Question: Evaluating management control systems, balanced scorecard. Quick Stop operates 1,000 convenience stores throughout the United States. The company's slogan is "Best Stop of the Day," and its mission is to make every customer a return customer. Quick Stop's corporate strategy supports this mission by stressing the importance of sparkling clean surroundings, well-stocked shelves, and, above all, cheerful employees. Of course, improved shareholder value drives this strategy.
