Strategic planning as competitive differential in the implementation of radioisotopes technology

Strategic planning is one of most important management tools for decision making. The Nuclear Area is a major segment in modern society not only in energy production but in many other sectors of the economy. The objective of this doctoral research was to propose the implementation of planning strategic tool, the BSCBalanced Scorecard through relational performance indicators in order to facilitate the visualization in the simplest possible way for managers based on current and institutional strategic plans of the Sealed Sources Production Laboratory. The methodology used in this academic doctoral study was a case study, which considered the survey period from 2008 to 2015. The main results expected from this study can be cited as: a better view of the strategic plans, an additional tool in order to support management decision making, the ability to change the frequency of analysis and results and targets to be achieved among others. After the results that this research has achieved it can be concluded that this study could be of a great value to the Sealed Sources Production Laboratory if their managers choose to adopt this management tool. Finally, this proposal will enable this lab mapping directions for this lab in a more effective way using the resources it has, by doing so, it will bring benefits such as greater visibility and more effective action on strategic decision making process.
