The success of any company's brand largely depends on the marketing strategy adopted to ensure its sales are increased. However, it is imperative that a company analyses the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of their promotional means to provide sustainability.

The strategic series of systems, processes and programs that enable any company to exceed customer expectations on a consistent basis and be profitable is the performance of their supply chains. The synchronization of supply chains ensures that customers will have a consistent positive experience when purchasing from a company, and this holds true for both Business-to-Business (B2B) and Business-to-Consumer (B2C) companies (Cirtita, Glaser-Segura, 2012) . For those companies that compete in industries that have very rapid product lifecycles and supply chains that must support very rapid shifts in product and service strategy, the challenges are multiplied (Li, Lin, 2006). Sony Corporation is one of the most-recognized brands globally in consumer and industrial electronics. The many supply chain best practices that Sony has developed over decades of intensive effort and study have given them the ability to compete in five core business segments on a global scale (Sony Investor Relations, 2012). These five business segments include financial services, games, home and personal electronics, motion pictures and entertainment and nearly a dozen other ancillary businesses. What unifies the Sony value chain across these diverse businesses is their strong focus on supply chain performance and optimization (Sony Investor Relations, 2012). The value chain of Sony is so engrained into supply chain performance that it is common for the senior managers of supply chain planning, supply chain management, optimization and 3rd party logistics to regularly manage the new product development and introduction (NPDI) teams and processes. The intent of this analysis is to evaluate how Sony has transformed its supply chain into a potent differentiator that fuels their formidable record of internal innovation and global sales success. With nearly 70% of global revenues emanating from foreign markets, Japanese-based Sony has had to become agile and very adept at managing complex supply chains on a global scale. The company has been able to successfully transform its supply chain into a formidable competitive strength at a strategic level globally.

The main work of the balance score card is to assist various businesses in the decision making process in areas of finance, leadership and organizational performance (Ziegel,1998).In this paper, we evaluate the importance of balance scorecard to managerial cost accounting functions.
