Using Balanced Scorecard to Construct the Strategic Implementation System in Military Hospital-A Case Study of an Armed Forces Hospital

Chang, Hwai-luh 20 August 2004 (has links)
The Balanced Scorecard (BSC) was first proposed by Robert S. Kaplan, Professor of Accounting at the Harvard Business School, and David Norton, founder and president of a consulting firm in 1992. They elaborated the idea of strategic measurement system to oversee the performance of a business unit. The system is suitable for both profit and non-profit organizations. After ten years, BSC is proved to be a very powerful tool to inspect the performance of a company, also the implementation of a firm¡¦s strategy. National Health Insurance (NHI) in Taiwan was practiced in 1995. Medical service system had dramatic changes since that time. In order to keep financial balance, NHI develops new policies from time to time, reforms the reimbursement criteria, from fee-for-service to global budget. Hospitals face incessant new challenges. Military hospitals, belonging to non-profit government organizations, play an important role in medical services. It is absolutely important ¡§how to survive under such critical environment, and achieve the goal of permanent operation.¡¨ This thesis is a case study, taking an armed forces hospital as an example to construct its system of strategy management. By implementing the Balanced Scorecard, the hospital can reposition its role according to the mission. Then, the hospital can set up its vision and strategic objectives to draw the strategy maps. Within the four perspectives of the BSC, the hospital can select several measurements to evaluate their performance, then, they can know what has been changed and what needs to be improved. The Balanced Scorecard is the best management tool to implement a company¡¦s strategy. At present, BSC is applied to help strategy management in some hospitals. If it is applicable for a military hospital, it would be a great opportunity to overcome the competitive environment and to achieve the goal to run our military hospital permanently.

Chen, Hsin-jung 26 June 2007 (has links)
The franchising business in Taiwan has become a war zone during past few years. Many international brands invaded this market with great capital, know-now, training and strong management. These competitions had brought a heavy challenge to the existing franchising business in Taiwan. Many of the original franchising business believe by expanding their location rapidly, it will help them maintain their profit and market share, even keep these competitions at bay. However, many of these franchising are lack of proper evaluation system to help them analysis expanding strategy, instead only relaying on the leader instinct and rough figures from past to make these decisions. Little did these business understand rapid expanding bring series of dynamic disadvantages which will only slowly merge in the future and can not be foreseen by traditional strategy thinking. Therefore this study focus on the dynamic approach to franchising business, using Balanced Scorecard and Strategy Map to over view the goals of the business, extend them into Key Performance Index as feasible goals. Finally defined their boundaries and using System Dynamics approach to create a model, construct the casual relation between different elements, using simulation on scenarios to test these models, hoping to find the critical elements which will be key success to franchising business. This study has the following conclusions: All business starts with a goal, but these goals are hard to define, using a series of Balanced Scorecard and Strategy Map will help business create much feasible targets.Using system dynamics model business will be able to look for anti intuition result which usually interference with best decision making.Using system dynamics model to simulate the scenarios will help business to find their leading index element in the business.Using system dynamics model to simulate the scenarios will help business to find the causal relationship between the key elements.

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.

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.
