design of Management Control Systems. The paper firstly discusses what is meant by “Management Control Systems” and what is expected of “Management Control Systems”. Contingency-based research is outlined and five key contextual variables are identified for discussion. The five factors (external environment‚ technology‚ structure and size‚ strategy and national culture) are assessed to determine their impact on design and implementation of management control systems. Management Control Systems and Contingency-Based

THE CONTROL FUNCTION OF MANAGEMENT Introduction The control function of management an organization is an activity to ensure that others are doing what should be done after strategy and organizational planning is made. The activities usually include a description of some type of measurement and feedback process. The basic process of controls involves three steps:- 1. establishing standards. 2. measuring performance against these standards. 3. correcting deviations from standards and plans

10 The Promise of Management Control Systems for Innovation and Strategic Change TONY DAVILA M anagement control systems (MCS) have traditionally been viewed as tools to reduce variety and implement standardization (Anthony 1965). They are associated with extrinsic motivation‚ command and control management styles‚ and hierarchical structures. Because their objective is to minimize deviations from pre-established objectives‚ they are designed to block change for the sake of efficiency.

Computerised Environmental Control and Plant Management Systems Report For the new modern state of the art green houses there is the ability to run a computerised plant control system which controls the heat and ventilation of the greenhouse. It is likely that there will be different requirements for the system through the year. Alteration on the computer programme will allow the greenhouse environment to be adjusted which will help the growth of certain plants. Building a state of the

critical importance is one of control. Control is important because it is the only way managers know whether organisational goals are being met and if not‚ the reasons why. Control entails setting standards of quality‚ comparing actual performance with required performance standards and also taking corrective measures to align what is actual and supposed to be in existence. According to Cole‚ G. A. (2007) control is essentially a question of developing feedback systems throughout the organization
