Many of them is associated with strategic management system, which comprises base of fulfilled activities. Moreover, necessity of changes is imposed by the multitude of globalization processes and challenges of contemporary economy, such as increase of information and communications technology, emphasis on innovations, growth of customer significance. Current image of all organizations is largely oriented at satisfying of customers needs, thus their priority is delivering these products and services, which completely fulfill customers expectations. In the case of mentioned issue, essential significance role plays strategic management system, which presents directions and area of undertaken operations. Moreover substantial are also instruments, by means of which this system is performed therein modern tool i.e. the Balanced Scorecard. The next part of this paper defines basic assumptions of strategic management and characterizes main instrument of its implementation, which is the Balanced Scorecard. 1. The role of strategic management in organizations’ functioning The strategic management conception is strictly connected with the strategist term, because this role falls to present managers, which in their work are directed at resolution of dilemmas, affecting the future condition of organization therein its employees. Managers are obliged to response about organization’s idea, its vision 1 Mgr Karina Wieczorek, doktorantka Wydziału Zarządzania Politechniki Częstochowskiej. 261 in the future as well as effective ways of functioning in the comprehensive, global economy. The basis of strategic management comprises strategic thinking which affects mainly prospective unit’s image and interpretation of present and directions of development. Approach to strategic thinking has worldwide and alternative nature within which considers threats, uncertainty, opportunities, and also strengths and weaknesses. According to solutions applied in our age, the most popular is promulgating of decentralization of operational and tactical functions and centralization of strategic functions2 Strategic management is “the process of identifying, evaluating and implementing strategies in order to meet the organizational objectives”3. Process of strategic management is understood as a sequence of informational and decision-making operations, backed by functions of planning, organizing, motivating and controlling, which is oriented at organizational troubleshooting, creating desired image and analyzing of environmental conditions and internal potential. This definition presents objectives, which unit wants to obtain and leads on subject of strategic management, perceived as key organization’s problems, which solutions conditions success. In contrast, mentioned functions, i.e. planning, organizing, motivating and controlling play only adjuvant role. Essential role in this aspect fulfills also assessment of external and internal environment. Other definition of strategic management expresses it as process of creation, implementation, control and verification of strategy. Thus, it means realizing of organizational assumptions and their development through strategy. Accordingly, necessary is defining of the strategy term4. Literature on the subject treats strategy expressiveness as fundamental element of organization’s success. It means that strategy have to be defined in clearly, explicit and evident way, which presents clear-cut direction of development. Nevertheless, this idea demands advanced leadership in strategic management5. Generally, strategy is connected with plans, activities’ programs and functions of organizations. According to E. Kirejczyk, strategy is understood as long-wave way of management defining economic plans and manners of their realization, which enables its functioning in environment. As per author, among main characteristics of strategy, distinguish comprehensiveness and coherence. From the development area point of view strategies classification involves: progression (therein concentration strategy and diversification strategy), stabilization, reduction and 2 3 4 5 Z.

In contrast, from the way of creation point of view, distinguish original strategy and imitative strategy6. Figure 1 presents potential scheme of strategy building, which includes several fundamental questions, i.e. idea of strategy, competitive position assessment, process of defining of mission, objectives and strategic variants, choice of strategy, strategy management7. R. W Griffin defines strategic management as multi-faceted process of management, which presents way of defining environmental opportunities and threats and is oriented at formulating and implementation of “effective strategies”. Strategy in this context comprises sequence of operations aimed at achievement of assumptive objectives. In contrast, “effective strategy” is considered to be plan which enables alignment disharmonies between organization and its environment and achievement organizational objectives8. In the area of many definitions of strategy, H. Mintzberg, identified its three fundamental assumptions, i.e.9: · predictability of strategy – what means that strategy should be realized appropriately to prospective, essential for organization environmental changes, · measurability of strategy – what means that conditions, affecting the functioning of organization during strategy implementation should be described by quantitative indexes, · formality of strategy – what means that process of strategy formulating should be based on formal rules and procedures. Besides strategy concept, among key terms characterizing strategic management are also: mission, vision, objectives, etc. Mission expresses organizational goal and the sense of organization existence10. Vision presents expectations of organization, and its future perspective. Moreover brings out its intentions directed at functioning improvement which are adequate with its desired being11. 6 E.

