In this quasi-experimental study, we investigate whether bank branches implementing the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) outperform bank branches within the same banking organization on key financial measures. Although the BSC has gained popularity among managers as a performance measurement tool, little empirical evidence exists to substantiate claims that the BSC promotes superior financial performan...

BACKGROUND Comparative effectiveness and cost-effectiveness data for induction-maintenance (I-M) sequences for the treatment of patients with nonsquamous non-small-cell lung cancer (nsqNSCLC) are limited because of a lack of direct evidence. This analysis aimed to compare the cost-effectiveness of I-M pemetrexed with those of other I-M regimens used for the treatment of patients with advanced n...

BACKGROUND The efficacy and safety of axitinib, a potent and selective vascular endothelial growth factor receptors 1-3 inhibitor, combined with best supportive care (BSC) was evaluated in a global, randomized, placebo-controlled phase II trial in patients with locally advanced or metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with HCC and Child-Pugh Class A who prog...

Despite the fact that since its launch by Kaplan and Norton (1992) professional and academic discourse on the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) is intense, it is not clear to what extent organizational changes are induced by and associated with this discourse. An intensive BSC-discourse may not be equated with a large amount of actual changes within organizations. This paper’s aim is to contribute to un...

BACKGROUND Academic hospitalist groups (AHGs) are often expected to excel in multiple domains: quality improvement, patient safety, education, research, administration, and clinical care. To be successful, AHGs must develop strategies to balance their energies, resources, and performance. The balanced scorecard (BSC) is a strategic management system that enables organizations to translate their...

This paper presents applications of a technique for estimating influences of the Channel Bias on phonological typology called Bootstrapping Sound Changes (BSC). Following Author (2017), we argue that for any synchronic alternation, the BSC technique enables estimation of the probability that the alternation arises based on the number of sound changes it requires and their respective probabiliti...

For schools as educational institutions, it is essential to identify their conditions and determine the right strategy for sustainability. The research aimed design Balanced Scorecard (BSC) a performance measurement tool at Sekolah XYZ. applied qualitative method with Simple Research Design (SRD) an analytical model. data analysis, stages of preparation in BSC. primary collection was conducted ...

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) and balanced scorecard (BSC) are two well-known approaches for measuring performance of decision making units (DMUs). BSC is especially applied with quality measures, whereas, when the quantity measures are used to evaluate, DEA is more appropriate. In the real-world, DMUs usually have complex structures such as network structures. One of the well-known network s...

The purpose of this study is to propose a theoretical framework based on a balanced scorecard (BSC) for performance measurement in the water desalination supply chain (WDSC). The reason for choosing this context is that the supply chain (SC) of water desalination has received a great amount of attention, due to issues related to the increased need of fresh water for agricultural, industrial and...

The Balanced Scorecard (BSC), as a strategic management and control tool with an integrated set of leading and lagging performance measures, can secure successful implementation of purchasing strategies. However, the quality of the BSC itself as well as the effectiveness of the process to set up, implement, and use the BSC are crucial. Recognizing the growing importance of the purchasing-BSC (P...
