The BSC is not the first choice for strategic management control of most firms in the sample. Most SMEs in this study have an explicitly formulated business strategy. The results show that it is possible to implement the BSC in SMEs without a formalized strategy. Such findings seem to suggest that the use of the BSC may stimulate the formulation of strategies for those firms.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Research limitations\/implications<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The use of fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis limits the generalization of the findings; nonetheless, the transparency of the report enables replication without restrictions.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Practical implications<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This paper proposes that the size of the firm and the characteristics of the manager may compensate for the absence of a strategy to guide BSC use.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Social implications<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This paper advises a match between the stage of development of the SMEs strategy and the gender of the manager, which may have implications for recruitment purposes.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Originality\/value<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This study reports alternative configurations of individual and organizational conditions that lead to the use of the BSC in SMEs as well as configurations that prevent its use.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/mrjiam-06-2024-1550","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,24]],"date-time":"2024-09-24T03:08:54Z","timestamp":1727147334000},"page":"203-232","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Perceptions and configurations of balanced scorecard use: evidence from Portuguese SMEs"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Carla","family":"Curado","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"ISEG Lisbon School of Economics and Management ADVANCE\/CSG, Department of Management, , Lisboa,","place":["Portugal"]}]},{"given":"Maria Miguel","family":"Jesus","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ISEG Lisbon School of Economics and Management , Lisboa,","place":["Portugal"]}]},{"given":"Nick","family":"Bontis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"McMaster University DeGroote School of Business, , Hamilton,","place":["Canada"]}]}],"member":"140","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,26]]},"reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"2025081309235296500_ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"383","DOI":"10.1016\/j.bushor.2019.01.005","article-title":"Opening up strategy formulation: benefits, risks, and some suggestions","volume":"62","author":"Adobor","year":"2019","journal-title":"Business Horizons"},{"issue":"4","key":"2025081309235296500_ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"441","DOI":"10.1016\/S0024-6301(01)00057-7","article-title":"Applying the balanced scorecard concept: an experience report","volume":"34","author":"Ahn","year":"2001","journal-title":"Long Range Planning"},{"issue":"11","key":"2025081309235296500_ref003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2057","DOI":"10.1080\/09654313.2017.1281231","article-title":"Making visible the role of vocational education and training in firm innovation: evidence from Spanish SMEs","volume":"25","author":"Albizu","year":"2017","journal-title":"European Planning Studies"},{"issue":"3","key":"2025081309235296500_ref004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"13","DOI":"10.1108\/14720700210440044","article-title":"CEOs and development of the meaningful mission statement","volume":"2","author":"Analoui","year":"2002","journal-title":"Corporate Governance: The International Journal of Business in Society"},{"issue":"1","key":"2025081309235296500_ref005","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"65","DOI":"10.22452\/AJAP.vol13no1.4","article-title":"Balanced scorecard: is it beneficial enough?
