Business organisations have responsibilities towards various stakeholders , both internal and external. To fulfill these responsibilities they must perform well. Traditionally business performance as measures using simple financial ratios but a balanced scorecard enables businesses to have a holistic view of their business by defining areas which which help in setting corporate objectives and measure performance.
