Small businesses are experiencing growth scenario in emerging countries by the prospect of economic development, these countries, including Brazil, have a booming economy before the world crisis in the last five years, especially with the participation of small and medium enterprises. These factors generate increased competition and the need to expand market share through management actions in the quest for acquiring new customers. Moreover, these changes increase the need to properly use the information and organizational performance. Some national and international studies show the existence of peculiarities in small organizations, especially in environments of family management. Such particularities raise a scenario with several organizational deficiencies regarding the evaluation of their performance. In some cases, when there are static systems, traditional and focused only on the financial perspective, especially short term. Alternatively, the tools encourage strategic planning and observance of medium and long term, in many ways, whether financial, internal processes, customers, suppliers, and innovation, among others. Therefore, this study aims to identify and analyze the applicability of the system performance evaluation with emphasis on strategic and BSC - Balanced Scorecard. Regarding the research method, is classified as exploratory, with the participation of 25 companies, whose research was conducted between 2012 and 2013. Therefore, the research included the construction process and a structured questionnaire on practices and interest for the use of strategic tools, with emphasis on the Balanced Scorecard. Whose main result presented a high degree of interest in the applicability of the BSC by most of the participating institutions. Furthermore, It was observed the growing interest in using the Balanced Scorecard when it increases the company size, regardless of the area of market action. Participating companies have shown an outline of the strategic objectives and the establishment of indicators for assessing the performance due to their correlations with the BSC

We studied the situation in Spanish public universities regarding the use of the Balanced Scorecard (BSC), as an instrument of control and strategic management. Also, we studied its application to the School of Mines and Energy at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid. The main advantage of the BSC is that improves the organizational structure of the workplace and the achievement of the objectives that ensure long-term success. First we review the strategy for success used in the Spanish educational system and specifically in the Spanish public universities. Then using the BSC and applying the main strategic lines for the successful management of the School of Mines and Energy at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid. The strategic lines affect all the college groups and the success of the BSC tool is to increase communication between the faculties, personal auxiliary, students and society in general that make up the university. First we performed a SWOT analysis (DAFO in Spanish) there are proposed different perspectives that focus the long-term strategic objectives. The BSC is designed based on the strategic objectives that set the direction through using indicators and initiatives, the goals are achieved up to the programmed schedule. In the perspective of teaching, objectives are set to update facilities and increase partnerships with other universities and businesses, encouraging ongoing training of staff and improved coordination and internal communication. The internal process perspective aims at improving the marketing, the promotion of the international dimension of the school through strategic alliances, better mobility for students and professors and improved teaching and research quality results. It continues with improving the image of the school between customer?s perspective, the quality perceived by students and the loyalty of the teaching staff by retaining talent. Finally, the financial perspective which should contain costs without harming the quality, improving the employability of students and achieve relevant jobs at teaching and research through international measurement standards.

The methodology Balanced Scorecard (BSC) focuses on the major critical issues of modern organizations, whether with or without profit. The measurement of the effective performance of the latter is by evaluating the successful implementation of organizational strategy. The aim of this paper is to present the development of a system of performance measurement strategy for a nonprofit organization, whose object of study is the Associação de Apoio as Comunidades do Campo - AACC, in the context of the BSC methodology of Kaplan and Norton. The methodology of this case study is an exploratory, descriptive and qualitative, and diagnose the coherence of the Strategy Map in an organization, based strategic planning from 2010 to 2012. Initially conducted a literature review covering the main aspects of strategy maps and performance evaluation involving the translation of the BSC and strategy evaluation. The main results of the proposed approach refers to evaluation of overall scores for each dimension of the BSC methodology, financial, customer, internal processes, learning and growth. These results are able to help the organization evaluate and revise their strategy and, in general, to adopt management methods more accurately. Data collection is centered on interviews with semi-structured questionnaire. The findings highlight on balancing and alignment of strategic objectives, low causality map, strategic communication insufficient and fragmented. For interviewees organizational culture is the biggest impediment to structuring a management model based on indicators and strategic process should be initiated by non-financial indicators gradually. The performance indicators of the AACC/RN portray more meritocracy operational procedures of social projects in the context of the Strategic Map determined in a shortterm over the long term. However, there is evidence of improved performance management and strategic taken as a basis of planning as both the strategic map structured. Therefore, the nonprofits need to adopt a form of management that enables planning, setting objectives and targets that provide the continuity of its activities, and generating instruments that can measure the financial performance and non-financial, in order to develop strategic actions for growth and sustainability

