Background of the Study
The Balanced Scorecard (BSC) is a strategic planning and performance management tool that helps organizations measure their performance using four perspectives: financial, customer, internal business processes, and learning and growth. The BSC has been widely adopted by organizations across various sectors to improve performance, align activities with strategic goals, and enhance accountability. This study will examine the effectiveness of the Balanced Scorecard in enhancing the performance of organizations across Northern Nigeria.
Statement of the Problem
Many organizations in Northern Nigeria struggle with performance management due to a lack of comprehensive evaluation systems. Traditional performance evaluation methods often fail to address all aspects of performance, which limits the ability to achieve long-term goals. The BSC offers a more holistic approach to performance management, but its effectiveness in Northern Nigeria has not been thoroughly examined.

Research Hypothesis
- H₀: The Balanced Scorecard does not significantly improve organizational performance across Northern Nigeria.
- H₀: There is no significant relationship between the use of the Balanced Scorecard and performance improvements in the financial, customer, and internal business perspectives.
Significance of the Study
The findings will provide valuable insights into the use of the Balanced Scorecard in enhancing organizational performance in Northern Nigeria. The study will also offer recommendations for improving the implementation of the BSC in different sectors.
Scope and Limitation of the Study
