Learning outcomes

Enterprise strategies are not appraisable only by financial information which is concise and short-term biased. Starting from such considerations, several strategic multidimensional control systems have been successfully developed. The course introduces the most widely known of them (Balanced ScoreCard, Key Performance Indicators etc.) and addresses some issues related to the multiplicity of metrics used, the strengths and the limitations of such multidimensional control systems and their effective employment in practice.
