<p><strong>Title: </strong>Controlling Mälarenergi by Balanced Scorecard </p><p><strong>Seminar date: </strong>2009-01-16 </p><p><strong>Institution: </strong>School of Sustainable Development of Society and Technology </p><p><strong>Course: </strong>Bachelor thesis 15hp </p><p><strong>Authors</strong>: Camilla Nilsson, Amanda Agestav </p><p><strong>Advisor: </strong>Ulla Pettersson </p><p><strong>The main issues: </strong>What does Mälarenergi's Balanced Scorecard look like? Which Balanced Scorecard perspectives are important to Mälarenergi? Is Balanced Scorecard a purposeful control model in order for the group management to fulfil the aims of the owners' directives? </p><p><strong>Purpose: </strong>The purpose is to find out how the group management at Mälarenergi works with Balanced Scorecard. Is Balanced Scorecard a purposeful tool for the group management to fulfill the aims of the owners' directives? <strong></strong></p><p><strong>Method: </strong>This study is based on a qualitative research method in the form of interviews. We have interviewed one respondent. Secondary data have been produced by literature search. </p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Mälarenergi uses Balanced Scorecard exclusively at a group management level. The strategic work at the business areas' different division levels takes place aided by a business development model. We believe that Balanced Scorecard is a purposeful tool to use in order to clarify a company's strategy work and reach the goals in the owners' directives. However, Mälarenergi needs to complement the Balanced Scorecard with another model, since the business areas are so different from each other. In doing so, however, there is a risk that not all employees will be involved in the Balanced Scorecard, but that this will become an exclusive tool to the group management. We believe that there is no clear connection between the Balanced Scorecard work done in the group management and the work within the different business areas with their various focus areas.</p><p> </p>
