Dr. David P. Norton		What Is Your Strategy Management Philosophy? By Dr. David P. Norton Every profession has it's approaches, or "schools of thought." The profession of strategy management is no exception, claims David Norton, who believes business leaders should do more to educate themselves about the different schools of thought - and select the one that is right for their organization. The Balanced Scorecard, in its evolution from performance measurement to performance and strategy management system, has become such a school of thought with some considerable advantages over the leading schools.

Strategy or Stakeholders: Which Comes First? By Dr. Robert S. Kaplan How far should organizations go in abiding by stakeholders' interests? According to stakeholder theory, strategy should take into account, if not be built around, stakeholder interests. Nonsense, argues Robert Kaplan. Such an approach is not only wrong-headed, it's impracticable. Besides, companies can account for any stakeholder considerations they view as important through their Balanced Scorecard and strategy map—and hold performance to them, without compromising strategy or their ability to adjust it to changing conditions.

Bognanno, Vice President, Palladium Group, Inc., with reporting by Anne Field, BSR Contributing Writer Is the Balanced Scorecard just for large organizations? Surely not. Besides the countless documented BSC successes among small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), some 20% of BSC Hall of Fame members are SMBs. Still, some SMBs have the impression that the BSC is not for them. The author, who has guided dozens of SMBs in successful scorecard implementations, debunks the most common myths underlying this perception.
