Let’s think about incentives
What kind of incentives do you know? What is your experience?
![Page 7: Incentives and BSC Managerial Accounting David Fender](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062318/5519dffa5503468b0c8b4cbd/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Forms and types of compensation
Measurement of performance versus compensation
Bonuses Based a contract Subjective bonuses
Non-monetary compensation
Promotion/ Title bump Salary increase
![Page 8: Incentives and BSC Managerial Accounting David Fender](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062318/5519dffa5503468b0c8b4cbd/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
What is the primary
objective of a firm’s
compensation system?
“What you measure gets done!”
![Page 9: Incentives and BSC Managerial Accounting David Fender](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062318/5519dffa5503468b0c8b4cbd/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
What is the primary
objective of a firm’s
compensation system? To attract talented people to a company (self-
selection)
To provide incentives to make people exert and appropriately allocate effort in a manner consistent with the firms goals (i.e., to achieve goal congruence). flat salary won’t work must tie compensation to performance
Induce communication
Direct attention
![Page 10: Incentives and BSC Managerial Accounting David Fender](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062318/5519dffa5503468b0c8b4cbd/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
What are potentially constraining factors (other factors) that you should consider when setting compensation?
Factors when determining
compensation
![Page 11: Incentives and BSC Managerial Accounting David Fender](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062318/5519dffa5503468b0c8b4cbd/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Potentially constraining factors: Cost Risk to employee and employer Fairness
Equitable compensation (equity principle)
Transparency – comparability Accountability
Factors when determining
compensation

Financial performance measures have a lag
timeWhat are you likely to see earlier?
Parts not fitting of a car coming down production line
Warranty claims
![Page 14: Incentives and BSC Managerial Accounting David Fender](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062318/5519dffa5503468b0c8b4cbd/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Example 1: CEO Motorola
CEO changed agenda of meetings – non-financial performance measures where covered first – he left when the hardcore money numbers where covered
Why? – he wanted to set a signal that when quality is achieved the financials will follow and that employees should focus on other numbers instead of money
![Page 15: Incentives and BSC Managerial Accounting David Fender](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062318/5519dffa5503468b0c8b4cbd/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Example 2: VW
Gap between car parts is a measure for quality of production – the less the better
VW had quality problems in 80s – CEO wanted to emphasize quality and measured gaps between car parts when cars rolled of the line
![Page 16: Incentives and BSC Managerial Accounting David Fender](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062318/5519dffa5503468b0c8b4cbd/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Non-financial performance measure
Nonfinancial performance metrics (NFP): Variables not denominated in $$ but
associated with value creation Reliability may be low (e.g. customer
satisfaction) NFP should SUPPLEMENT, not replace
financial measures
Are often leading indicators of financial performance(relevance is high)
Are often more actionable
![Page 17: Incentives and BSC Managerial Accounting David Fender](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062318/5519dffa5503468b0c8b4cbd/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
What do I mean by more actionable?
What’s the difference between CEO compensation
and compensation for a production line supervisor?
Why aren’t high-level financial metrics good
performance measures to evaluate and reward the
production line supervisor?
![Page 18: Incentives and BSC Managerial Accounting David Fender](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062318/5519dffa5503468b0c8b4cbd/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
“Sensitive”
What we need are performance measures
that are
“sensitive”
to individual managerial actions.
![Page 19: Incentives and BSC Managerial Accounting David Fender](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062318/5519dffa5503468b0c8b4cbd/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Additional advantage of NFP
As a manager you need to connect to people
Other people might not speak “cost accounting”. Engineers speak a different language.

