Effective Management Control

Effective Management Control -
Theory and Practice
By: Dr. Eric G. Flamholtz
Kluwer Academic Publishers
An effective organization is one where managers understand how to manage and the control systems help motivate and direct employees in their roles. Understanding organizational control systems is essential for the long-term effectiveness of an organization. Without enough control systems in place, confusion and chaos can overwhelm a company. However, if control systems are "choking" an organization, the company will suffer from erosion of innovation and entrepreneurship. The book highlights the features of a basic management control system including:

• Planning
• Measurement of goals
•  Feedback
• Evaluation
• Reward subsystems

The book illustrates the use of management control systems within the context of a company's organizational structure and culture.
