dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this study was to assess the gap on the implementation of Balanced Scorecard (BSC) and recommend appropriate management development tools that fit with the newly redesigned processes so as to make the change effective and sustainable. The research was conducted at the Ethiopian Management Institute (EMI) which started the implementation of newly designed processes. The methodology employed for undertaking this research includes questionnaire, interviews, literature review and internets. The methodology used helps to acquire sufficient data and the contribution of the research was to reveal strengths and obstacles of BSC implementation indicate the required attitudinal change and suggest the role and commitment of leaders. Analysis of the collected data revealed that there was awareness on BSC but making it practical requires more than having a general awareness in their working environment. During the transformation process EMI encountered challenges and also obtained improvements in the area of leadership, human resource, process and working environment aspects. With regard to assessing the BSC implementation, the capacity of leaders (process owners) and performers in few areas of the parameters was found to be satisfactory. In majority of the areas, observable gaps were clearly seen which required additional organizational development efforts. Further, from the transformational perspective, ultimate change result is expected in the mind set-up of leaders and employees that must show an excellent strategy, communication and performance changes in EMI which is not yet observed so far. That is the point where everybody can say that the transformation process is effective and sustainable. In order to develop/implement BSC system, EMI should undertake measures like assessing existing BSC system, creating awareness on the needs to change/adjust strategies, communication process and performance measurement systems, identifying and correcting newly developed BSC, conducting continuous assessment on the status of their implementation and developing integration mechanism of BSC with other organizational management systems.en_US
