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.

A 6-perspective BSC is OK!
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.
