A discussion on "balance" in balance scorecard

In  my lecture, I explained that "a balanced scorecard  (BSC) is a scorecard which is balanced". Below is a study note on the notion of balance in balaneced scorecard, based on Soderberg et al. (2011):

1. The three structural elements of BSC
• its measures are derived from strategy
• there is a balance among measures
• the measures are causally linked
2. Two "use" elements of BSC:
• double-loop learning
• tie-in to compensation
3. BSC classification scheme based on point 1 and 2:

    4.  Expected benefits of using BSC

• improve alignment of strategic objectives with strategy
• foster stronger consideration of non-financial drivers of performance
• develop a consistent system of objectives in the company
• support shareholder value-based management system
• improve company's long-term results