Os serviços públicos estão confrontados, cada vez mais, com uma envolvente externa e interna mais exigente, o que inevitavelmente obriga à introdução da abordagem estratégica. A avaliação de desempenho na Administração Pública, obriga à integração de metodologias de gestão estratégica, que podem ser monitorizadas com o Balanced Scorecard (BSC), funcionando este como núcleo para alimentar os ciclos anuais de gestão e o sistema de avaliação de desempenho, contribuindo assim para melhorar a gestão dessas organizações. Este trabalho consubstancia uma proposta de projecto de organização e implementação de um BSC num serviço público específico, nomeadamente a Direcção de Serviços do Comércio e Serviços e do Turismo (DSCST) da Direcção Regional da Economia do Alentejo (DRE Alentejo). A abordagem estratégica na DRE-Alentejo e na DSCST, apoiada no BSC, constitui uma iniciativa que implica mudanças. Permite simplificar a definição da estratégia e do plano estratégico, apoiar a construção dos planos de actividades, o mapa de pessoal, a carta de missão, facilitar a comunicação da estratégia no interior e exterior da organização. Permite ainda o alinhamento e a articulação dos objectivos em todos os níveis hierárquicos com a estratégia, bem como a medição da eficácia da estratégia. Abstract: Government departments increasingly operate within an ever more demanding environment, in both internal and external terms, and there is therefore a requirement for the adoption of a strategic approach to public administration. Performance evaluation requires the use of strategic management methodologies monitored by means of a Balanced Scorecard (BSC), which provides data for annual management reviews and the performance evaluation system, thereby contributing towards the improved management of government departments. ln this paper a proposal is presented for the organization and implementation of a BSC in a specific public department, the (DRE-Alentejo) Alentejo Regional Department of Economic Affairs (DSCST) Department of Commerce and Tourism. The strategic approach based on BSC adopted by the DRE-Alentejo involves changes in the management system. The process of setting strategy and drawing up a strategic plan is simplified, and the approach helps in the drawing up of activity plans, the official staff plan and the mission statement; it also enables the organization's strategy to be better understood both internally and externally, while bringing it into line with objectives, which can be more coherently pursued at all levels; finally, it allows for the effectiveness of strategy to be gauged.

The nodes with dynamicity, and management without administrator are key features of mobile ad hoc networks (1VIANETs). Increasing resource requirements of nodes running different applications, scarcity of resources, and node mobility in MANETs are the important issues to be considered in allocation of resources. Moreover, management of limited resources for optimal allocation is a crucial task. In our proposed work we discuss a design of resource allocation protocol and its performance evaluation. The proposed protocol uses both static and mobile agents. The protocol does the distribution and parallelization of message propagation (mobile agent with information) in an efficient way to achieve scalability and speed up message delivery to the nodes in the sectors of the zones of a MANET. The protocol functionality has been simulated using Java Agent Development Environment (JADE) Framework for agent generation, migration and communication. A mobile agent migrates from central resource rich node with message and navigate autonomously in the zone of network until the boundary node. With the performance evaluation, it has been concluded that the proposed protocol consumes much less time to allocate the required resources to the nodes under requirement, utilize less network resources and increase the network scalability.

O presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar os impactos da utilização da Dinâmica de Sistemas na elaboração do mapa estratégico do Balanced Scorecard em organizações públicas de saúde. Dois objetivos específicos suportam o alcance deste objetivo geral. O primeiro objetivo específico busca elaborar o mapa estratégico do Balanced Scorecard utilizando a Dinâmica de Sistemas para uma organização pública de saúde. O segundo objetivo específico busca comparar a visão do mapa estratégico tradicional com a visão proporcionada pelo mapa estratégico dinâmico. A metodologia utilizada para a coleta de dados foi o grupo de foco e a presente pesquisa está classificada conforme a tipologia proposta por Raupp e Beuren (2003). Quanto aos objetivos, quanto aos procedimentos e quanto à abordagem do problema. Quanto aos objetivos o presente estudo pode ser classificado como exploratório. Quanto aos procedimentos, esta pesquisa é classificada como bibliográfica e também como pesquisa participante, pois há interação entre pesquisador e pesquisado. E, quanto à abordagem do problema este estudo é classificado como qualitativo. Inicialmente foi elaborado um modelo conceitual de mapa estratégico de um hospital privado. Este modelo foi apresentado a um gestor com vasta experiência em gestão de hospitais universitários públicos. Com base nos dados coletados este modelo conceitual inicial foi modificado e transformado em um mapa estratégico dinâmico de um hospital universitário público. Este mapa estratégico dinâmico foi comparado com um mapa tradicional e desta comparação concluiu-se que a Dinâmica de Sistemas pode construir modelos de mapas estratégicos muito mais corretos e elaborados do que aqueles construídos pela metodologia tradicional e ainda apresentar outras ferramentas potentes para a gestão estratégica de hospitais universitários públicos.

This Master of Science Thesis deals with a study on applying the BSC Balanced Scorecard to assess the performance of Federal Centers for Technological Education Institution in Brazil, the CEFET s (Centro Federal de Educação Tecnológica), government organizations non for profit. It s accomplished a literature review in order to understand the BSC and its application to non for profit organizations and as a main result it is proposed a BSC conceptual model with an inversion of the main BSC perspective from financial to customer/society. Taking the FORPLAN/CONCEFET performance indicators matrix it is developed a set of performance indicators for the two tops perspective in the conceptual model proposed five for customer/society perspective and three for financial/budget perspective. A field survey with ten CEFET s General Directors is conducted to validate the indicators and assess the perception of the Directors on the hierarchy of the conceptual model, and a hierarchy among the indicators as well. The main results suggests that the indicators are validated, that most of the Directors support the hierarchy presented in the conceptual model but 30% of them have a traditional model with financials coming first. In terms of indicator hierarchy, there s a slight priority for the student unitary cost among the financial perspective indicators, and a relative balance among the customer/society perspective indicators

Atualmente, existe uma constante necessidade de inovação tecnológica e organizacional das empresas, face às exigências do mercado e ao aumento constante da competitividade. No contexto da economia atual, e para contrariar a falta de investimento dos últimos anos, as empresas concentram-se no desenvolvimento de negócios bem estruturados e organizados, que satisfaçam as exigências de cada cliente. Revela-se, assim, muito importante a avaliação de desempenho para o alcance do seu sucesso, permitindo alinhar as atividades operacionais com a visão organizacional, fomentar a comunicação da estratégia e gerir o seu desempenho. É neste contexto que ganha importância o Balanced Scorecard, um instrumento que permite avaliar o desempenho organizacional, funcionando também como uma ferramenta de gestão. Tem, portanto, como principais objetivos definir claramente uma estratégia, definir objetivos, indicadores e medidas estratégicas, planear e estabelecer metas e melhorar continuamente os resultados obtidos. Esta ferramenta analisa a organização em quatro diferentes perspetivas: financeira, clientes, processos internos e apendizagem e crescimento. Cada uma delas deve estrututrar os seus próprios objetivos, indicadores, metas e iniciativas de forma a contribuir para o desenvolvimento da estratégia da organização e avaliar o seu desempenho. O desafio deste relatório é adaptar esta metodologia durante a realização de um estágio curricular na empresa Bysteel, que tem por base a implementação de um processo de gestão estratégica nas suas empreitadas, através do Balanced Scorecard. Este planemamento surge como um dos principais requisitos para uma gestão eficaz de custos e de tempo planeados para cada empreitada da Bysteel. Este processo torna-se bastante complexo dado que cada obra apresenta diferentes particularidades. A implementação desta metodologia numa empresa desta dimensão é um fator muito motivador, tornando-se ainda mais interessante pelo facto de se tratar de uma implementação numa nova vertente.

