The balanced scorecard is an approach for the company to transfer the strategies, objectives and missions into performance measures. It aims at assist the organization to complete and manage the strategies which the organization set up. The balanced scorecard has different perspectives, such as financial, customer, community and internal processes and employees. And also each perspective has two different indicators, lead and lag. Lag indicator is a measurement for the company to ensure the progress achieved the objectives. And the other, lead indicator is a measure that ensures the strategies were actionable and drive the outcome (Langfield-Smith, K, Thorne, H & Hilton, R 2012).
