Integration – Causal Chains and Strategy- CASE assignment

For this case assignment you will play the role of a consultant in presenting a case to a medium to large technology firm. A representative from the company, Sonic Technologies has contacted you and asked for you to meet with a group of company executives and to discuss how the Balanced Scorecard approach works in technology organizations.
Of course, it is well known that consultants are not all-knowing and that it is not uncommon to do a considerable amount of research before presenting a case to a given client. Fortunately, you came across the following document while preparing for the assignment:
Your task is to prepare an overview document that you will provide the individuals who participate in your meeting. This document should not exceed 5 pages, but should summarize the key points of the balanced scorecard process based on what you have learned this session and you need to apply what you have learned to technology organizations.
