DSW (Designer Shoe Warehouse) has had an increase of 11.5% in sales during the 2012 fiscal year. This is due to an increase in customer sales, “conversion and average unit retail.” (www.dsw.com, 2013) However, in 2012 there was a decrease in the company’s merchandise margin rate due to poor sales.

The author’s development of explaining the theory and validity of the research had minimum thorough explanation. The results were provided through quantitative means instead of qualitative. This is not an issue; however, this could have been studied

Discuss the overall method (RCT) used for this quantitative research (in terms of how such a study should be conducted and what was and was not done).

A balance scorecard is essential for developing a healthy business growing place. It is a vital key for defining the goals and targets of a company as well as the vision, mission and the SWOTT Analysis. A balanced scorecard is, “A set of measures that are directly linked to a company’s strategy: financial performance, customer knowledge, internal business processes, and learning and growth” (Pearce & Robinson, 2013, p. 194). This company will relate the in-building turbines values, mission, vision and SWOTT Analysis with the four perspectives of the scorecard (financial performance, customer knowledge, internal business process, and learning and

Develop a balanced scorecard for your bookshop (addressed in Assignment 1). Which of the four perspectives of the scorecard will be the most difficult for you to control? Why?

Achieving a school district’s mission and vision requires the commitment of its stakeholders. In order to involve them in the process, it is necessary for educational leaders to “motivate staff, parents, students, board and community members” (Educational Leadership Constituencies Council, 2002, p. 4). The transformational leadership theory emphasizes the importance of educational leaders acting as role-models in order to motivate and inspire the school community. This approach has the potential to involve all stakeholders, leading to increased student success (Bush, 2007). The Assistant Director of Special Education in Northwest ISD directly supervised the school district’s assessment staff. Her education, experience, and passion set an example for her subordinates, stimulating them to achieve more, leading to her promotion to Executive Director of Student Services.

Description of the theory that is guiding the research and assessment of whether it is clear how the authors used it to shape the study

The greater the competitive intensity of a given industry the more essential the four foundational elements of balanced scorecards become in translating expertise and knowledge into profitable performance. The BSC framework unifies and galvanizes the vision, mission and values of an enterprise into a framework that encompasses learning and growth, internal business processes, customer-driven innovation and financial factors of the business (Kaplan, Norton, 2001). Case analyses of the Tri-Cities Community Bank: A Balanced Scorecard Case (Albright, Davis, Hibbets, 2001) and Walmart Corporation illustrate how causal chain analysis is an essential component of a complete BSC strategy. The value of causal chain analysis is particularly valid for Walmart Corporation, whose business model is predicated on the continual operation of a smoothly-functioning supply chain that needs to continually translate learning into process improvement for improving the customer experience and profits (Park, Min, Park, 2011). Walmart illustrates how difficult it is to simultaneously balance the four perspectives in the balanced scorecard. Part One of this analysis illustrates through previous case analyses and research completed in this course. Part Two of this analysis defines and discusses two concepts that are essential to be successful in business administration. Part Three is s reflective essay on experiences taking this course in

The most important thing to having a successful business is to have the most up to date information. If you have all the information at your fingertips it can help you to make the best possible decisions. What kind of information is available and how do we sort through it and use this information? In the hospitality industry the amount of information received everyday is overwhelming, and it isn’t possible for staff to be able to sort through it and organize it properly. In the hospitality industry the information technologies are the tools that the staff uses to sort and manage the information and the balanced score card is just one
