A Balanced Scorecard with 6 Perspectives

What is important for an enterprise willing to deploy a BSC tool, is to adapt this concept to its strategic management purpose. I am now helping a freight forwarding company to implement a BSC. Due to the specificities in this sector, I find it necessary to add two other perspectives (vendor, socio-regulatory) in the BSC applicable in this company. With these six perspectives, it seems that we can measure the company's performance globally. I'm interested in listening to your fresh ideas about the BSC, thanks.

Hi Dawei, I tried to resort to the dictionary meaning of "perspective" and find it not very helpful.
In their book, "Translating Strategy into Action - the BSC", Kaplan and Norton indicate that:

This has left us in a compromising position as we now have to individually define the proper perspectives, hence the point as raised by Richard. Test the new perspectives for causal relationship with the rest and if you have alignment - you have another day. Thought provoking though.
