Balanced Scorecard hade en blomstrande period med snabb spridning under 90-talet. Dock har det nu gått mer än 20 år sedan Balanced Scorecard först introducerades och modellen har blivit kritiserad. Kritiken visar på att det förekommer tvivel om Balanced Scorecard som styrmodell. Därför har syftet med denna uppsats varit att skapa en förståelse för varför Balanced Scorecard har kritiserats. Detta genom att svara på frågeställningen: Vilka svårigheter finns det med Balanced Scorecard och varför?För att kunna svara på frågeställningen tillämpade vi en kvalitativ undersökning där vi gjorde intervjuer på två företag, The Palladium Group samt SKF Business Consulting.

This thesis is a chronological survey over the hut and house remains from the Stone Age to the Early Middle Ages in Eastern Central Sweden. The thesis also contains a test which I have conducted to see which investigation method had the best results in identifying house remains at an archaeological site. I subsequently discuss the result of this test, what it represents and also what may be done differently in order to get other types of results..

Bakgrund: Balanced Scorecard är traditionellt en effektivitetsmodell där mätning av verksamheten sker vertikalt utifrån vanligen fem olika perspektiv. Kvalitet är ett oundvikligt inslag i de flesta organisationer varför det blir viktigt att kvalitet genomsyrar hela organisationen.Syfte: Att beskriva och analysera mätbarheten hos kvalitet utifrån fem olika perspektiv i ett Balanced Scorecard (finansiellt, kund, interna processer, medarbetare och innovation/utveckling).Avgränsningar: Vi har valt att studera endast en variabel, kvalitet, för att se om denna variabel skulle kunna läggas till den traditionella Balanced Scorecard-modellen. Vi beaktar endast kvantitativa mått i studien.Genomförande: Vi har gjort en förstudie där två styrkort tagits fram. Därefter har vi genomfört personliga intervjuer med dels personer som säljer Balanced Scorecard-konceptet, dels personer som anses mer distanserade till konceptet. Samtliga av dessa respondenter fick också fylla i en kompletterande enkät.

Från att tidigare använt sig av budget som styrmedel har många av dagens företag börjat söka efter nya och kompletterande styrmetoder. Balanced scorecard utvecklades i syfte att fylla det behov som fanns för alternativa och kompletterande styrmetoder. Balanced scorecard består huvudsakligen av fyra perspektiv. Dessa perspektiv är: det finansiella, kund-, process- och förnyelseperspektivet. Vårt huvudsakliga intresse i dena uppsats har fokuserats på förnyelseperspektivet samt medarbetarnas kompetens som en viktig framgångsfaktor för att nå de mål vilka företaget ställt upp.

Sedan 1980-talet har organisationers ekonomistyrning förändrats och år 1992 introducerades Balanced Scorecard av Robert S. Kaplan och David P. Norton. Med användandet av Balanced Scorecard ligger fokus på både finansiella nyckeltal och icke-finansiella nyckeltal som tillsammans leder företaget mot ett långsiktigt strategiskt mål. Vid införandet av Balanced Scorecard är det av betydelse att hänsyn tas till attityden hos organisationens medarbetare för att förändringen ska bli framgångsrik.

Today`s society requires that municipalities focus must be more on effectivity and quality. Because of this it is important for municipalities to look after the controlling systems. Many municipalities choose to adopt models that reflect the efficacy. The municipality of Vellinge has chosen to implement balanced scorecard in all their efficacies. We found it interesting when it was exposed that 70 % of all implementations of balanced scorecard fails.

Bakgrund: Finansiella mått har i alla tider använts av företag för att avläsa resultat. På senare tid har även vikten av mått på icke finansiella faktorer uppmärksammats. Som en följd har resultatmätningssystemet Balanced Scorecard vuxit fram. Balanced Scorecard sägs bland annat leda till förbättrad kommunikation och information inom organisationerna samt en ökad grad av måluppfyllelse. Trots den stora litteraturmängden rörandes Balanced Scorecard saknas information om vad som krävs för att organisationer skall kunna utvärdera om de väntade effekterna uppstår vid införandet av ett styrkort.
