Abstract
The Balanced Scorecard Game (BSC) is an interactive simulator rooted in Kaplan & Norton's strategy planning and management methodology. Set within the case study 'neXstore: planning and executing a new strategy for a chain of convenience stores,' players assume the role of neXstore CEO tasked with achieving explosive company growth. To comply with the board's request, players must define an aggressive growth strategy with clear profitability goals and implement initiatives impacting strategic compliance and economic sustainability. Suitable for undergraduates and graduates in management control and strategy, participants need a grasp of financial ratios, basic income statements, and familiarity with the Balanced Scorecard architecture. Ideal for group play, with recommended team sizes of three to five, although the game can be used individually. Elevate your students' understanding of corporate strategy with the Balanced Scorecard Game.
