IT-SUPPORT FOR BALANCED
SCORECARD IMPLEMENTATION IN ENTROPY OF DOMESTIC ECONOMY
Economic security evaluation and analysis system based on balanced
scorecard includes complex of coherent, interconnected blocks and stages of
activity, which are systemized and adopted to various tasks of techniques,
methods, models. It makes possible to identify, assess and reduce the economic
risk impact to a corporate resources optimal costs acceptable level. The main
business unit functional areas (economic entity property, corporate finance,
human resources, technology, innovation and information, microeconomic
organizational structure) are correlated to its business processes and balanced
scorecard perspectives. It is difficult to process all data arrays, information
and assets flows manually, so up-to-date point for the economic entities is to
apply IT-support complexes and programs, included to IT-project management.
There
are known several researches results on balanced scorecard by A. Asefeso,
B. Freeman, M. Frigo, R. Kaplan, P. Niven, D. Norton, IT technologies
by A. Evans, D. Geoghan, L. Gurak, J. Lannon, K. Laudon,
K. Martin, M. Poatsy, K. Schwalbe, M. Vermaat and others.
However, IT-support for balanced scorecard
implementation in entropy of domestic economy wasn’t recommended.
The
theses purpose is to suggest IT-support for balanced
scorecard implementation in entropy of domestic economy.
Business units faced problems during balanced scorecard implementation process
on the modern stage of domestic economy. However it is an effective tool for
modern process-oriented and risk management system creation, and contributes economic
entities’ development. It is suggested sequence of balanced scorecard
implementation for entropy effect reducing on microeconomic level in domestic
economy conditions: to develop and
submit balanced scorecard system implementation rationale for business and
management evaluation; to design BSC concept
for business units and economic entity; to allocate balanced scorecard elements
for business units and economic entity; to use balanced scorecard basic and
additional principles for business units and economic entity; to adopt and
apply balanced scorecard methodical approach for business units and economic
entity; to optimize business units and economic entity management with balanced
scorecard applying; to form business units and economic entity strategic
management office; to apply software systems for creating, implementation, using
and supporting of balanced scorecard in business units and economic entity; to
make a program of balanced scorecard applying in unpredicted internals and
stochastic externals; to explore BSC applying in regionalization and
globalization trends; to research balanced scorecard problems and development
trends on the modern stage of domestic economy and possible ways to overcome
them; to benchmark successful projects examples in foreign and domestic balanced
scorecard implementing.
There
are a number of BSCol certified program products for balanced scorecard: Oros Scorecard (ABC
Technologies, recently purchased by SAS); CorManage (CorVu); Crystal Decisions
Balanced Scorecard (Crystal Decisions); FlexBI (FlexBI Technology); Open
Ratings Balanced Scorecard (Open Ratings); Hyperion Performance Scorecard
(Hyperion Solutions Corp.); Performance Plus (InPhase Software); Oracle
Balanced Scorecard (Oracle); Pbviews (Panorama Business Views); Strat&Go
(Procos); Balanced Scorecard Manager (ProDacapo); QPR Scorecard (QPR); SAP SEM
(SAP AG); SAS Solution for Balanced Scorecard (SAS Institute); Strategos
(Vision Grupo Consultores) and some others. National economy problem is absence
of required quantity of highly
qualified personnel for implementing these products. Also there is no the list
of requirements to them in economic entities.
IT
technical support officers for balanced scorecard system in business units and
economic entities must be responsible for the smooth running of computer
systems and ensuring users get maximum benefits from them in accordance to
BSC-oriented strategy, processes and operations. Individual tasks vary
depending on the size and structure of the company, but may include: installing
and configuring computer hardware operating systems and applications; monitoring
and maintaining computer systems and networks; talking staff or clients through
a series of actions, either face to face or over the telephone to help set up
systems or resolve issues; troubleshooting system and network problems and
diagnosing and solving hardware or software faults; replacing parts as
required; providing support, including procedural documentation and relevant
reports; following diagrams and written instructions to repair a fault or set
up a system; supporting the roll-out of new applications; setting up new users'
accounts and profiles and dealing with password issues; responding within
agreed time limits to call-outs; working continuously on a task until
completion (or referral to third parties, if appropriate); prioritizing and
managing many open cases at one time; rapidly establishing a good working
relationship with customers and other professionals, e.g., software developers;
testing and evaluating new technology; conducting electrical safety checks on
computer equipment.
IT-support
must become usual function for domestic economic entities data arrows and
assets flows in BSC system. These theses
information can be useful for regional authorities on improving economical and
management innovations, business leaders and economic universities students.
