Purpose Two drawbacks to current management information practices are identified. First, the level of abstraction from which internal management disclosures are constructed using current frameworks is too generic; and second, the current process of identifying relevant management disclosures is outdated. The purpose of this paper is, therefore, to discuss whether contemporary conceptions of value creation from the field of business models can improve the currently applied frameworks used for generating internal management disclosures on intellectual capital. Hence, this paper offers a timely critique of the balanced scorecard, and other performance measurement concepts developed over the last 25 years. Design/methodology/approach The paper reviews contemporary literature on the balanced scorecard, and related concepts, for generating internal management disclosures relating to intellectual capital. Furthermore, the problems that balanced scorecard type frameworks have as vehicles for constructing relevant internal management disclosures are explored. Findings This essay argues that internal management disclosures need more precise underpinnings of value creation than offered by current frameworks. An empirically validated structure that establishes alignment between value creation and internal management disclosures, through the mechanism of business model configurations, is applied to overcome the two identified drawbacks of current practices. Research limitations/implications This is a conceptual/normative offering. Practical implications Following the critique, this essay prompts a new way forward for identifying internal management disclosures and performance measures, their validation, and subsequent benchmarking by expanding upon the concept of business model configurations. This concept offers a value driver platform with related clusters of KPIs connected to each of the 71 identified business model configurations as a starting point for management’s identification of relevant KPIs, and their analysis, benchmarking, and application for performance management. Originality/value The arguments offered in this essay illustrate how it is possible to enhance the relevance of internal management disclosures by challenging and changing the normative level of abstraction applied.

This case study examines the issues in the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) implemen- tation in a business unit of a branch of an international accounting firm in Vietnam. The study described the process of the BSC system implemented a Vietnam-based international audit firm, and used Kasurinen (2002)’s model of barriers to account- ing change to analyse barriers that caused the system ineffective. The study revealed that despite a very sound implementation process, several issues were found. They are low awareness of the system among staff and seniors, and the fail- ure to use the system to align the firm’s strategy with individuals’ development plan. The reasons for these issues were classified into confusers, frustrators and delay- ers. Confusers were the lack of understanding about the system, weak sponsorship process from seniors and managers, and different views on the use of the system among managers. Frustrators were the preference for indirect communication and routine of using personal relationship in allocating staff into jobs. These were found to be culture-related and task-related barriers. Delaying factors were the inade- quate education and training process, the human resource constraint, and the gap between intended and actual uses of a component in the BSC system. The study sug- gests that the inadequate of training for staff about the system seems to be the main cause of all issues; therefore, a better focus on training for staff may help to improve the effectiveness of the system.
