Publisher's Notes
Management control systems (MCSs) is a complex and multidimensional subject, which is comprehensively and clearly addressed by this new book. It assumes a basic level of knowledge of management accounting, but it is suitable for upper level undergraduates who have taken a prior management accounting course, as well as for postgraduates and practising professionals. Features and benefits - Combination of an extensive set of case studies, text and real-life examples creates a balanced picture of the concepts, theories and issues surrounding the subject and equips students with the requisite skills to apply them to specific decision-making situations that managers face.
- Case study selection includes many Harvard Business School cases, as well as a range of original cases covering businesses in Europe, the USA and beyond.
- Coverage of the latest management control-related tools and techniques, such as EVA™ and Balanced Scorecard.
- Inclusion of findings of empirical research on the effectiveness of MCS design within different organizational settings provides a solid foundation to the subject.
- Greater emphasis on management control in the context of strategy and planning offers students the opportunity to develop their analytical skills in this area.
- Focus on the use and effects of 'financial results controls' which dominate at managerial levels in all but the smallest organizations. It also provides a broad treatment of alternative management controls that puts the financially-oriented controls into the proper perspective.
