The balanced scorecard (BSC) is a strategic performance measurement system model that was introduced by Kaplan and Norton in 1992 and since then is well received by many worldwide organisations. This research seeked to understand the influences of corporate culture on BSC usage among Iraqi manufacturing firms. The research framework of this study is based on the contingency theory. Prior literature found that corporate culture is a contingent factor that is likely to influence the design and usage of performance measurement system such as BSC, in particular related to the diversity of measurement (Henri, 2006; Franco-Santos, 2007).   It is hypothesized that a better match between BSC and contextual variables such as corporate culture, leads to increased corporate performance (Fisher, 1998; Sila, 2007), while poor fit denotes diminished performance. This study has proposed one hypothesis and results indicated that there is a positive relationship between corporate culture and the use of BSC.

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.

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.
