Introduction The focus of this paper is to discuss behavioral considerations in the management control process. The paper will discuss both personal observations made as both a manager of an organization and as an employee‚ as well as certain academic aspects. The textbook describes the management control system as a circular four part process which begins as strategic planning‚ followed by budgeting‚ then measurement and reporting‚ and ending with evaluation [ (Anthony‚ Hawkins‚ & Merchant‚ 2007)

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.
