Some authors argue that the result of the studies that related investments in IS\/IT and the increasing performance of the organizations in the last thirty years were far from true. In this paper the authors propose a link between the Benefits Dependency Network, from a Benefits Management approach, and a Strategy Map, from Balanced Scorecard, to improve the management of business benefits and to ensure that actions taken along the investment life-cycle lead to foreseen benefits realization. The goal of this integration is to build a framework that combines useful features of both methods. The authors sustain that they can be complementary. As a Strategy Map is committed with strategic alignment, communication and monitoring of strategy execution at all levels of an organization, a Benefits Dependency Network is aimed at explaining how benefits are going to be obtained through organizational change. Using the results of a case-study research, the authors explain how a Strategy Map can cross with the Benefits Dependency Network. The integrated contribution is meant to increase the investments effectiveness, giving to stakeholders the confidence on a clearer delivery path for their expected benefits.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4018\/jitbag.2013010104","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,9,13]],"date-time":"2013-09-13T19:53:55Z","timestamp":1379102035000},"page":"44-54","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["The Benefits Management and Balanced Scorecard Strategy Map"],"prefix":"10.4018","volume":"4","author":[{"given":"Jorge","family":"Gomes","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto Superior de Economia e Gest\u00e3o (ISEG-UTL), Lisbon, Portugal"}]},{"given":"M\u00e1rio","family":"Rom\u00e3o","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ISCTE\u2013 University Institute of Lisbon (ISCTE-IUL), Lisbon, Portugal"}]},{"given":"M\u00e1rio","family":"Caldeira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto Superior de Economia e Gest\u00e3o (ISEG-UTL), Lisbon, Portugal"}]}],"member":"2432","reference":[{"key":"jitbag.2013010104-0","first-page":"1","article-title":"Towards the formulation of \u201ca best practice\u201d framework for benefits realization in IT projects.","volume":"6","author":"C.Ashurst","year":"2003","journal-title":"Electronic Journal of Information Systems Evaluation"},{"key":"jitbag.2013010104-1","unstructured":"Atkinson A. & Epstein M.
