The issue of organizational control and the design of  an optimal control system is essential for the long term effectiveness  of an organization: too little control can lead to confusion and  chaos; conversely, too great a degree of control can result in the  erosion of innovation and entrepreneurship. \u003cbr\u003e  This monograph presents a conceptual framework for approaching these  issues, and examines the role accounting can play in a successful  control system. The author works towards an understanding of the  nature, role, elements and functioning of organizational control and  control systems in organizations. The book posits and discusses the  features of a core control system and its component parts, including:  planning, measurement and feedback, evaluation and reward sub-systems.  It also discusses the ways in which a core control system operates  within a larger organizational structure and culture. The theory is  illustrated through its application to a particular case study.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2011-09-26\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9781461285861\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461285861\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4613-1359-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 174\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44340861075596,"sku":"9781461285861","price":153.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461285861.jpg?v=1755045300","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781461285861","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