According to J. L. Thompson and F. Martin, both mission as well as vision show one, overall aim of organization. Basic difference is vision focuses on future organizational condition and response how organization would be? Mission in turn affects present image and nature of organization and describes its main purpose, which is oriented at consumers. Objectives comprise effects and results of underta- 264 ken activities. They centre on area or nature, success level and preoccupation character of organization12. Besides these fundamental issues presented above, strategic management roleplays basic role in the context of environment assessment, organizational learning, integration specific operations, changes adapting and creating desired value both in the present as well as in the future13. Strategic management comprises determinant of effective organization functioning, and at the same time decides about its success. The most essential role, plays therefore process of its implementation. In order to appraisal of correctness and advisability of implemented strategy the most popular on the background of the 21st century is using recommended for it tool, i.e. the Balanced Scorecard which is presented in the next part of this paper. 2. The Balanced Scorecard as a tool of strategic management implementation The beginning of the Balanced Scorecard development has took place in the middle of 1950s and resulted from researches performed by American scholars, i.e. R. Kaplan and D. Norton within which conclusions were that managers of the same organization, absolutely differently perceive organization’s strategy14. On the global background, these researches first time occurred in the 1992 the “Harvard Business Review” published popular article in this area15. Literature on the subject has identified the Balanced Scorecard conception as a term of proven and effective tool oriented at attaining, describing and metamorphosing of immaterial assets to measurable value, essential for organization’s stakeholders and at the same time process which enables favorable implementation of diverse strategies. This idea created by R. Kaplan and D. Norton assumes transformation of strategy to productive aims, measures, assumptions and initiatives16. According to Z. Pierścionek, the Balanced Scorecard comprises concept of implementation organization’s strategy, which is based on translation of mission, vision and development strategy to quantitative objectives and indexes. Assignation of these determinants is necessary to assessment of progression of realized strategy 12 J. Thompson, F.

Zarzecki, (Ed.), Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu Szczecińskiego, 6. 664, Szczecin 2013. 265 in following periods. The Balanced Scorecard is characterized by extensiveness and sustainability of operations resulted from strategy implementation. In the context of formulation and implementation strategy, the Balanced Scorecard extensiveness affects highlighting of objectives, both in the financial as well as market-based nature (therein developmental and internal processes). Sustainability of the Balanced Scorecard is oriented at striving for balance between short-term and longterm objectives, financial and nonfinancial objectives and also internal and external measures17. The Balanced Scorecard focuses on assessment of organization’s condition on the basis of financial instruments in terms of four fundamental aspects, namely18: · financial results, · level of customer’s satisfying, · internal organizational processes, therein level of employess satisfying, · strategic development. As results from afore mentioned issue, this conception defines results of organization in four main dimensions. In regard to each of them, presents objectives, measures, plans, initiatives and dependences between them. According to the Balanced Scorecard forerunners, it was created in order to focus on other nonfinancial aspects, hence the tree distinct balanced areas. Figure 2, illustrates model of the Balanced Scorecard conception19. Financial perspective – it role plays essential role, both in the area of functioning of private sector as well as public and non-profit sectors. In terms of commercial sphere, it delivers information about financial realization of strategy, therein level of performed expenditures, which is verified indexes, resulted from other perspectives. In regard to other cases, financial indexes deliver information about achievement of assumptive goals, but consider also cost minimization. Among classical financial indicators distinguish: profitability, revenue growth and utilization of assets20. 17 Z.

Internal process perspective – it focuses on verification these internal operations which are important from the assumptive objectives, related to perspectives: financial and customer point of view. It considers productivity of activities, especially important for organization functioning. Measurement is mainly based on: development of product, production, manufacturing, etc.21. Employee learning and growth perspective – this perspective relates to team groups in organization. Its successive development comprises necessary element in the context of progression and success of other perspectives. In this case, considerations affect assessment of organizational potential toward knowledge extending, distribution of financial resources regarding acquiring new abilities, enhancing of professional qualifications and motivating system, moreover investments in information technology initiatives22. 21 P. R. Niven, The Balanced Scorecard, [in:] Balanced Scorecard Step-By-Step for Government and Nonprofit Agencies, Second Edition, John Wiley and Sons, Inc., New Jersey 2011, p. 17. 22 G. Blokdijk, The Four Perspectives of the Balanced Scorecard, [in:] Balanced Scorecard 100 Success Secrets, 100 Most Asked Questions and Approach Development, Management, Measures, Performance and Strategy, Emereo Pty Ltd, Newstead 2008, p. 46. 267 Customer perspective – it presents image of organization, created by customers. It encompasses interactions between entity and its customers on the basis of operations resulted from its present and future tasks. It is analyzed through level of customers’ satisfaction, customers’ profitability, quantitative and qualitative market share23. Each of these perspectives responds to a number of substantial questions, which are key to adequate fulfilling their assumptions, namely24: · financial perspective – encompasses responses to all questions about financial measures, indicators, etc., · customer perspective – encompasses responses to questions: Who are our customers? Which are expectations of our customers? What can we offer our customers?, · employee learning and growth perspective – encompasses response to question: In which way, organization can elaborate and share its nonfinancial resources? This issue centres on employees, their culture, informational and technological resources. It especially affects implemented educational programs and motivating systems, as well as application of new technology, · internal processes perspective – encompasses response to question: what kind of processes, should organization undertake, for creating desired level of satisfaction, both for customers as well as stakeholders? Appropriately formulated Balanced Scorecard should fulfills four fundamental determinants, therein25: A. cause and result – each objective should be contained in sequence of cause and affect operations resulted from organization satrtegy, B. connection with financial indicators – each defined objective have to be oriented at specific financial effect, C. performance indicators – the Balanced Scorecard aim is balance between final results and determinants of performance creating, D. indicators have to vivify changes – all indicators defined in the area of the Balanced Scorecard have to create changes and challenges for organization processes. As results from the term, the Balanced Scorecard aims at balancing differences between practical and theoretical dimensions of strategies, applied in organizations. Besides many characteristics presented above, literature on the subject treats the Balanced Scorecard as a method which can be adjusted to specific strat23 P. Jedynak, Ocena znormalizowanych systemów zarządzania jakością: instrumenty i uwarunkowania wartości, Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego, Kraków 2007, p. 116. 24 P. R.

