The balanced scorecard (BSC) initially developed by Kaplan and Norton, is a performance management system that should allow enterprises to drive their strategies on measurement and follow-up. In recent years the BSC has been applied to information technology (IT) and currently the first real-life IT applications are starting to emerge. In this article, it is shown how the IT balanced scorecard ...

We study the classical problem of noisy constrained capacity in the case of the binary symmetric channel (BSC), namely, the capacity of a BSC whose inputs are sequences chosen from a constrained set. Motivated by a result of Ordentlich and Weissman [In Proceedings of IEEE Information Theory Workshop (2004) 117–122], we derive an asymptotic formula (when the noise parameter is small) for the ent...

When considering education, quality of educational service and stakeholder satisfaction can be taken as more important. Most of the performance models are fails to address the evaluation of organizational performance. This study examines the performance of entire management faculties in Sri Lankan Universities and the perception level of management employees about the Balanced Scorecard (BSC). ...

Benzylselenocyanate (BSC), a novel organoselenium compound, has been found to inhibit azoxymethane (AOM)-induced colon carcinogenesis in rats during initiation. To investigate its mechanism of action, we examined the effects of BSC feeding on the following parameters: (a) metabolism of [14C]AOM to 14CO2 in vivo; (b) metabolic activation of AOM to MAM and of MAM to formic acid and methanol by ra...

a r t i c l e i n f o The objective of this paper is to demonstrate how the boosting approach can be used to define a data-driven board Balanced Scorecard (BSC) with applications to S&P 500 companies. Using Adaboost, we can generate alternating decision trees (ADTs) that explain the relationship between corporate governance variables, and firm performance. We also propose an algorithm to build ...

INTRODUCTION Survival and best supportive care (BSC) costs for patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC), after stopping therapy, are poorly characterized yet an important aspect of patient care. This study examined survival and costs associated with BSC after one or two lines of therapy (LOTs) for mRCC. METHODS A retrospective cohort analysis used claims data from commercially ins...

A Balanced Scorecard (BSC) presents the quantitative goals selected from multiple perspectives for implementing the organizational strategy and vision. However, in most current BSC frameworks, including those developed for the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) field, each perspective is handled separately. None of these perspectives is integrated automatically into a consolidated v...
