When asked what the nature of their organization was 53.3%
of the respondents said a private company. Of the remaining
responses, 30% said they were a partnership and 16.7% were
‘other’. The ‘other’s were unspecified as “subsidiary company”
and “co-operative company”. Balanced scorecard users were for
the greater part publicly listed companies and the users of
integrated performance measurement systems (IPMS) were
predominantly private companies. The size of the companies
varied greatly, from 22 to 100,000 employees, with annual
revenue varying just as much, between 10,000 and 255 billion
