First of all, I would like to mention that my presentation will be a little different from typical presentation. I will not talk about why we started the BSC, how it was first difficult to implement, or finally, how successful we were, either. Instead, I will talk about how our BSC has evolved over the time. Our BSC has evolved by integrating with other management frameworks, methodologies, and philosophy. At the end of my presentation, I will emphasize the importance of the double-loop organizational learning that arises from the long-term use of the BSC.
Geographically, our BSC implementation went across the Pacific Ocean twice like a boomerang.
Does it matter? Yes, it does. As the location changes, management culture and style also changes. For example, Tokyo management emphasizes bottom up rather than top down approach because it counts more on the employees’ participation to strategy formulation and execution rather than the clarity of top-level mission and vision. Communication style is also very different. Strategic communication tends to be tacit in Tokyo as oppose to more explicit in the US. I feel an emphasis is placed on “focus’ in the US whereas comprehensiveness in considered more important in Japan.
