erstanding the Balanced Scorecard (four perspectives) and how it is used to determine if an organization focuses on one perspective more than another?...

I am having trouble understanding the Balanced Scorecard (four perspectives) and how it is used to determine if an organization focuses on one perspective more than another? For example: how do I look at an already established organization and find out if they place disproportionate emphasis on the financial perspective at the expense of the other three perspectives.
