The objectives of the thesis are to investigate (a) whether book value and earnings are still value relevance; (b) whether BSC measures are value relevance; (c) whether firm specific characteristics influence the value relevance of BSC measures; (d) whether book value and earnings could predict future market price; and (e) whether BSC measures could predict future market price. The sample was selected from Malaysian firms that have been listed for more than 10 years. Using a six year data from 2003 – 2008, the sample size is 1899 firm-years for the analysis current year market price and 1467 firm-years for the analysis of future year market price.
