Companies usually choose a strategic performance system, despite that only a few can implement it successfully for certain reasons, as the Balanced Scorecard was introduced to overcome the shortage of traditional performance measurement systems.

The study uses purposive sampling to conduct semi-structured interviews with nine managers from Jordanian banks to obtain data for the study. A Thematic, narrative cross-case analysis is used to analyze the data. This study reveals four main barriers that affects Balanced Scorecard strategy implementation. It is found that most of the participants are not aware about the Balanced Scorecard. It is also found that strategic systems' education and training are limited to managers or for specific team members. Add to that, inefficient communication between employees and between management levels. Besides, this study shows the absence of employee participation in the process of building or reviewing the performance system. Moreover, this study finding indicates that the information support is restricted, and employees are unmotivated to apply a new strategy. It also implies that the fund which Jordanian bank allocates for strategy implementation purposes is insufficient. Jordanian banks need to accept western ideas and focus more on new modern systems instead of relying on the traditional system to be able to associate and react to the economic variables. All employees should be given training about strategic plans, and they should understand how their work contributes to the overall bank strategy. Banks should develop the IT systems to make the communication process between employees and between managements easier and faster to report or solve problems, not just relying on e-mails and following the career hierarchy. This study also recommends that managers and employees should participate in all bank strategy building steps, even all bank employee must know how their daily work contributes in the general bank strategy.

summary The adoption of a suitable performance measurement strategy becomes a fundamental matter, and the changing business environment encourages companies to use strategic management tools such as Balanced Scorecard (BSC). Companies usually choose a strategic performance system, despite that only a few can implement it successfully for certain reasons, as the Balanced Scorecard was introduced to overcome the shortage of traditional performance measurement systems.
