A strategic management support architecture: integration of the balanced scorecard and enterprise resource planning

The power of information technology to support strategic management at the executive level may currently be underutilised. A recently developed strategic management system incorporating extensive domain knowledge can be integrated with advanced data utilisation technology to form a comprehensive strategic management architecture. Specifically, we propose an information architecture that exploits the synergies between the balanced scorecard business model, data warehousing and data mining to more completely support management and performance measurement. Our proposed strategic management support architecture may provide new perspectives on how information technology can add value to enhance strategic management.