Matejun, (Eds.), Wydawnictwo Politechniki Łódzkiej, Łódź 2009, p. 252. 268 egies. Moreover, it can be used together at all levels of organizations within which considers whole organizational culture, therein employees mentality and their rules. It focuses on identification and achievement of organizational objectives, where creates balance between contrary determinants, therein: between internal and external circumstances of environment, previous applied and modern measures and indexes, between financial and nonfinancial objectives, organizational resources and resources based on idiosyncratic, comprehensive assessment of entity, between measurable priorities and operational plans and also between strategic objectives and other objectives and their indicators. Results of the Balanced Scorecard get to all levels of organizations26. Together with emergence of the Balanced Scorecard, its essential was strictly connected with “new way to measure performance in organization”. According to R. Kaplan and D. Norton, a performance management system comprises essential determinants of effective management, thus each organization should practical relate to five rules which characterized this system, namely27: · describe their strategy through model of the Balanced Scorecard, · activate changes and movements by managers and organizational activity, · create strategy on the basis of successive operations and promulgate learning of strategy, · balance entity and its strategy through inter alia services shared, · increase of awareness of strategy among team groups. Implementation of the Balanced Scorecard leads to reduction of the multitude barriers resulted from strategy introducing. One of them affects absence of ability in terms of translation strategy and vision into measurable objectives. Second encompasses absence of relationships between employees, and following on from this absences between functions and tasks realized by them. The Balanced Scorecard enables also eradication problem of incapacity of assessment of strategy progression what takes place through increase of awareness between employees about effectiveness realized by them activities28. Conclusion According to K. Grochowski, using the Balanced Scorecard brings on many advantages and it is essential in many cases, therein29: 26 M. Nair, What is Balanced Scorecard, [in:] Essentials of Balanced Scorecard, Emerge Inc., New Jersey 2004, pp. 13-14. 27 J. Łukomska-Szarek, M.

Grochowski, Strategiczna Karta Wyników narzędziem wspierania konkurencyjności w branży logistycznej, [in:] Organizacje komercyjne i niekomercyjne wobec wzmożonej konkurencji 269 when organization functions in dynamically changing market, when the dynamics of organization growth is very high, when organization executives or managers change, and at the same time change priorities, · when organization will participate in takeover. As resulted from foregoing contents, the Balanced Scorecard widens previous postulated financial measures concerning other indicators. Moreover it concentrates employess attention on strategy, enables translation assumptions of organization into objectives outside of financial area. Executives in this case have possibility of assessment of trajectory of creation value in the present as well as in the future. Moreover they learn in which way to motivate team groups and how to invest in organizational knowledge and on the basis of which they formulate present and future procedures. One of the most essential determinants comprises that fact that the Balanced Scorecard separates short-term efficiency from long-term process of value creating30. The Balanced Scorecard as many scholars assert, doesn’t comprise a tool of controlling, but instrument which enables translation strategy and its assumptions into measurable objectives, measurable, indicators. It focuses on achievement of strategic objectives at all organizational level. By using it impossible is daily monitoring of organization functioning but possible is appraisal of correctness and validity of implemented strategy. The Balanced Scorecard understood as instrument of strategy communication is one of the most frequently chosen way, which leads to obtainment desired organizational success, without regard for nature of fulfilled function by entities. · · · References 1.
