This methodology has a holistic view in organizations by using balanced scorecard framework. Research limitations/implications - This research is based on a single case. Generalization based on this case should be interpreted cautiously and a limitation of the case study should be kept in mind. Furthermore, the strategy of the research case is a competitive strategy and the strategic processes are chosen according to this strategy. They may be changed based on other strategies. In interpreting the result, these limitations should be kept in mind. Originality/value - Defining the strategic processes helps organizations to use their resources based on their objectives.
