Abstract:
A strategy map is an important tool in strategic management which could be used to
guide an organization in carrying out its mission and achieving its vision. However,
it is more often used in large organizations compared to medium and small sized
enterprises. This paper reports the derivation of a strategy map for a third party
administrator in the healthcare industry to encourage it to adopt the balanced score
card and the strategy map in crafting its strategic direction . The proposed strategy
map is derived based on data obtained from interviews with the chief executive
officer of Medijaring Sendirian Berhad (MJSB), secondary data about MJSB and
suggestions of a focus group. It is recommended that MJSB consider using the
strategy map as a tool to determine its strategic direction.
