This paper focuses on how the development of the strategy map for the Central Bank of Nepal is done by linking the key measures with the four perspectives of Balanced Scorecard perspectives (finance, customer, internal process, and learning and growth). The central bank is a vital part of an economy, and therefore it should not limit its strategy implementation and performance measurement within the financial perspectives only. So, this paper serves the purposes of creating a road map for discovering the key indicators to create the strategy map and to support future research in the Nepalese banking field. In the absence of a previous strategy map, the strategic goals of the bank were derived from the relevant literature, the bank’s vision, mission, goals, and mandates followed by the expert’s selection. A list of the bank’s strategic goals was derived from the survey questionnaire corresponding to the four perspectives of Balanced Scorecard. The measures of perspective were studied by factor analysis. The research therefore uses a descriptive-exploratory method. Finally, the strategy map was developed and the result consisted of the strategic goals and measures in financial, customer, internal process, and learning and growth.

Introduction. Modern health care is a leader in the social sector in terms of the number of public-private partnership projects. Monitoring of the implementation of strategic projects proves that the targets on the key indicators of the road map are reached. However, experts give a negative assessment of the availability and quality of medical care. Methods. The article describes the experience of using the balanced scorecard as an instrument for linking the key health care indicators and performance indicators of individual health facilities. Principles underlying cohesion and balance of the separate elements of the system are justified. Methods for identifying a statistically significant causal relationship between indicators are analyzed. A general model for the assessment of the attainment of the strategic goals by taking into account the three-level healthcare system is proposed. Results. The presented details on the structure of indicators could be used by managers of health facilities for the development of their own strategies. The article concluded that further specification on the methodology of obtaining objective information to assess the success in health care strategic management is necessary.

This study investigates whether organisational commitment is associated with organisations‘CSR performance within sustainability aspects of their internal process. A structural equation model (SEM) tested two sequential direct associations between: (1) senior management employees‘ affective and continuance organisational commitment and organisations‘ conventional value-creating internal processes; (2) conventional value-creating internal processes and organisations‘ CSR performance within sustainability value-creating internal process. The SEM results show an indirect association between affective commitment and CSR performance within sustainability value-creating internal process, which is mediated by the conventional value-creating internal processes. The findings support an integrated sustainability internal process within a sustainability balanced scorecard (SBSC) as depicted in Kaplan and Norton‘s strategy map. Organisations may develop internal processes that promote CSR outcome characteristics when employees possess higher levels of affective organisational commitment. Future research could investigate a broader  range of environmental outcomes within CSR performance.

Nowadays, more organisations are focusing on how to improve their environmental performance, partly driven by recent regulations in this area. This means that green supply chain management plays an important role over traditional supply chain management. Companies could gain competitive advantage through the proper management of their supply chain activities, for example, purchasing management. In fact, organisations can now generate more business opportunities than their competitors by addressing environmental management successfully. More specifically, it has been identified that implementation of green innovation can become a company’s order winner. However, not many studies have investigated the relationships between the greening of suppliers, green innovation, environmental performance and competitive advantage. The objective of this article is to propose a conceptual model, developed from a review of relevant literature and performance indicators, and to identify how future research can address these issues.

The authors describe how organizations can leverage the maturity model approach in conjunction with foundational concepts of perspective-based performance evaluation models like the balanced scorecard (BSC) to define a comprehensive performance measurement framework. A maturity model by design provides a road-map to the next level of performance. In this chapter, the authors propose using maturity models as a structured way of identifying current capability or maturity level of any supply chain. The authors provide guidance on selecting the right “causal linkages” between supply chain objectives and performance measures. They then define a mechanism for specifying even more granular definitions of measures linked to strategic objectives, as the level of maturity progresses. In this chapter, the authors survey widely used supply chain/business process maturity models and current practices related to measuring operational metric. And then present a tiered framework for operational metric alignment and KPI governance based on perspective-based modeling design principles.

Background Fatigue in baseball pitchers is a process linked to lowered physical and mental performance, injury, and changes in kinematics. Numerous studies have associated fatigue with overuse, high ball velocities, lack of rest time, poor mechanics, and degree of self-satisfaction. The aim of this study was to systematically review the literature to identify a theoretical framework for the relationship between outcomes and the manifestation of fatigue on baseball pitching. The synthesized data may identify areas requiring further research. Methodology This protocol was registered with PROSPERO (ID: CRD42018114194). SPORTDiscus, Medline, PubMed, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and Google Scholar were searched, using keywords such as fatigue in pitchers and changes in kinematics (e.g., pitching mechanics, valgus elbow torque), performance (e.g., pitch count, pitch type), and injury (e.g., pain, elbow, and shoulder soreness). Three reviewers independently screened the articles, selected relevant literature based on abstract eligibility, and assessed the methods described therein for final inclusion. Results A total of 31,860 articles were screened for eligibility and 25 articles were included for the review. The selected articles included epidemiological, longitudinal, experimental, conference papers, and crossover laboratory studies. Evidence extracted from the 25 studies demonstrates a relationship between fatigue in baseball pitching, and three overarching outcomes: changes in kinematics, a decrease in performance, and an increase in injury risk. Conclusions Findings show that a co-dependence between changes in kinematics and a decrease in performance, which stems from central and peripheral fatigue, is a contributing factor of injury in baseball pitchers. A large percentage of baseball pitchers exhibit pain or soreness in either their elbow or shoulder, or both at some point in a season. Initially, kinematic changes occur that could maintain performance, but may increase joint and tissue loading. Performance decreased with elevated pitch counts and innings thrown, and pitching further into games or the season. Evidence was found to be consistent across all studies; however, more work is needed in the area of fatigue as an injury mechanism during pitching. With a proof of concept established, the prevention of negative outcomes associated with fatigue must be the focus of future research and performance should not be the only criteria.

Department of Management in Bogor Agricultural University (IPB), is one of the academic units in IPB that supports the achievement of IPB’s objective to become a world class university. To support such objective, evaluation is conducted by monitoring activity and performance measurement using Balance Scorecard (BSC) approach. The purpose of this study was to determine priority of perspectives and strategy objectives by using Analytical Network Process (ANP) method, measure quality assessment performance in Department of Management year 2015, establish strategic inisiatives, and to figure Departement of Managements’ strategy map using Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) Method. The result of this study indicated that the main priorities of the four perspectives had been defined: Research and Academic Excellence perspective, Stakeholders perspective, Internal Business Processes perspective and Capacity Building perspective. Performance measurement resulted that 10 from 24 performance indicators didn’t achieve the target, and set 10 strategic initiatives to support strategy objective target achievement. Strategy mapping using ISM indicated that strategy objective “Lecturers’ and academic staffs’ competency strengthening” was the key element to support other strategy objectives achievement.
