In management literature there is widespread agreement on the insufficiency of the tools currently used for the evaluation of corporate communications. This insufficiency is due to the fact that, up to now, the measurement of outputs, outtakes, and outcomes has helped to improve only the effectiveness of communication. Whether in fact the goals, objectives, and accomplishments of the company or organization as a whole have been achieved cannot be proved. The crucial level of outflow of communication – the creation of economic value by building up corporate reputation, stable relations to important stakeholders, and other intangible values – is not dealt with by current measurements. For these reasons theory and practice have led to the suggestion that the balanced scorecard (BSC) should be used in corporate communications.As a management tool the BSC has been widely approved in various areas of business administration. However, it should be treated with caution: most models adapting the BSC for corporate communications do not go far enough. The corporate communications scorecard (CCS) proposed in this project is an attempt to overcome the limitations of current approaches. It is intended to be introduced into the management process of corporate communications for both strategic and operational planning as well as evaluation. On a strategic level the CCS may be used to establish a direct relation between business strategy and communication objectives. On a operational level the scorecard may ensure that individual activities within the communication programs are linked to these communication goals.

In 1996, NKK Corporation, one of Japan's foremost heavy industrial companies, involved in steel, shipbuilding, steel fabrication, construction, industrial machinery and engineering, obtained an exclusive sales license from Lagerwey Windturbine BV to introduce its wind turbines to Japan. Since then, NKK has been pursuing energetic marketing campaigns, focusing on the 750kW-output model. Equipped with synchronous-type generators and variable speed and pitch control systems, the Lagerwey windturbines feature high energy efficiency, consistent output, easy maintenance and smooth integration with electrical utilities. In April 1998, NKK has received its first order from Hisai City, Mie Prefecture in central Japan to construct the 3 MW Hisai Sakakibara Wind Power Plant. NKK's ¥800 million full-turnkey order included civil engineering, the wind turbines and system integration. In August 1999, the Hisai wind power plant began operation. By June 2001 NKK has received wind power plant orders equivalent to 67 MW with 92 units already built or being built. Orders received during 2000 included two 21 MW wind farms to be built in Hokkaido.
