The favourable characteristics of a balanced scorecard for smes within an internal banking rating : a case study of a german sme SME / Since the enforcement of the institutional framework Base II, in the beginnings of 2007, banks are required to individually evaluate credit risk (CR) for every loan they disburse in order to comply with the new standard and remain competitive. When compared to international levels, German small and medium sized enterprises(SMEs) show a high debt proportion which creates the challenge to satisfy the increased information needs of banks to secure efficient bank lending; otherwise,they would be hindered substantially.

Previous issue date: 2009-06-25 / Since the enforcement of the institutional framework Base II, in the beginnings of
2007, banks are required to individually evaluate credit risk (CR) for every loan they
disburse in order to comply with the new standard and remain competitive. When
compared to international levels, German small and medium sized enterprises
(SMEs) show a high debt proportion which creates the challenge to satisfy the
increased information needs of banks to secure efficient bank lending; otherwise,
they would be hindered substantially. Methods such as proactive strategic planning,
control, and management systems can assist companies in condensing, manipulating
and perfecting information required within rating process by banks. The Balanced
Scorecard (BSC) contemplates a holistic management system integrating
quantitative and qualitative factors that drive firm s future performance and success.
In this regard, it would be important to investigate if a BSC should be considered a
valuable and efficient tool for German SMEs in the context of an internal banking
ratings processed by German banks. If so, how would companies use and why is
such a tool very important for rating concession of loans? In order to investigate
these issues, the main purpose of this research is to examine the effect of a BSC on
credit rating criteria within an internal banking rating (IBR) in Germany. Overall, this
research is based on the enlightened stakeholder theory, which requires a firm to
have a single-valued objective: value maximization. This thesis is split up into an
exploratory and a theory reviewing section, as well as a methodological part that
implements qualitative methods as a means to gather data. Furthermore, qualitative
data was gathered through expert banking sector interviews during the exploratory
stage as well as during a case study development supported by the theory reviewed.
Using enlightened stakeholder theory in combination with empirical results of former
research on BSC, the proposition that BSC creates value for a company is validated.
Transaction cost economics (TCE), involving asymmetric information, explains
actions taken by banks, and gives a theoretical explanation for suitable cooperative
designs regarding SMEs as debtors with efficient transaction costs. This combination
was used in a case study, where cross case analysis was also applied to analyze if
data would fit with the scarce literature on BSC in the context of SMEs. Results
showed that BSC is an efficient and valuable tool for SMEs within IBR as long information is redeployed in other management functions, and as long applicants rely

O risco de concessão de credito é avaliado levando-se em conta parâmetros classificatórios que utilizam tanto aspectos quantitativos como qualitativos na análise. Comparação internacional mostra que as empresas alemãs de pequeno e médio porte apresentam altos índices de inadimplência, evidenciando a necessidade dos bancos em manusear e ter acesso a informações relevantes que assegurem empréstimos eficientes, pois caso contrário, a concessão de empréstimos poderei ser negativamente afetada. Métodos como planos estratégicos de prevenção , controle e sistemas gerenciais podem ajudar as empresas na provisão de informações relevantes, necessárias dentro do
processo classificatório de análise de risco pelos bancos. O Balanced Scorecard
(BSC) contempla uma visão holística do sistema gerencial de uma empresa,integrando fatores qualitativos e quantitativos ligados ao desempenho futuro e sucesso da empresa. Nesse contexto, seria importante investigar se o BSC poderia ser considerado um instrumento valioso e eficiente para empresas de pequeno e médio porte da Alemanha, no que se refere ao procedimento classificatório de análise de avaliação de risco de credito concedido por bancos alemães. Se afirmativo, como então esse instrumento poderia ser usado e por que seria ele de vital importância para empresas e bancos envolvidos nas transações de concessão de crédito? Assim, o objetivo da pesquisa é analisar o efeito do BSC sobre os critérios de classificação de risco de crédito nos procedimentos internos dos bancos e como as empresas que se utilizam desse instrumento poderiam ser beneficiadas na relação tomada/concessão de empréstimos. A pesquisa tem como base
conceitual a teoria dos stakeholders, cuja análise requer que a empresa tenha um
único objetivo: a maximização de valor. A dissertação é composta por uma seção exploratória e outra de análise de teoria, além de uma seção que contempla a
descrição dos procedimentos metodológicos usados. Os dados qualitativos foram
coletados por meio de entrevistas com especialistas do setor de bancos da
Alemanha durante a etapa exploratória e na fase de desenvolvimento do estudo de
caso amparado pelo arcabouço teórico usado. Utilizando a teoria dos stakeholders em combinação com a evidência empírica de outras pesquisas sobre BSC, a proposição de que esse instrumento cria valor para a empresa é validada. A teoria dos custos de transações, envolvendo informação assimétrica, explica as ações realizadas pelos bancos e desenvolve uma explicação teórica para a adequação de designs cooperativos entre empresas alemãs de pequeno e médio porte, classificando-as como devedoras com custo eficiente de transação. Essa investigação foi conduzida através de estudo de caso, considerando também o cruzamento de casos como procedimento metodológico a ser aplicado na análise dos dados de empresas alemãs de pequeno e médio porte em relação à escassa
literatura sobre BSC enquanto instrumento usado por tais tipos de empresas. Os resultados mostraram que BSC é realmente um instrumento eficiente e valoroso para empresas alemãs de pequeno e médio porte no processo de classificação do
risco de crédito pelos bancos. Isso é evidenciado principalmente quando as informações são disseminadas em outras funções gerenciais dos bancos e quando as empresas tomadoras de crédito utilizam modelos de negócios.
