The Balanced Scorecard (BSC) initially developed by Kaplan and Norton is a performance measurement system that supplements traditional financial measures with the criteria that measure performance from three additional perspectives: customer perspective, internal business perspective, and innovation and learning perspective. In recent years, the Balanced Scorecard has been applied to information technology in order to ensure that IT is fairly evaluated. The proposed methodology can also be applied to e-business initiatives. In this chapter, it is illustrated how the BSC can be used to measure and manage e-business initiatives. A generic e-business Balanced Scorecard is proposed and its development and implementation is discussed.

Indonesia is the largest archipelago in the world which of course, has many ports as a place reliance ship. Ports in Indonesia is always crowded by various ship activities. Such vessels require fossil fuels as the material preparation to continue the journey. This has become a business opportunity for PT. Pelayaran Hub Maritim Indonesia as a company engaged in fuel distribution. The operational activities of PT. Pelayaran Hub Maritim Indonesia has made performance measurement yet of the financial aspects only. Therefore, this study aims to design a performance measurement system for companies based on four perspectives of the balanced scorecard is a financial perspective, a marketing perspective, internal business process perspective and learning and growth perspective. This study uses a qualitative method research approach to the type of research in the form of action research case study, the data used is primary data. Data from this study obtained by interviewing the informant is determined based on the balanced scorecard perspectives. Results of this research is a performance measurement system and the weighting of each of the key performance indicators with paired comparison method to get the level of importance of each strategic objective.

Performance measurement can be an effective tool in driving organization improvement to enable your utility to become more competitive, or improve customer satisfaction. WERF Project #99-WWF-7, Developing and Implementing a Performance Measurement System, is developing performance measurement systems by investigating a number of “best practices” in other industries and implementing selected practices at various water/wastewater utilities nationwide to determine how these practices can be adapted and applied. This joint WERF/AWWARF research project has been underway since mid-1999 to provide methods and tools that enable the utility to develop and implement a performance measurement system based on a demonstrated, proven approach. The Volume I Report summarizes the secondary research and project approach. Well designed, properly implemented performance measurement systems can enable utilities to achieve new levels of performance in terms of efficiency, quality, and effectiveness. Interest in performance measurement is increasing in all competitive businesses and industries today, and has been advanced through concepts such as the Balanced Scorecard. Utilities can employ these same concepts and learn “best practices” from other industries' experiences. While a performance measurement system alone does not improve performance or make a utility competitive, when combined with an appropriate business strategy and performance improvement initiatives, it can drive a cycle of change. A successful performance measurement system combines a holistic approach around improved business practices and effective human/organizational strategies in addition to actual performance information for operational decision-making.

This chapter investigates how organizations have been adapting their performance measurement practices in response to their adoption of e-business in their business operations. It aims to identify the features and benefits of an effective e-business performance measurement system. Twelve organizations known to have had some success in developing performance measurement systems suitable for the online environment were studied. The researchers found that these organizations adopted an incremental rather than a radical approach to changing their performance measurement system for e-business, thereby avoiding the costs and disruption associated with the introduction of more complex performance metrics. Secondly, they eschewed the use of best practice recipes (such as the balanced scorecard). The study concludes that although these results may be at odds with the prescriptive generic performance measurement literature, they may be appropriate for the current state of development of e-business.

One of the most significant challenges faced by public personnel executives today is measuring the performance of their human resources information system (HRIS) in order to justify the value-added contribution of the HRIS to accomplishing the organization's mission. Over the last year, the CIA developed and implemented a balanced scorecard-based performance measurement system for its HRIS to justify cost and highlight the effectiveness of the system. The HRIS Program Director, Patricia Minard, used the Kaplan-Norton balanced scorecard framework to identify and align the organization's goals, objectives, and measures; to gather baseline data to measure against established measurement targets; and to measure and demonstrate the value-added contribution of the HRIS.
