Abstract

This paper proposes, implements and routinises a strategic management control system (MCS) as a means of stimulating the managerialisation of small organisations. To this end, this paper develops a single case study based on a small Italian residential care home. The tool employed entailed significant organisational, operational and cultural changes. Thus, careful analysis of the nature and economic and financial consequences of this process are needed. This control system also aims to become a reporting and communication tool to inform stakeholders of the organisation?s behaviour, results and economic and social responsibilities. This paper utilises an interventionist approach, and its value lies in its practical implications, which contribute to a reduction in the gap between theory and practice.
