Abstract

In this paper we aim to develop a Balanced Scorecard (BSC) model for a nonprofit organization whose activity focuses on the teaching of chess. In order to answer the research question, we have carried out a qualitative research based on the case study. Our study is characterized by a descriptive analysis. The results allow us to conclude that the BSC is a tool that will allow to define the strategy in a clearer and objective way, allowing a greater awareness of the importance of an internal organization that allows to reach the defined objectives through a set of initiatives. The study presents a contribution to the current state of knowledge, since we seek to provide the organization with a management tool that allows to measure its performance and the value it adds to society and to outline a consistent and sustainable long-term strategy. In addition, a theoretical basis is provided for subsequent research, evidencing the breadth of research on the topic studied.

Los resultados nos permiten concluir que el BSC es una herramienta que permitirá definir la estrategia de una manera más clara y objetiva, permitiendo una mayor conciencia de la importancia de una organización interna que permita alcanzar los objetivos definidos a través de un conjunto de iniciativas. El estudio presenta una contribución al estado actual del conocimiento, ya que buscamos proporcionar a la organización una herramienta de gestión que le permita medir su desempeño y el valor que agrega a la sociedad y esbozar una estrategia a largo plazo consistente y sostenible. Además, se proporciona una base teórica para la investigación posterior, lo que evidencia la amplitud de la investigación sobre el tema estudiado.
