Case study analysis and findings
Mr. Greenfield, to begin my presentation on the proposed implementation of the Balanced Scorecard process of performance evaluation, please allow me to outline the various advantages offered by this innovative strategic management tool. Due to the decentralized nature of Chadwick Inc.'s divisional structure, and the diversification of the conglomerate's various holdings, the traditional system of financial measurement currently in place has become convoluted and ineffective. By applying the typically short-term objectives necessitated by Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) to the relatively long-term strategic planning utilized by divisions such as Norwalk Pharmaceutical, Chadwick's upper management has severely limited the ability of divisional managers like yourself to measure performance and present operational results. While purely financial measures like ROCE are indeed useful in determining a division's relative level of success, it fails to account for the increasing importance of intangible assets such as customer loyalty, organizational culture, and productive relationships with distributors, manufacturers, and other essential components of the product delivery process.
