analysis. The findings revealed that BSC’s implementation in the context of Jordanian
Manufacturing Companies is approximately 38%. Findings from the semi-structured interviews reveal that
factors including fashion, forced decision, fad and efficiency are directly related to BSC implementation

Resistance from employees, a lack of software packages supporting the BSC, and there were
misunderstandings about the relationship between the espoused organizational strategy and the BSC
