Description This course is supposed to provide students with an understanding of the importance of management control and management control systems (MCS) for companies. The course focuses on the formal aspects of MCSs and how they are used to implement a company’s strategy by aligning individual, business unit and company goals. Furthermore, the behavioral aspects associated with MCSs are highlighted and intensively discussed.
After having explored the nature of MCSs, students will be introduced to the important elements of control systems. Different characteristics of organizations affecting the control process will be described in detail, thereby focusing on how to put in place effective MCS to address organizational chellenges. The course will be partly committed to the case method of teaching. The educational value of the cases (and the fun!) comes from the practice the students receive in analyzing management control problems and in discussing and defending their standpoints.Softskills No Off field No BeNeFri Yes Mobility Yes UniPop No Documents
