Abstract
The objective of this paper is to demonstrate how the boosting approach can be used to define a data-driven board Balanced Scorecard (BSC) with applications to S&P 500 companies. Using Adaboost, we can generate alternating decision trees (ADTs) that explain the relationship between corporate governance variables, and firm performance.We also propose an algorithm to build a representative ADT based on cross-validation experiments. The representative ADT selects the most important indicators for the board BSC. As a final result, we propose a partially automated strategic planning system combining Adaboost with the board BSC for board-level or investment decisions.
