The balanced scorecard sounds like a performance management version of a balanced diet - good for you, but not necessarily fun.

This is an interesting one. I wonder if the balanced scorecard is really the best way to get managers to identify and address problems early on. Seems like it could incentivize a 'wait and see' approach instead.

Hmm, the lack of clear guidance on solving customer satisfaction issues is a bit concerning. I hope the organization has other mechanisms in place to support managers on that front.

I like how this approach encourages decision-making aligned with corporate objectives. It's a smart way to ensure managers stay focused on the organization's overall success.

The balanced scorecard approach seems like a double-edged sword. While it provides a range of measures, I worry it could lead to managers fixating on short-term financial goals instead of the bigger picture.

I agree with Zona. Option D is also important as it ensures that managers align their decisions with the overall goals of the organization.

I think option B is valid because having a range of performance measures can prevent managers from focusing on just one aspect.
