This paper compares and contrasts the performance measurement techniques of The Balanced Scorecard (BSC) which is widely used in industry and Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) which is primarily a research tool. A review of the literature revealed a paucity of “real world” airline applications of the BSC while MCDM has been applied to the airline industry but primarily from a research/academic perspective. The aim of this piece of work was to examine the suitability of each process for application to the airline industry. The results show that both methods are suitable for performance measurement in an airline context but that both

The observed company continually experienced difficulties producing new and accurate data concerning their existing measurement towards non-financial indicators, especially in their customer and employee perspectives. The author intends to analyze the connection between the company’s two business perspectives (customer perspective and learning and growth perspective) and the balanced scorecard (BSC) approach. The authors utilized an interventionist research approach to analyze and interpret the effects of a BSC implementation into an Italian company. The author, along with a team of researchers, continually collaborated with and observed upper level managers of the company during the design and implementation stages. Therefore, direct observation and the analysis of internal documents were used as the main sources of information for both the design and implementation stages of the study. Companies, academics, and business professionals interested in the relationship and study into the design and implementation of a BSC approach and its effects on a company’s intellectual capital measurement.The author’s interventionist approach intended to analyze the company’s BSC approach provided key information into the partially successful implementation and the reasoning behind the resistance to alter existing measurements of non-financial indicators. Without the author and his team directly observing and cataloging the interactions of top managers in their internal meetings,
