More about Balanced Scorecard
The Balanced Scorecard helps managers look at their businesses from four essential perspectives and answer some important questions: How do customers see us? What must we excel at? Can we continue to improve and create value? How do we appear to shareholders? By looking at all of these parameters, managers can determine whether improvements in one area have come at the expense of another.

It is a premier tool for aligning a company's current actions with its strategic goals and also a performance management system that helps business leaders clarify their corporate vision and align people, business units, and resources with a unified strategy.
