The Balanced Scorecard was first proposed by Kaplan and Norton (1992) in their seminal article published in the Harvard Business Review.The BSC framework measures performance from four different perspectives: one financial and three nonfinancial. Financial measures of performance are relevant to senior managers as short-term feedback on the results of their past initiatives aimed at increasing shareholder value. In the BSC framework, these measures address the question: “If we succeed, how will we look to our shareholders?”. Nonfinancial measures are present in the other three perspectives of the BSC framework : the customer perspective (“to achieve my vision, how must I look to my customers?”); the internal perspective (“to satisfy my customers, at which processes must I excel?”); and the learning and growth perspective
