From the Paper:

"The balanced scorecard is visibly a positive approach to business because of the theory that it will identify all issues and create a stronger business environment. However, it is evident that the balanced scorecard is remiss in identifying all of the financial assets of the company, as well as the issues that exist at the present time. Furthermore, the balanced scorecard does not serve to support the workforce that eventually only work toward creating more viable mechanical systems that will eventually reduce jobs that are available. For these reasons it is concluded that the balanced scorecard cannot be a successful answer to business if the company desires to function effectively with labor."
