The Balanced Scorecard
by
The Balanced Scorecard translates a company's vision and strategy into a coherent set of performance measures. The four perspectives of the scorecard--financial measures, customer knowledge, internal business processes, and learning and growth--offer a balance between short-term and long-term objectives, between outcomes desired and performance drivers of those outcomes, and between hard objective measures and softer, more subjective measures. In the first part, Kaplan and Norton provide the theoretical foundations for the Balanced Scorecard; in the second part, they describe the steps organizations must take to build their own Scorecards; and, finally, they discuss how the Balanced Scorecard can be used as a driver of change.

You will reconsider every assumption you have had about software costs and benefits.” –Slava Frid, Gemini Systems, CTO, Resilience Technology Solutions “Information Security is an issue that concerns governments, companies and, increasingly, citizens. Are the computer systems and software to which we entrust our sensitive and critical information, technologies that are out of control? David Rice has written an important and welcome book that goes to the heart of this issue, and points to solutions that society as a whole needs to debate and embrace.” –Nick Bleech, IT Security Director, Rolls-Royce “If you are dependent upon software (and of course, all of us in the modern world are) this book is a fabulous discussion of how and why we should worry.” –Becky Bace The Real Cost of Insecure Software " In 1996, software defects in a Boeing 757 caused a crash that killed 70 people& " In 2003, a software vulnerability helped cause the largest U.S. power outage in decades& " In 2004, known software weaknesses let a hacker invade T-Mobile, capturing everything from passwords to Paris Hilton’s photos& " In 2005, 23,900 Toyota Priuses were recalled for software errors that could cause the cars to shut down at highway speeds& " In 2006 dubbed “The Year of Cybercrime,” 7,000 software vulnerabilities were discovered that hackers could use to access private information& " In 2007, operatives in two nations brazenly exploited software vulnerabilities to cripple the infrastructure and steal trade secrets from other sovereign nations& Software has become crucial to the very survival of civilization. But badly written, insecure software is hurting people–and costing businesses and individuals billions of dollars every year. This must change. InGeekonomics, David Rice shows how we can change it.
