Balanced Scorecards with SAP Strategic Enterprise Management

Balanced Scorecards have developed into a main management tool for analysing the inter-dependencies between the functional areas of a business organisation. Using SAPTM Strategic Enterprise Management this book serves as a companion to a practical lecture on how to implement a Balanced Scorecard in an IT system. Students create the underlying Data Warehouse structures, define the key figures and their inter-dependencies, build the Scorecard system and analyse it in a realistic case study. A host of free, Web-based materials may be used in conjunction with this book, available at http://erp. wu-wien. ac. at. The material includes transparencies for classroom use and a case study with data for student projects. The intended audience of this book is students of business administration and applied computing science, consultants and teachers. But also practitioners in financial and management accounting will find this book useful as it provides an overview of how to implement an important management method in an IT system.
