Abstract: | Robert Kaplan and David Norton introduced the Balanced Scorecard in their 1992 Harvard Business Review article. 2012 marks 20 years since that article. This anniversary has motivated me to review the state of research on the balanced scorecard, to highlight gaps in that research and to outline some ideas for further research. To this end, I reviewed 114 articles published in 25 accounting journals and 67 articles in business and management journals in the period 1992–2011. The findings of this literature review are presented in three parts. First, the reviewed articles are categorised by topics, research settings, theories, research method, and primary data analysis techniques. Second, the contributions of research to the field and the lessons learned from these studies are discussed. Third, knowledge gaps in existing balanced scorecard research are identified, leading to consideration of several ideas for future research. The last section offers my final remarks. |
