Abstract

Management control is about the process of steering organizations through the environments in which they ope rate, to achieve both short- term and longer-term goals. These goals will differ from organization to organization because their stakeholders are different and the compromises between different stakeholder demands will be resolved in different ways, in part dependent on the relative power of different stakeholder groups in each context, and also on the past history and trajectory of the organization. However, the longer-term goals will almost inevitably include the survival of the enterprise itself, as this generally is in the interests of most stakeholder groups, most of the time.
