Abstract: Balanced Scorecard concept is about measure and control. The first step is to determine the goal of Balanced Scorecard: it should help to measure and control the performance of business unit; The next step is to assign a target performance values and develop a plan to archive the target results; The final step is controlling the performance, re-thinking business and separate business processes;