Balanced Score Card
Balanced Score Card (BSC)

The Balanced Scorecard
The balanced scorecard translates an organization’s mission and strategy into a set of performance measures that provides the framework for implementing its strategy
It is called the balanced scorecard because it balances the use of financial and nonfinancial performance measures to evaluate performance
![Page 22: Incentives and BSC Managerial Accounting David Fender](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062318/5519dffa5503468b0c8b4cbd/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

No single measure can guide and motivate the actions to drive future performance.
Need to balance short-term performance with long-term growth opportunities. BSC combines measures with short term
and long term orientationAND
With short term and long term feedback
Balanced Scorecard (BSC)
![Page 24: Incentives and BSC Managerial Accounting David Fender](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062318/5519dffa5503468b0c8b4cbd/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The Financial Perspective
Evaluates the profitability of the strategy
Uses the most objective measures in the scorecard
The other three perspectives eventually feed back into this dimension
![Page 25: Incentives and BSC Managerial Accounting David Fender](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062318/5519dffa5503468b0c8b4cbd/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
The Customer Perspective
Identifies targeted customer and market segments and measures the company’s success in these segments
![Page 26: Incentives and BSC Managerial Accounting David Fender](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062318/5519dffa5503468b0c8b4cbd/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The Internal Business Prospective
Focuses on internal operations that create value for customers that, in turn, furthers the financial perspective by increasing shareholder value
Includes three sub processes:1. Innovation2. Operations3. Post-sales service
![Page 27: Incentives and BSC Managerial Accounting David Fender](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062318/5519dffa5503468b0c8b4cbd/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
The Learning & Growth Perspective
Identifies the capabilities the organization must excel at to achieve superior internal processes that create value for customers and shareholders
![Page 28: Incentives and BSC Managerial Accounting David Fender](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062318/5519dffa5503468b0c8b4cbd/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Why useful?
It tells the story of a company’s strategy by articulating a sequence of cause-and-effect relationships. It helps identify trade-offs
It assists in communicating the strategy to all members of the organization by translating the strategy into a coherent and linked set of measurable operational targets.
The scorecard limits the number of measures used by identifying only the most critical ones (reduces complexity).

Why?
Measuring success requires a well defined strategy Why?
Defining a strategy gets easier with a balanced scorecard! Why?
![Page 31: Incentives and BSC Managerial Accounting David Fender](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062318/5519dffa5503468b0c8b4cbd/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
The balanced scorecard lays out concrete actions to attain desired
outcomes.
A balanced scorecard should have measuresthat are linked together on a cause-and-effect
basis.
If we improveone performance
measure . . .
Another desiredperformance measure
will improve.

How does BSC connect to strategy?
Identify and define what your business is
Identify measures of success by with different lag times
Transform this into financial success measures
![Page 33: Incentives and BSC Managerial Accounting David Fender](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062318/5519dffa5503468b0c8b4cbd/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
SM and KPI
Strategy map:
A strategy map is a diagram that is used to document the primary strategic goals being pursued by an organization or management team.
KPI:
Key Performance Indicators are quantifiable measurements, agreed to beforehand, that reflect the critical success factors of an organization.
![Page 34: Incentives and BSC Managerial Accounting David Fender](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062318/5519dffa5503468b0c8b4cbd/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Theory The choice of measures should be a function of
the organization’s strategy and its corresponding value drivers the measure’s informativeness about the achievement of
organizational objectives (and/or about managers’ actions… more on this next time)
In reality, the choice of measures is poorly linked to strategy in many companies*
69% attempted to link measures to strategy However, only 22% attempted to rigorously make this link

Human pitfalls
Common measures bias Managers default to financial numbers
Categorization We think of people as either good or
bad Non-negativity bias
We do not want to give negative feedback
Fundamental attribution error We just hate to be wrong
![Page 41: Incentives and BSC Managerial Accounting David Fender](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062318/5519dffa5503468b0c8b4cbd/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Citibank
Introduced BSC with subjective performance measures in the US
Few years later abandoned subjective measures and replaced them by objective measures Measures created perception
of unfairness among employees

Conclusion
“I had hoped to be able to document the incidence and value of innovative accounting and control systems …”
“I found that changes in accounting lag far behind changes in the real production phenomena they are supposed to represent.”“Effective managerial accounting systems must reflect the value-creating activities of
companies: in operations, in marketing and sales, and in product and process
development…” (Kaplan, 1985)