This study presents the results of a research on the use of financial and non-financial performance indicators used by medium and large hotels. The research was conducted in Rio Grande do Norte, a Brazilian State. The objective is to identify the usage of performance measures by these companies. Hotel industry is one of the most important sectors in the Rio Grande do Norte economy. The research takes the Balanced Scorecard as a conceptual framework, since it represents an original contribution to the literature of managerial accounting, for rethinking old issues, pointing out themes that were forgotten or badly interpreted, to discuss the requirements imposed by the economy environment, dominated by competitive companies, and increasing the understanding of the relationship between strategy and operation. The objective of the research is to investigate if the hotel managers make use of a managerial information system or not, when evaluating the performance of their business unit. The research reveals the usage of performance evaluation using a large variety of measures. Among them is worth mention: the usage of accounting profit altogether with the EVA/MVA, the process cycle time, total quality management, process transformation, strategic mission, vision, strategic measures, measures related to feedback, risk, costs, productivity, incomes, customers retention, customer satisfaction and profitability, measures using time as a component, quality of the process, cost of the processes, employees capabilities, information systems, motivation, empowerment and alignment. The research leads to the conclusion that the usage of the deriving concepts of Balanced Scorecard can improve the performance measurement systems used by hotels

A avaliação do desempenho das Organizações sem fins lucrativos (OSFL) tornou-se para os gestores um dos desafios mais importantes na atualidade. O estudo visa analisar a implementação do Balanced Scorecard (BSC) nas associações mutualistas, uma das formas legais de instituição das OSFL. Os principais objetivos são verificar se o BSC é adotado por estas organizações, quais as alterações necessárias para a sua implementação e por último, as vantagens e desvantagens inerentes dessa aplicação. O método de investigação utilizado foi o estudo de caso. Como procedimentos foram selecionados a análise documental, dos decretos-lei e código das Associações Mutualistas, os questionários e uma entrevista. As associações analisadas foram escolhidas com base na sua filiação na União das Mutualidades (UM), uma associação de grau superior. Apesar da evidência recolhida mostrar que o BSC não é implementado, são reconhecidas vantagens superiores às limitações para uma gestão mais eficaz. Adicionalmente os resultados sugerem que a estrutura do BSC teria de ser diversa daquela que está subjacente ao setor empresarial. Inicialmente o BSC era dirigido para organizações com fins lucrativos, pelo que a falta de informação e a necessidade de alteração desta ferramenta de gestão não tenha despertado o interesse na sua implementação. Contudo, os potenciais desta aplicação são reconhecidos.

Abstract: Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide a parallel review of the role and processes of monitoring and regulation of corporate identities, examining both the communication and the performance measurement literature. Design/methodology/approach – Two questions are posed: Is it possible to effectively monitor and regulate corporate identities as a management control process? and, What is the relationship between corporate identity and performance measurement? Findings – Corporate identity management is positioned as a strategically complex task embracing the shaping of a range of dimensions of organisational life. The performance measurement literature likewise now emphasises organisational ability to incorporate both financial and “soft” non-financial performance measures. Consequently, the balanced scorecard has the potential to play multiple roles in monitoring and regulating the key dimensions of corporate identities. These shifts in direction in both fields suggest that performance measurement systems, as self-producing and self-referencing systems, have the potential to become both organic and powerful as organisational symbols and communication tools. Through this process of understanding and mobilising the interaction of both approaches to management, it may be possible to create a less obtrusive and more subtle way to control the nature of the organisation. Originality/value – This paper attempts the theoretical and practical fusion of disciplinary knowledge around corporate identities and performance measurement systems, potentially making a significant contribution to understanding, shaping and managing organisational identities.
