Abstract

The Balanced Scorecard (BSC) has been widespread among large organizations, but its impact on economic outcomes is still subject to debate. Seeking to discuss this issue in the Brazilian context, the paper presents an econometric analysis of the possible relationship between economic performance and the use of BSC in large organizations. This relationship is debated by using data collected in year 2005, which includes strategic alignment, adoption of the BSC and management of intellectual capital. The findings of this show that the presence of the BSC has a better link with contribution margin in companies that have adopted the tool for over a year. However, there is a significant relationship between the revenues of companies and the use of BSC. It also notes that the length of time using the BSC has a positive and relevant coefficient to the contribution margin of the companies, but not billing them.
