balanced Scorecard to establish measuring criterion and standards that can build a well consideration and direction for action-project of competition for school¡¦s strategies. In this study, we found that the four different perspectives can obtain a uniform chance for development by questionnaires from directors of the case school and experts of the universities in south area. From interviewers, we also got the results that the Balanced Scorecard can be used in other national universities. Based on reasonable performance results, the Balanced Scorecard could be applied for all national universities. The conclusion could be a reference for the research case school to apply the Balanced Scorecard on the performance management system in the future, so that when the university encounters the impacts of fast-paced society, it could adopt the appropriate methods and respond in real time. The process and method adopted in this research could also provide the national universities a reference to develop their own perfect performance management system.

Evidential Analysis in the Process of Balanced Scorecard Embedding¢wTaking the Distributor of a High-Technological Material

Wang, Tai-An 13 June 2003 (has links)
Abstract To pursue continuous growth, enterprises have to draft out various development strategies of their operation management. Nevertheless, whether the development strategies can achieve the co-understanding and supports from the members of the organization and whether they can be really executed have to depend on systematic methods for implementation. Balanced scorecard is a kind of management system that makes the organizational strategies realized. It was originated from the balanced scorecard of the United States in 1990. It emphasized that the assessment standards for the performance on the four aspects of an enterprise (the aspect of finance, the aspect of customers, the aspect of internal procedures, and the aspect of innovation and learning) should be originated from their strategies, and should be linked with the rewarding system of the enterprise. It referred that balanced scorecard is not merely a performance assessment system, but also a management tool linked with strategies and rewarding system. This research takes the case of a company, being a distributor of high-technological material, as an example to understand the structural process of its embedding of ¡§balanced scorecard.¡¨ Secondly, through evidential analysis, we can understand the high- and low-rank staff¡¦s different extents of agreement to balanced scorecard ever since it was embedded in the company. Finally, according to the analytic results, the research points out the relevant problems encountered in the process of embedding and gives suggestions, which can be a reference guide for the analyzed company and other companies planning to embed balanced scorecard. The conclusions of the research are as follows: In spite of having received guidance from a professional consulting company in the embedding process of a series of organizational reform plans, the analyzed company was confronted with a lot of problems over the promotion of balanced scorecard. This is closely related to the enterprise culture, value judgment, organizational climate and leadership style deeply cultivated in the company for a long time. Therefore, it is not a problem of system itself, but a problem of execution. Apart from supporting the promotion of the system, high-rank and leading grades should hold positive attitude and take initiative action to participate the promotion of the system, and cultivate correct enterprise culture, value judgment, organizational climate and leadership style. In this way, the implementation of the system can be sustained continuously, and the future value of the enterprise can thus be created.

The Balanced Scorecard¡]BSC¡^,a new management method, has been presented in such an occasion¡]by Kaplan & Norton in 1990¡^.This management system starts from erecting the company¡¦s vision and mission, further to choose his own strategy. However these strategic targets are planned to form a strategy- map, which consisting of four dimensions. Moreover in each dimension respectively to have various Key Performance Index¡]KPI¡^and those KPI will drive future performance -evaluation-indicators. Precisely speaking that BSC can transform the strategic targets into practical actions. As BSC can link strategy with execution, evaluation and learning to be a feedback loop so that performs to test strategy and adjust it to conform to the variation of external environment. Finally a company, which has applied above system will form a high-performing organization. This case study is based on the biggest domestic integrated stainless steel producer. Reviewing its constructed procedure of introducing the BSC and comparing its actual performance data of before and after applying of BSC system. At the same time, reconfirm by analyzing the outcome of questionnaires & visiting data. Hopefully, to prove applying BSC is an effective way to improve management performance. About this section, first of all, referring to data collection, to collect the questionnaires which are respondent from all of department managers and customers of case company. Secondly, to choose specific top managers of main departments of case company for deep visiting- survey. Finally, to analyze above data and get the following conclusions: 1. There are still some unrevealed problems existing in case company after the analysis of data acquired. 2. There is an only effective way to promote management performance that should be under a combination between monitoring KPI and incentive system. 3. The BSC can promote the management performance indeed. This study can offer a reference for other related steel producer or other enterprises to adopt the BSC in future. Absolutely, to construct such a system could make company act efficiently response against the impacts resulted from the fast variation of external environment and no doubt that could keep the management more flexible and more competent forever.
